I took a couple photography classes last semester, so my opinion *might* count for something right?

I just looked at the first 4 pics, and from what I can see, you've got an eye that definitely shows promise, but the lighting is off. Most of the pics are too dark to *really* see what's going on, but your composition isn't all too bad. You just need to know how to shoot, and that comes with practice. I'd try and familiarize yourself with Photoshop so you can take your photos in there and play around with the light/dark and color balance to get everything *just* right. Plus you can do just about anything with PS, like touch-up a photo or make it as insane as possible with all the filters they have to chose from.

Other than that, keep doin' what your doing, and learning as much as possible along the way, and see where you want to go with your talent. ~

COMPOSITION, COMPOSITION, COMPOSITION. I'm sorry, but i am going to have to agree with your teacher on that one. Most of you shots look underexposed, and hence the darkness. I have a couple friends who are into photography, while im more interested in film, and graphics. One thing about movies is that you never wanna film just something in the middle of the screen, its more appealing to have it off to one side, and have something else in the shot help balance it out. The same goes for photog, dont just plop something in the middle of a shot and expect it to look good, mess with stuff and move it around until you find an angle/position that you like, and looks interesting. Dont try to be artsy and just take a picture you think will look good. heres some help go to www.skateperception.com and go to the forums and go to photography and just look around and read some of the stuff, some of the guys on there are incredibly good. Good luck with photography, and i hope i didnt sound like an ass. :rasta:

Thanks guys, The two last ones are basically the only ones she's realy liked (Thats why they are 8x10). Also I am extremely familiar with photoshop, it's just my computer sucks ass and if I use the computers in the photography room she tries to constantly tell me I should colorize the photo and people will sit there and look over your shoulder and I hate that

Lol, I hate that too, when you're trying to work and someone's breathing over your shoulder. But if I were you, I'd always try and take a photo into PS before printing it. If you already do that, wonderful, but if not, it's definitely a good idea as I was taught this from a very knowledgeable instructor.

And I really like that first 8x10 from the tunnel. Save that for your portfolio if you plan on making a living at this. Props. ~

I've given some serious thought into becoming a photographer, ALso I, so far, have fallen in love with the film process (developing and everything and when I said print, I didn't mean that those are digital and printed from a computer those are all enlargments from my negatives that I did the entire process myself from developing the roll of film to developing the "print"
