Random Set of Photos

[Fuzakeru]

First off, I don't have the best camera in the world ( its a point and shoot but I do love it! ) and I've never had any classes but I've always liked taking pictures. I do edit the photos in photoshop. ( I cheat ) So here's some pictures I've taken... look at them.... or something.

Its a steering wheel on some old playground equipment I used to play on when I was young.

I just liked the shapes I saw in these. -shrug-

I got crazy with the sharpening tool but man.... I wish those were big blankets. They look so comfy!

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm302/FuzakeruGraphics/FallenGiant.jpg
I like how it looks like a tree but it's not! It's a branch and only about the size of a leg!

[Rantz]

Wonderful!

[scrumpleberry]

These are pretty!

[Rye]

Steph, I had no idea what the photographer you are! You have really great perspective, and they all look much better than point & shoot pics! Wonderful!

[Fuzakeru]

Wow! Thank you so much Rantzien and Scrumple. n_n It means so much to have people comment!

Jess! NO WAI. @_@ I've looked up to your photography for so long! To have you say it looks nicer than silly point and shoot is remarkable to me! -flails-

Oh, if anyone is interested - Here is my DeviantArt LadySt3ph on deviantART (http://ladyst3ph.deviantart.com/)
Watch me and I'll watch youuuu~ = 3=

[rubah]

they're wonderful <3

[DK]

I am not very arty or anything so I probably can't give you any useful critique or anything like that I just wanted to post and say awesome imho. Especially these last ones, love the first and third ones in your last post but all the pictures look good to me

[Rocket Edge]

You have a real talent for photography. Your angles and eye for a good photo are excellent. Ever think about going into it professionally?

[Fuzakeru]

Thanks, DK. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. n_n

Rocket, uhm. Oh man. You have no idea how much I'd love to. I sorta want to go in to Graphic Design so I can at least use my photographs or my love of persepctive in something 'artsy'.

[Breine]

The one with the glasses, the third beach picture and the broken beer bottle are the best imo.

They're all pretty good, though.


Have you thought about photographing people, e.g. portraits, situations etc.?

[Fuzakeru]

I haven't tried people yet. Lol. Here's some more pictures I've done recently-ish so behind the spoiler tag it gets pretty image heavy -

Twisty Turny Viney Thingy by ~LadySt3ph on deviantART (http://ladyst3ph.deviantart.com/art/Twisty-Turny-Viney-Thingy-145243354)
and
Decorated Sidewalks by ~LadySt3ph on deviantART (http://ladyst3ph.deviantart.com/art/Decorated-Sidewalks-145242010)
are my two favorites as of late. n_n I'm actually pretty proud of those two.

LadySt3ph's Gallery (http://ladyst3ph.deviantart.com/gallery/) <~ My gallery is there.

[scrumpleberry]

Um okay why are people not paying you money to do this yet. Jesus! These are seriously beautiful :heart:

[I Took the Red Pill]

Wow those are all fucking sweet. My favorites are the broken beer bottle, the dead butterfly, and the rainy window.

[Quindiana Jones]

I've seen professional man-made-rich-from-it photography that's of a lower calibre than some of these. I'm not going to go all out and say I love them all - in fact, I think some of them aren't very good at all. However, almost all are good, and maybe a third or so are geniunely brilliant.

Regardless of my personal tastes, the fact remains that you do, as Rocket Edge said, have a great eye for scenes and angles. Every one of your photos here prove that. It's definitely something you should consider pursuing.

[Fuzakeru]

Um okay why are people not paying you money to do this yet. Jesus! These are seriously beautiful :heart:


Wow those are all smurfing sweet. My favorites are the broken beer bottle, the dead butterfly, and the rainy window.

-BLUSH- I don't know. Someone did pass along some of my pictures to someone on FB though and I got invited to this photography graphic artist thing on Tuesday and they wanted to talk and meet me. I guess I'll see if that goes anywhere but I don't have enough knowledge in the field to be a professional, imho. Thankssss though! <3 This encourages me to keep it up as a hobby for sure! n_n

Quin, I truly appreciate your honesty! Harsh critique is sometimes the hardest to swallow but I find it helpful and I sincerely take to heart the compliments in there. You're also very encouraging!

[Fuzakeru]

Here's a few recent pictures. I have so many to edit. -_- I will NEVER catch up!

Any comments made are appreciated. Love it? Hate it? Eh? Whatever. n_n Thanks for viewing!

[scrumpleberry]

I like the first and the last best in this series, although I feel like the last could be cropped differently to be more effective. Your watermark is really unusual!

[Fuzakeru]

Thanks! I'm too lazy to use the same watermark. >_> I just filter through my different fonts and overlay it. Haha! -failure-

Y'know, I played with cropping the last one so it was tall and skinnier but it always felt like it lost some of the sparkle to the water drops when I took out some of the dark background. :/ I'm not 100% happy with it still. I'll probably go back and play with it later. ..... okay, I probably won't. I'm lazy. :< Lol!

This one is supreme!

[Jirito]

They are pretty good! :D Love the pine cones and everything with blue skies....

[Moon Rabbits]

Wow lady, you're good.

[Rantz]

Brilliant as always, Steph! :D

[Rye]

Really nice, Steph! :jess:

[Fuzakeru]

So it's that time of year when all the C/O ____ kids graduate and my brother happens to be part of the 2010 variety! I'm so proud of him! His senior friends and he needed pictures to put on their group project so we went out to the mall today and I offered to take pictures and liven them up. Here's how they turned out - ( Keep in mind that having 17/18 year old boys focus on making 'nice' faces and staying still so they didn't blur out with my clumsy point and shoot was a feat I did NOT successfully accomplish. LOL! I did the best I could! )

[Jessweeee♪]

Wow these are really amazing. You should be a professional. GO DO IT NOW.

I really like your beach photos. They make me actually want to go to the beach.

[Freya]

Holy crap! You're really good at this. And you never took classes or anything? Nice. I'm very impressed by you natural skill.

[Fuzakeru]

You have no idea how much I'd LOVE to do this stuff professionally, guys. x_x I really do! I thought about starting a site where I do the photo editing and charge like $____ for this effect or for that. Like, them e-mail me the picture. I send them an estimate. They throw me ideas and thoughts. Me edit. Me send a preview to them with a big watermark. If they like it, they paypal and I send them the unmarked version. I've seen another site do this but he wasn't too good at it. :/

And nah, no classes for me. :< I considered going to school for it though.

[Fuzakeru]

Posting again cause I took more shots of my brother~ I have some other pictures too but I wanted to share these ones since it involves people... well, a person. Yay graduation photos continue!

[Rantz]

Nice as always ;) I really like the ones by the old school bus. And this one:


http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/Fuzakeru/nICHOLASSENIORRELAX2.jpg

On a sidenote - it typically gives the picture a more gloomy mood when the person looks down. Especially for graduation photos and the like, there may be a lot of symbolic value in the subject looking ahead or even slightly up. Just a thought!

[Fuzakeru]

Yeah. I like that one of him a lot. The problem with my brother is that I can't get him to 'pose' in any particular fashion. He has ADHD pretty bad and even on medication he gets twitchy and it's hard for him to sit still and Aspergers Syndrome so he feels really awkward out in public and even more so in front of the camera.

I had this one picture of him standing with his back against a rusted street lamp where half of the downtown area is under construction behind him but around him was all new buildings and not ONE person was anywhere walking by. It was SUCH A COOL SHOT but he was smiling in all of the pictures from that spot and it looked so forced that it just killed the entire thing. So I just had to constantly help him to relax and he's like 6'3 or 6'4 so relaxed for him is usually looking down and a bit slumped. I don't know why cause I think he's quite the handsome guy. I had to keep getting him to stand up straight or sit up without looking like it was military school. It was a very 'patient-filled' experience. Though that's one thing my brother always does - he teaches me constant patience.

Thanks, Rantz! <3 Your commenting makes me super happy. :love:

Also, I went out yesterday and got a few shots of an orange / yellow rose lying on the shoreline of the beach. They turned out pretty but I have to get those edited first. x_x

[Rantz]

Niiiice. I would kill for one of those muffins right now *_*

[Fuzakeru]

They're chocolate banana muffin brownies with dark chocolate syrup and they were chilled. <3 I put little almond nuts on top after I took the picture and forgot to take another.

[Fuzakeru]

Been a loooong time since I've posted anything. Figured I'd post something now. :D I took these three today. I'm pretty happy with them. I'm feeling less PRETTY COLORS and more.... abandoned buildings or something. I 'unno.
