QUOTE(bad-and-ugly @ Oct 9 2006, 03:03 AM)  Hello everyone I'm a photography student in college, I post my pictures here -> http://flickr.com/photos/bad-and-ugly/ Check it out when you have the time, and tell me what you think '=) Nice pics friend! But pics are having some strange colors!  Is it the problem with camera or did you applied some effects to those pictures?? 
Thank you, I'm glad you liked them '=) The photographs on page one were made with coloured flash, that's why they're pink (except for the one that's yellow) and the photographs on page 2 were made either under fluorescent light (green) or incandescent light (yellow). When I was going to correct the colours of the pictures in page 2, I decided to play a little bit '=)
Sorry, I don't really like most of them. This is a kind of art some people appreciate.
Unfortunately I don't.
It's alright '=)
I'm mostly into portraits, but enjoy other things too. I'm not so much into nature and landscapes, I prefer architecture; but I love landscapes show with infrared film '=)
Are you guys familiar with that website Flickr.com?
There are some amateur photo contests out there that you can enter if you are a hobbyist photographer and you can win some cool prizes.
I entered one recently and was pleased with becoming a semi-finalist. Gin
Flickr is really cool because it's not only a place to store and showcase your photos, it's also a network of photographers and "collections" of pictures. There are many groups there, you can join them and post pictures from your photostream in the group. I can't really explaing it in English, but if you produce a lot of images, you should give it a try ;-)
I know of one amateur photo contest which seems cool, they have many different themes. It's at www.jpgmag.com
Your pictures are interesting...it's true that on some of the pictures the color tone is a bit weird, but for the most part, it adds this really warm feeling to it. In other words, on some pics that camera effect turned out well, while on other pics not so much. For instance, I think the effect works well on 'Caroleta' but not so much on 'Lipcia'. Anyways, just my two cents.
Btw, yeah, Flickr is really nice. I like how it automatically resizes your photos and doesn't add random borders/ads on them unlike some image hosting services do. Of course, the only downside is that every image must include a link to Flickr. =( Latest Entries

Ugh! .. I really had to see your photos to make a post count for myself.
Just Kidding.. The photos look great and the lightings effects were strange. QUOTE(bad-and-ugly @ Oct 17 2006, 06:15 PM) It's funny that you mention that is hard photographing people who don't look very good, and other people on this board have agreed with you. I don't even think of it as a challenge, for me it is indifferent wether the subect of the portrait is beautiful or not. Well, bad-and-ugly I'm with you in this! I really don't care what conventional photography books say. I really believe that exceptional portraits can be taken with any Individual. Most of the award winning Human Portraits I have come across had ordinary, common men/women on them. I find your photographs extremely interesting. Simply because you're trying something different. Different than most other photographers I've come across. Putting candy paper on the flash was quite innovative(May be many people use it; I'm not aware of ity though;-) Also the angles and postures in which you've captured the snaps were quite innovative. And yes, I think the models(Just a term for the people who appear on your portraits) you had were really great. They had given pretty good poses. Most of them were very cheerful. That's enough to make a snap look great. I didn't really find that pink colouring great. But on some of the snaps of Viviani it looks cool. I went through 6 pages.... They were all quite innovative. There are million photographers who follow conventions, very few who are innovative. Be glad you belong to minority! I'm sure with time your abilities will only refine and you move further towards perfection. All the best mate!
This is pretty cool. I noticed that most of them are of people (looks like friends of yours) smiling or laughing. I would like to see more varied emotions and backgrounds.
Sorry if you have lots of other different stuff, I wasn't about to click through 50 pages of photos  Also, I understand that the color flash is a style, but it would also be cool to see black and white, or less saturated color. Just a thought. Really good overall!
Hey seec77 '=)
It's funny that you mention that is hard photographing people who don't look very good, and other people on this board have agreed with you. I don't even think of it as a challenge, for me it is indifferent wether the subect of the portrait is beautiful or not. I did spend about 18 months photographing only beautiful men though. I went out on the streets and I photographed the strangers that caught my eye. That was very difficult not only because I felt shy but also because many times the guys looked really bad in the pictures. When I do portraits, I don't care if the person will look beautiful, but that was the whole point when photographing those men on the streets. I think in the end it's really all about the photographer, and not the models. On the other hand, you have no idea how easy it is to photograph Natasha '=) She is utterly beautiful, and she always looks DIFFERENT because she wears different clothes and makeup and everything... There are pictures of her with her teeth painted black, and even then she looks amazing. I'm glad you liked the photos of Orquestra Imperial, I was just learning how to photograph concerts. Too bad I stopped there, I still want and need to learn more '=/ Those recent pink photographs that I have been posting have very little to no digitized colours on them actually. I get to that tone only by putting pink candy wrapper in front of the flash! '=) It is a moment I have been going through for several weeks now, and I'm loving it! '=D I want to try different colours. Update -> well, I guess I can address this to everyone that posted, not only to seec77... Specially regarding the colours QUOTE(seec77 @ Oct 15 2006, 06:31 AM) Well, I gave it a brief overlooking because I'm not going to look at 200 pictures right now. (I'm at work :P) Obviously when you're dealing with portraits and people there are some factors which the photographer cannot control (I'm sorry, but I don't look like a model myself). Some of the people in your photos are just not aesthetic enough in my taste to allow the viewer an objective judgement of the art. That's the problem with portraits. Choosing to work with such a "controversial" subject requires great confidence, but it shows you have real passion towards your camera and subjects. I liked the photo of Vivi and Katoka a lot, as it shows, to my interpretation a "blurred" image of love and caring, along with the stream of lightning in the background, showing passion and lust. The image of Dandan is also quit appealing to my eyes. I liked the pictures of Renan, Mae and Natasha, as they are simplistic and set on a naturally beautiful backdrop. I think the picture that I liked best from the 5-6 pages I looked at was of Natasha and Vinicius on what appears to be a train. The very confident and outward personality of Natasha, clashing against the simpleton and partly unkept (but in a good way) look of Vinicius. The backdrop of seats gives the inclination of a journey, a sort of methaphore for the road the two have made in their supposed relationship (that's what the picture implies to me)... the road that brings them together from both sides of the world (and their opposite position on the personality spectrum). The pictures of the Orquestra Imperial really capture the essence of a lively performance. I know that as a performer myself, and it really brings me back to my band's show from a week ago. I can totally feel the surreal experience of being up on stage and doing your magic... all the while not really comprehending the situation. Performing is really something that makes you unaware of your actions, and lets your intuition propel you to give energetic and emotional shows. All in all, good work! In my eyes, I would appreciate a bit less "digitized" pictures, and a bit more simplistic and minimalistic portraits. Also, as in the picture of Dandan, let everyone emphasize their most aesthetic features (in reference to Dandan's eyes).
