Ok, so almost a week ago, I promised some pictures from that night. I'm finally posting them. I will post a more meaningful update on shit that's happened this week later/tomorrow in a F-locked post! :)

You are quite good with a camera, Jazzer. :)

These picture are AMAZING!!!

jazzsaxgod February 24 2009, 00:50:17 UTC

I'm glad you like, although I wouldn't go as far as to say they were AMAZING! :)

Your pictures aren't working for me. Can't see them.

jazzsaxgod February 24 2009, 00:43:41 UTC

They're up now :)

I did click the link to your Facebook though. You take great pictures.

Yeah, Boomspeed went down the day I finally updated them. :S

They're back now in their full glory! :)

Thanks!

Thank you ^^

Those sure are some nice clouds :P

I like your photos. I especially like this one and this one. I also enjoy this one except for a little round plaque or something in the bottom left corner that distracts me, but you know I am picky :D Lovely stuff overall.

jazzsaxgod February 24 2009, 00:39:24 UTC

Now that I've noticed that plaque, it's bugging the hell out of me. Haha, I knew I should have shown you the rest of them first, but then there would have been no surprises! :)

Feel free to critique and give suggestions for improvements. I will be going out and taking more soon, although day shots this time and experimenting with long exposures with water.

Sorry :D They are all pretty good, I think. Some of the angles are a little too weird for me (this one in particular, but I am also a big fan of symmetry so that is probably throwing off my perception of that one) and the last one and the traffic one are both a bit too cluttery but their colors and concepts are good.

I look forward to seeing the water pictures! Those sound interesting.

jazzsaxgod February 24 2009, 01:07:44 UTC

Don't apologise, I prefer criticism, especially constructed. You always point out the things that would bother me too, and it helps me notice more and improve. Which is what I wish to do.

I loathe symmetry in photography. It's rare you'll see me do symmetrical images. It's the only time the subject should be centred, and I much prefer odd compositions, crazy angles and hyper-realistic contrast. It's probably from when I worked at Venture. They definitely rubbed off on me. I don't do standard shots often, except landscape occasionally :)

Yeah, the clutter bothers me as well... but in those images, it's not about a single focal point. I'm hoping those images encourage people to explore the picture and take their time to see everything in them.

Yeah, my aim is to get water blur much like this:
