my first Teen Shoot c&c

[Petraio Prime]

Thats perfectly framed?

Unless she has one arm, id have to disagree.

Yes, look at her beautiful eyes and smile. That is what I wanted to show.

What I don't understand is why someone believes themselves to be a great photographer would take the time to upload 155 photos that are marginal at best and not 1 great one? I also don't understand how your great shots could be lost, yet some higher power saw fit to save the ones you grace the members of this board with?

I also enjoy how you link to photos that you think are wonderful, yet when others show you what is wrong with them, you offer excuse after excuse. The photos you have uploaded on your gallery are snap shots at best... of course this is coming from someone who freely admits that they are a beginner and have a lot to learn.

I also welcome the members of this board to point out the mistakes I am making with my images. I WANT to get better and to do so I need to learn from my mistakes, make adjustments and be polite and appreciative to those that take the time out of their day to offer advice.

My photography experience goes back to 1965, not last week. I have so much stuff that to scan it all would take forever and I'm not interested.

Yes, the photos I have posted here are basically candids taken this summer. I was not actively taking photos for the last couple of years because I had rotator cuff surgery and my camera bag is heavy, so I just waited until I got fully healed. I bought a lighter 180mm Elmarit-R to help reduce the weight as well. I deposited some of this summer's work here not for critique or to show off but simply to have it available online. I have a few nice ones as well as some duds.

I don't believe in criticizing someone that gives it their all at what they enjoy. People learn from their mistakes...that's what learning is all about. If you don't make mistakes...you can't get better. I liked the pictures, and yes...they did need some work with them, but maybe that is how you wanted the pictures to look too...i don't know. They did catch my attention, and I know that you will get better the more you work at it.
Good job, and good luck.

I agree, but in this case it seems to me there is more than mere 'mistakes', and I'm not saying this to be hurtful. Seeing photographically is not merely the absence of mistakes. The absence of mistakes is not sufficient to make a photo a good one.

And depending on the kind of work involved (PJ being the most prominent among them) minor flaws can be overlooked if the strength of the photo is sufficient. There is a difference between 'cosmetic' flaws and fundamental ones.

Robyn,

Legendary academy award winning screenwriter William Goldman once remarked of Hollywood: "Nobody knows anything." And on a certain level, it’s so true. Things the "experts" said would succeed fail and things the "experts" said would fail succeed. Having said that let me say this:

I’ve been in the arts for more than 30 years, 20 of those years were spent in New York City. Now I know, that doesn’t compare to the gold standard set by the creative community in Ohio, but I’ve worked with (and talked to) some pretty creative heavy hitters from numerous creative fields. One of the many things they taught me was this:

Where you are today as an artist is absolutely no indication where you will be as an artist tomorrow. Let me repeat that: Where you are today as an artist is absolutely no indication where you will be as an artist tomorrow.

Over the last three and a half decades I’ve spent in this business, I’ve seen the young and gifted end up as gas attendants. I’ve seen the written off end up as super stars. Creativity is a crazy business. Anything can happen and it usually does. Okay, I stole that line from the Mickey Mouse Club. I think Wednesday was Anything Can Happen Day. Or was Wednesday Discovery Day? Hmm…

Shoot what you want to shoot. Have fun! Surround yourself with positive people and don’t you dare let fools on the internet dictate to you what you are and what you should be.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to end this thread on that note!

Hell, it would just be wonderful to END THIS THREAD...

You cant shoot without taking your bag with you? I could lose both arms and I would still find away to play my Taylor. I guess you just dont have enough passion. If only you had the same amount of passion as you do for making up excuses. I find it hilarious that this entire forum has turned on you, and now you sit like a whiney coward whos bluff has been called. Really, you have been on this earth since prjor to 1965... I hadyou pegged at maybe 25. I think you are the Least-wise oldman I have ever met.

I still want to know why he and Bryce are here.

I never got a satisfactory answer.

Well if you are going someplace to take photos that is more than a few feet from your car and you need most of your lenses, yes you need to take your bag with you.

Why are most of your posts about other posters rather than the issues?

EDIT:
I think that people throwing around all the slang for breasts has not helped it search wise.

And I'll bet the people looking for hot teen photos were kinda' disappointed to find 17 pages of back and forth and a battle of photography forum members bashing one another, bashing the OP's first teen photo shoot's results, or defending a newbie poster's first teen shoot...

You are part of the issue at hand.
