.::2008 photos of the welcoming of 2009::.
Okay, first of all I DID NOT PHOTOSHOP THESE besides, I don't have Adobe Photoshop since I reformatted my laptop--and I'm horrible at Photography
Here are some of the photos I took with my brand, new camera I got for Christmas. They're all about the wonderfully annoying fireworks that were displayed last New Year. Please don't flame the pictures I've taken or you're increasing the chance of this thread getting locked than it already is... Oh, one more thing--FYI, timing your finger to press the "capture" button when the fireworks explode is extremely difficult. Adding to this, I had to be aware of ricocheting pyrotechnics that compassed the sky and would harm meh at any time. Spoiler:

There would've been more if it weren't for me charging the battery earlier, that and my suckishness at photography. Please share your non-biased opinions. -_- I HARE FIRE WORKS |
Well I must say, you must have some nice reflexes there to be able to capture a firework as the explode however the last two were just a tad late..
Pretty cool photos and nice colours especially without any influence of Photoshop or the like. Nice work! |

Anyway, thanks. |
No problems, anyways out of curiousity, how many photos did you end up with nothing but a blank sky? Because I know that when I was doing some photography for school, to take one good shot based on luck, it took me nearly 200 shots for a nice one...
|
The reason why I ended up with 0% battery at 11:54 PM is that I captured 400+ photos that ended up with either with a blank sky or my finger covering the lens...
It really sucks. |
Oh wow. Well finger over the lens is probably you getting used to the camera so I suppose that is acceptable.
|
Trust me, it is very frustrating finding an obscurity on your photo...

Anyway, I'm no expert in photography myself, but I am able to tell the difference between good quality and bad quality images. The quality of these is... not really that great. At all. :( Did you just use a plain, digital camera to shoot these? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but these type of pictures are usually what you end up with when shooting with your average, run-of-the-mill camera. Also, you should try to reevaluate your technique. The picture of the match sticks doesn't really have any of the characteristics a good photograph should have. There's no depth, angle, focal, nothing. I mean, it's just like staring straight down at a pile matches, which really isn't that interesting. I like the concept of it all, but that's only half the equation. The other half is exposing it's full potential in the way you shoot it. All in all, it's not a bad start. You have the right idea, it's just you need to learn to how to incorporate basic elements into your photography. Surf the net for a few tutorials. DeviantART, perhaps? |

It wasn't the camera, it was my skill and my caution. It is pretty dangerous getting very close to these pyrotechnics and as I mentioned earlier, there is a possible chance of me getting hit by ricocheting fireworks mind you. And, one more thing, I have no specific intention of making the match stick picture have any good characteristics as you have mentioned because its depth, angle or focal doesn't concern me at all. But, I appreciate your criticism. |
If these things don't concern you, then this would probably have been better off in a blog or something.
Where it says "Graphics & Photography" I'm pretty they mean photographs that have had time and thought put into them, not a blurry mess of lights from a drunken night out. |
