My baby steps

[Etherday]

Looking for critique on some of my first photographs. I took them with my iphone and edited them in a way that I can express what I saw when I took them.

Most people won't click on the link to look at your photos, so you should show them in the post. But I would say my favorite is the black and white fire. The descriptions are very nice and creative!

Take a step back and distance yourself from these pictures.
They are perhaps meaningful to you because you are feeling something intense but that meaning is not in the picture.

And that is photography, capturing something in the frame that conveys an idea, an emotion or a sense to the viewer.
These are unfortunately, not well done technically and depend much too much on the title and some empathy with you.

The ones that lead to photos are not bad. They suffer from having cliched instagram-style effects put on them, but the cat and the tree are nice modestly moody photographs. I get what your captions are saying.

Without the captions, they would be much less interesting, though. They would be actually just sort of boring instagrammish crud, I suspect.

It's good that you're having ideas and taking pictures about those ideas, though. That's a fine start, keep at it. Having ideas and trying to execute those ideas puts you miles ahead of the crowd already.
