Here's some photos I've taken and thought I'd share. I'll probably post some more at some point. Here's my Instagram too for anyone who wants it: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cityturtle/" rel="external nofollow">Julia (@cityturtle) • Instagram photos and videos</a>

These are great. I particularly like the ones of the nail sculpture, but that may be my love of minutiae coming out.


One thing I might suggest is a little closer attention to the contrast in a few of the black and white photos; there is a lovely amount of detail, and the shallow depth of field really works in their favour, but some of it gets lost in the sheer amount of mid-grey tones.

Thank you!


I'll definitely try to pay more attention to contrast. It's something I've always had trouble with. Hopefully learning to edit photos will help out too. Thank you for the advice by the way! It's nice to get feedback.

Wow, you're really good at close-ups with objects. I can't do those to save my life, I'm much more a landscape photographer. The way I see it is that photography should be presenting a new way of seeing beautiful things, or turning normal things beautiful. We're like explorers, almost.

Oh my goodness I am so horrible at landscapes, it's honestly painful. I agree with you on how you see photography. It's a really neat medium of art to work with, especially since it's capturing something technically forever. It's quite magical. Do you have a thread for your photos? I'd love to check them out!

I do have a thread (Photography - Resonant's (Mostly Landscape) Photography!), feel free to check it out.

I check it out! You've got a great eye for landscape photography! I can't wait to see what else you post.

 

[Tiny Turtle]

Here are some oldies from my Instagram that I'm still semi-proud of. Some of these are from 2014 and they all have Instagram filters on them, so please don't judge them too harshly! Plus only one was taken with an actual camera (the sunset one) (' )


Since we're on the topic of Instagram... here's mine

Aight so this is really not my best work but to be quite honest with you guys I'm just proud I managed to get my eyes to roll to the back of my head long enough to take this. I wanted to do something a little bit spooky because I live and breathe halloween all year round so here you go. I put it under a spoiler because it's a little bit like eye horror and yeah. If you're not a fan of eyes with only the whites showing feel free to ignore this one.

The nails are very cool, and very much on point. You totally nailed the angles of different objects!

I love how you manage to capture small details and make them so interesting, and the contrast and detail you get in your black and white photos is AMAZING!! How do you do it?? (I'm a wannabe photographer who's never gotten the hang of black and white...)

In getting good black and white photos, I find that the better ones have a lot of contrast. I tend to look for scenes where theres darker backgrounds and lighter subjects. It's nice to have different colours as well, so contrast in colours tends to lead to contrast in black and white photos. Of course also taking lots of photos and playing around with your camera settings is always good... and a couple filters too. Although in all honesty I'm also learning so I apologize that I can't give too great of advice.

So I went out and about today with a couple friends of mine for some Pho and it was super cheap. I got a small bowl for $7 and the bowl was massive. So massive I couldn't even finish it! If you're in Toronto and looking for a good place to eat I'd recommend you go to Pho Hung. Then we walked around a pretty major street in my city and had a generally good time. I went to a rock store and got so excited I started snapping a whole bunch of pictures but forgot to ask permission. The lady at the counter was pretty rude about it, but another lady who worked there was really nice and said it was okay. I apologized for taking the photos without permission but gosh. I wish she'd not been so mean about it. Anyways, I made sure I could post them too so here they all are!

I apologize that not all the pictures are up to par. I found it quite hard to take good pictures of the rocks, so they're a bit crap to be honest. But I'm still proud of some of them and that's what counts. I used Instagram filters on all of these, although if anyone else has any good suggestions for photo editing apps/software please let me know because I'd love to swap onto another editing app/software besides Instagram.

Beautiful.


The sharpness and colour intensity are fabulous in those mineral photos.


I think images 2, 4, 8 and 9 are the most successful; the variation in depth of field and stronger contrast give more concrete focal points, drawing the eye into the image for longer.

Thank you!


And yeah, I agree. I hope that in the future I might be able to go back and take some proper ones again, since some of them could really use some work. I did find though that the pictures came out better on Instagram when they were smaller and easier to take the whole view in, but that might just be a personal thing.

Here is a smaller update! There was a lil bit of steam from a thing that heated the window making it look like a rainy day. It was sorta raining out too though, which was nice. I like the rain even though I find it makes me quite sad.

These are very pretty, y'know.


Micros...


They're a nice way to look at the world, huh?


I'm not much for critiquing anything, let alone photography, sorry about that.

Thank you! I'm glad you like them.


It is quite nice, yeah. Small things are nice.


It's alright! Any feedback at all is really great since it lets me know how people are liking (or not liking) my work!

 

[Tiny Turtle]

So I decided to put a height restrict onto all my pictures, and I personally think that it now looks a lot less sloppy and far more nice, so I hope that this is a good improvement. Now you guys can see the whole image so yeah! Woo hoo!

 

[Tiny Turtle]

So, I took some photos at school today. They're not the best and the quality isn't great, but here they are. I think I'll stick to the small things since I can't nail the bigger ones. I'm posting all these even though I'm not too proud of them because I already put them on the Instagram and figured it would be nice to have some critiques here too.

The height restrictions were a great idea; they really make sure your work is seen correctly.


I would disagree about your reasons for sticking to the small things; if we find things difficult as artists, we need to take extra time with those. It's why I continue to push my own photography.


I can see what you mean about some of them being not quite there. I should clarify; I don't think any of your work is bad, only that some changes to choice of perspective or placement of focal point could make them spectacular.


Have you ever read or studied anything related to image making, either fine art, digital art or photography? Focal point, composition, scale, balance, form, that kind of thing.

Thank you, I'm glad it works more like this.


I suppose so. I'm one of those people who is a bit nervous getting out of the comfort zone, although I agree that I should.


Yeah. I've got quite a bit of work to do perspective wise. I'll do some experimenting and see what comes up.


I'm taking a photography class right now, although my teacher is less on the theory and more into the whole go out and do the thing. I do some side studying, although I admit this is mostly trial and error right now.
