Shoot for the Art

[raddimus]

yhea i could light it up but I like the dreary feeling,I pursonally like the black of the fence,but on that too that was my child hood home behind the fence thats the one of the broken roof. it looked all dark. secondly I also actually like the way the road rolled then takes a sharp turn.the american flag. and that it was a grave yard in front of my run down home, I thought it was was kinda relevant. as my house was also on it's deathbed and is all dark looking,I like good photos of the sky but some times I'm just in that dark kinda mood. I was happy to see all my old stompping grounds but I was kinda feeling dark and sad as what a state my old homes had become.

[uraydo]

actually I think its too light. not too dark. I was trying to cut out some of the brighter sections with the crop to give the illusion of it being darker than it is. also, noticed what I cut out. mostly the sky and some open space to the left. I kept the house, the fence, and the head stones. Illustration is my thing, not photography, but the concept of composition still applies. however, I'm not completely sure I'm pointing you in the right direction with this photo. I would suggest reading some books on composition and cinematography.

[raddimus]

hey try looking at your crop and then my pic I don't see much difference in brightness. but I see what your saying thanks for the critiszm again.

Personally.. it looks like just random pictures you've taken.. and then your rationalization of it being art to fit into this topic.. but.. what do I know.. I don't do art.

Uhhh Sora?? That place looks unsafe for kids to play...

It had been maintained untill it was permanently closen in 1990.
The tower was taken down due to complaints from citizens that they can't stand looking at the symbol of the future (It's the Expo Tower, A symbol of Expo '70) dying miserably.

When I was a kid, it was already worn enough. But those pictures (probably took just before demolition) made me realized "the end of the ('70s) future". I like the view of ghost towns. It's sad, but beautiful, and reminds me of the transience of our civilization.

Interestingly, some artists recycled its parts! http://www.yanobe.com/aw/aw_tower_of_life.html

Actually I purposely took what I consider to be artistic pictures.I didn't just post these up and say hey I'll give them a back story.Even if that haden't been my house. In the other photos I actually took two shots if you noticed.I'm capable of taking a fair pic.but I wanted to show a contrast that life tends to take. Not sure if you read what I posted while looking at my pictures,but I didn't just realize these were artistically looking or taken pictures. I know I'm no ansel adams but for an amature I like to think I can take an allright pic.but like you what do I know.

Now THIS is what I call ART!!!! heh heh.. Silverstreak and Smokescreen at it...

And here's another one!

And here's Smokescreen vs Sunstreaker. heh heh heh

[elemental fantasy]

Man, Uraydo, you can be my story board artist any day. Great stuff.

Raddimus, dont take it wrong, but there is absolutely no artistic value in your photo's. Though I like the tree photo, still, there is no artistic value...

A lil Bay style Armageddon never hurts when added to photos.

Should have made one of the blasts hit the tree in the center... That'd give ya more of a focus point.

less is more

[raddimus]

lmao,thats pretty cool elemental. Hey don't take it the wrong way but I don't think you understand photography, or it's artistic value. Hey thanks ury, for all the critisizm though on the pics I'll give some others the shot at posting there art. And yhea you do great jobs on airplanes

[Smokescreen_5]

Not always.. With the additions you made.. albeit interesting.. it appears as if everything is happening in the distance... as if its not really happening. If you brought it closer into the picture, then it'd appear more realistic.

A drawing I did on a online drawing board of Prime.

I also do some photography, I'm going to finally get a digital SLR this year and get into photography more, maybe get a job for it. Anyway here's the latest one I took with my Sony Cybershot that took me a good half an hour to set up because I got Megatron to stand freely on his own.

you know, there is such a thing as a long shot. don't be so eager to throw stuff in the views face.

looking at this picture again, I don't really mind all the open space at the top.

I absolutely love this picture. so funny.

[elemental fantasy]

Well, I actually did that in 5 minutes, hence, all the flares are around the same size, as well, vapor trails dont differ too much, I was gonna add one hitting and crashing through a telephone poll in the for ground, but didnt wanna spend 30 minutes on it, so it was a rough 5 min funny throw together, Raddimus, thanks for bein a good sport.

I'll spend a lil more time on it tomorrow and change it up for the heck of it...

EDIT:Ellensama, cool stuff, really, please share more when you can---sorry about the bold.....

I realize theres such a thing called a long shot even though I don't do photography.. funny how I know a little bit about this and don't really even care.. I'm simply stating that if meteorites were falling.. they wouldn't just all fall in the distance. They don't all just land in the same spot.. unless its Transformers falling from space.. even they didn't land in the same spot.. they all crashed in different places. In the picture the meteorites all appear to crash in the background. The picture is supposed to give off a sense of realism.. not a sense of.. oh yeah.. someone photoshopped a bunch of flames in.. if you feel this has been thrown in your face.. thats your own deal. make it better than.

my point is I like it the way it is. We get a sense of place and of action. if you want them to land further apart, then why not farther in the background? Also, they could land close together. especially if they were one object that broke up in the atmosphere. also, Trying to make a point of logic by referring to the Transformer movie, isn't really a smart move. how much air time did that M1 Abram get?

Isn't a smart move? uhh.. dude... listen to yourself.. . duhh.. falling meterorites.. falling transformers.. both creating a flame trail behind them, both falling to earth.. how is that not a smart move. who cares about the M1 Abram. That has nothing to do with things falling from the sky. Stay on track.
