Amateur seeking feed back

[vayne108]

Hi, I'n new to photo and I really enjoy it. The only problem I'm not sure if I'm no good, ok, what up or what's down when it comes to photography. But I do have an art background and I have a few photo friends in my art college that have influenced me. So when I take a shot I try to draw from my art experience no capture my visions thru the camera lens instead with a pencil.

#1. Out of place.

#2. Differantance in harmony.

#3. Fallen

#5. In a row.

I personally like your - #1. Out of place photo and I really don't think it's out of place to me, because the colors is nice and goes well in my opinion. As for photo #3. Fallen -- it's kind of nice but I seems to unable to adjust to the heavy reddish and yellowish contrast, I assume that's just a matter of my personal taste. The rest I can't really get a grip on somehow. Anyway, these is just my amateur thoughts here and cheers for the day ... ...

Thanks, and yeah, I probably should have contrasted the colors in fallen. My thinking was that the focal point stood out enough without doing it, but Now I'm having second thoughts.

OK, here are some updates:

#1. Toph in a Box: this was taken a while ago with a cannon powershot G9. Unfortunately, I knew allot less about photography then and didn't adjust the iso and now the photo is very noisy. BUt I thought it is a cute photo so I decided to share it with you.

NOTE: Every photo below this point was taken with my cell phone a black berry curve 8330 with a built in 3.2 megapixel camera. I don't own my own camera but I can rent cannon powershot G9 from my school for free. so I ended up taking these with the only camera I had on me at the time.

#2. Sepia angel: This my cat angel just hanging out on the autumn in our living room.

#3. Sepia angel #2 - portrait: My cat Angel agin !!! I just had to take a photo of his adorable face.

#4 - #6. into the light #1-3: I was experimenting/praciting abstraction and composition with these shots. I'm not completely sure if I was successful.

Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Shot Below taken with a cannon G9 power shot.

#1-2. Street lights v1-2:
It is quite funny, how i learned to do this. I was watching a show on ufo's. and they were investigating photos of suspected ufo's. They appeared as streaks across the sky, in lines of light. It was explained that the streaks, were just normal aircraft, and the cameras, could catch the movement of the planes, Because of the frame rate. So the streaks people were picking were actually lights on air planes.

So on the way home from campus, I wondered if I could apply that concept to the street lights. To get the effect that I wanted I wagged the camera up and down, to increase the effect.

#3. Dash:
