wow cool i dea but a lil creepy now i want you to take pics of all the hot girls

samblaze · 02-18-08, 04:49 PM

A little stalkerish, but not bad! No hot girls walking by eh? I do like the pic of the Legend in that parking row! The branches give it a cool texture.

AustinForester · 02-18-08, 05:23 PM

ok, im gonna be a little harsh here. but im not seeing what your trying to do here. none of them came out artistic, just like others have pointed out, kinda stalkerish.

sorry man, dont take it too hard, im just not feeling these. they are just creepy

Ok. I'm getting some pretty unanimously negative feedback. I purposely didn't write anything in the first post to see what everyones first responses were. Let me explain what I was trying to do and you can bounce some more feedback at me, even if its still all negative.

I didn't just want to stalk people. I wanted to take the photos in a way that made it seem like the photo was taken from a claustrophobic space that the viewer had to peer out of to see anything. I made sure to be zoomed out enough to make blinds visible across the photo or to make the window and surrounding objects frame my photo. Yes these photos are a bit creepy but I think they have solid artistic value. I did a good bit of tweaking in photoshop making the contrast greater and adjusting the tint so that these would come off even a bit creepier than they were originally.

So having explained my reasoning, what do you think now?

ATLfoKuS · 02-18-08, 06:34 PM

cant say that i'm feeling any of em man, sorry.

samblaze · 02-18-08, 06:34 PM

Hmm, methinks the title is a little confusing then. Makes the person in the pic the subject (as in they are not alone). Or at least that's how I interpreted it. Were you meaning to imply that the viewer in the claustrophobic space is not alone?

I guess the answer for that question is on the topic, am I right? lol Coll pics, but now I feel like not going outside of my house lol.

i wouldnt consider these stalker pictures as much as candid pictures. to me stalker pictures would be if you followed a person around campus and took multiple pictures of them with out them knowing.

when i got my new digital camera, i enjoyed taking this same type of candid shot b/c i was trying out my 10x digital zoom from the 3rd floor.

i think the pictures are cool, but could be clearer, and i have no advise on how to do that.

STALKER! those arent art pics, just wierd, funny part is, if they were looking, i bet they could see you.

Cranberry_Legend · 02-19-08, 09:44 AM

The title "You're not alone" will make anyone think stalker

...However, you did suceed in your creepier goal.

I meant that the people walking past my window weren't alone. Theres pretty much nothing I can do about the lack of clarity. ISO was pretty high to ensure a shake free photo and the window's screen really ate the quality away. If nothing else, at least you guys appreciate how creepy I managed to make these.
