Devin - Skate

[Jabuuty671]

I just really liked this picture from Friday when I was out skating with some friends.
I was playing around with it.

Now give me real criticism that can sink through my mind and give a thorough or at least sufficient explanation on what i can do, don't be a dumbass.

I really don't know the tri-photo thing under the text, I just keep seeing it and thought i'd try it.

Yea yea, arial font, fail shading, layered fractal image, whatever

I didnt edit the picture itself, just added the arrows, the fractal, the text, and everything else
the picture was like that when I took it.

I'd like to see more along the lines of those arrows.
Burn the edges, dodge the middle (a tiny bit), and sharpen the focal, and it should be good.

T_T i don't understand Photoshopspeak.

[serpentine]

you should

Needs more light and depth

u need to think about ur compo
especially of ur photo
rule of thirds is 10x more important
as well there are lines and vectors, plus the golden swirl

[Jabuuty671]

I haven't taken tutorials on photoshopping or picture taking
i really don't know what you're saying....

[Scrcrw VIII]

then tbh ur gonna go no where

[Jabuuty671]

Never said I didn't want to.
I'm just too bus to spend time reading stuff because i have school work, and minioning to worry about.
Not to forget hanging out with friends and cleaning up my house.

u read something in 5 mins
take shots when u can
just have ur camera with me
srsly atm ive got school, moving house and packing and my life, plus playing CF
so what do i do
try and have my camera with me and make some time for photography
5 mins to read any new lessons in the academy
there is no point buying a nice slr and not learning how to use it

It's the family camera, we've had it for almost 2 years+
it's pretty old.
I just started using it last week because my brother was hogging it for his band shows and when he went to the skate park / clubbing or just hanging out at parties.
so i don't know.

If i have to read tutorials and such, they better have some definitions with them / explanations
I don't take the camera everywhere, especially not at school
only on special days, as im the historian for a club (pictures / video / etc
