Do You Like Photography?

[FatKidWitAJetPak]

If so, then what would you want to see a picture of? Im looking for some serious responses here, but hell this is the general forums so I cant stop anyone here from saying "Rina Chans Tits" or something.

Im going to be taking a lot of photos soon, and I would like a general idea of what the masses enjoy.

also the face that I put with this thread makes it look like a porn thread

[Jawd]

since I am stuck for inspiration i am going to steal these suggestions

[PeterM]

I like watching sunsets, so that would be a good one to get started with.

[camobch0]

I'm a semi-professional photographer. My job requires me to take a shitload of pictures of cars and races. However, the fun side of me fills my flickr up with all kinds of crazy stuff.

i love taking pictures of the sun rising or setting :)

[PoloPancake]

People in the city.
Sunsets.
Beautiful women.
Buildings and water.

Sounds nice.

[PenguinKommando]

Hahaha this is the most pretentious and stupid thread. "I'm going to be a major big deal photographer soon so I want to know what genpop a.k.a 'The Masses' want to see!"
It's not that people want to see your stupid pictures of something "beautiful". It's on you to make a good photograph that people will want to see. People pay about 30 seconds at most to an image on average, if you make another droll picture of some generic thing "the masses" said they want to see, you're going to be looked over.

He came here to ask for inspiration, not to parade some bullshit like becoming the next star photographer. Pull the stick out of your ass and go bother someone else.

the moon in the sky, sorry that is my only suggestion

The OP never mentioned that whatsoever, he merely asked for opinions on subject matter for some photos.

Everyone else has managed to contribute something to this thread apart from yourself.

Thanks for suggestions guys, keep em coming! I love taking a lot of abstract pictures. BTW those car photos are great!

Here are some photos I took earlier this year.

[HungarianSupermarket]

Take a photo of your camera taking a photo of your camera taking a photo of itself.

[Quinny]

I have a friend who's a photogragher. Her camera and lenses were a fortune. She's got a degree in it as well so she knows her shit.

[LoliTastic]

I like beaches

And Rina-Chan's tits

[peno1]

Explosions, Atleast thats what my attention span currently wants

Those are very impressive! I love the collage as well. Do you use a wide lens for that?

Top I dislike and the lens flare in the bottom one is really distacting but there is some great tone going on in the middle one. Ever tried doing any 360 degree panoramas? Sure, they have been done to death on flickr lately but they are heaps of fun to make.
Not my photo, just an example.

Standard lens. I use a program to stitch multiple photos together. My biggest yet used 200 photos.

Yeah. Middle ones one of my favs. It's a massive duststorm that hit Aus last year. Ive done some 360 photography but they usually stay on the one plain, like the panoramas

[FatKidWitAJetPak]

I have never tried a 360 view before, but that sounds like a fantastic idea. I will try various methods and start experimenting with them.

As for love landscapes like the one pictured above, here is one that I did a few months ago:

Large View *Please see the full view lol Ng has a crappy image size*

Its not a bad photo, but it would look a lot better if it was rotated a little so the horizon line was well, horizontal. Also if you cropped out a bit of the foreground so it would fit with the rule of thirds.

[Lakistym]

I like cloudy skies...

[Damien]

I studied photography in high school and what is this?

Ah the rule of thirds! I had a photography class and actually paid attention to that rule. I do, however, enjoy taking photos that dont necessarily follow a guideline, but are taken in the moment of things, as if from a glimpse of a memory.

This storm photo, for example, is kind of all over the place. However, it sets a certain memory like mood that I really enjoy capturing.

Full View *full view please full view!*

Photography doesn't often require much talent if you're in the right place at the right time with a camera. Come up with your own ideas. Look around.

[Ericho]

When I first got a camera, I wanted to take a picture of every single thing in sight, but after awhile, I got more onto the Internet and everything like that. If I wanted to take any pictures, I would take pictures of cats. I actually do kind of still take pictures with my digital camera that I bought myself. It works better than most cameras anyway. If only I could find a way to reduce that static sound it has whenever I record footage.

Based on what I've seen of your work, Im going to suggest you find mechanical subjects to get relatively close to mid shots of. Things like closeups on details of the backside of a train, gears and springs in a clock, that sort of thing.

Also, work on getting a good exposure.
After you do that for a while, you can graduate on to photographing tittybitches, like I do.

By the way, FatKidWitAJetPak, this is your Theme song!

I first read the title as "do you like pornography", which I would have replied to as yes... Photography is good too I suppose.
