Photographic experimentation

[meccahi]

And other such permutations...

Hrmm.. I really should take a photography class.. along with a few million other classes of things I want to learn...
These are 3 images I was playing around with today.. I think with the program I have, and my limited skill that this is the best they're going to get sadly.
I really need to learn more..




First one I tried my damndest to make look like a sort of Maxfield Parrish painting. It's not what I'd like it to be.. but in comparison to the original photo it's miles improved..





An Experiment with OverExposure..




I actually kinda like this one...



Hopefully this week I'll get a few people over to take pictures of them in chainmail.. I really need to get cracking with better photos..and cataloging all of my designs and pricing them out properly and blah blah blah.. in other words... I need to get off of my ass and get things done.

I must say... hurray for caffeine.

For what it's worth? You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't develop this talent. I think you have a great eye and a strong artistic sense. I know photographers without this level of creativity who are professionals.

Huh..Thank you!.. I'm gonna get all sorts of blushy now..Grin..

I really do need to take some classes... I would like to know what the heck I'm doing instead of just dinking around with the photo program I have.. I want to develop what I know and maybe at some point use it as a side job when I'm not doing chainmail...

Do it. For one thing, taking super artsy photos of your stock is never a bad thing. It'll make your catalogue all profesional lookin' and that's always good.
