My 365 Project Slideshow (First 184 Days)
I'm doing a 365 project for the 2011 year. I take a semi-self-portrait everyday! I've been posting my pics on facebook and recently shut it down because I felt I was spending too much time on facebook! So I'm moving my 365 here to my blogger! I have attached a slideshow of the photos I've taken before I moved here if you're interested! Cheers!

lol, it's awsome :D Creative. What does "semi-self" mean? Have someone to help?
ReplyDeletehey! thanks! Oh I say semi-self because it's not always just my face, I'm not always the focus of the picture. And there are a few that I collaborated with friends on so they did take the picture for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i figured it out after i saw all of your pics. I've just looked a few, but now i think i know the setting up of your photos. Really great, so creative, i can't write more positives about your project. :))
ReplyDeleteThat's what i miss about my photos. Something "living" in them. Just street, landscapes, sometimes flowers. I did the "GaGa project", with a fake GaGa. :D I liked it, 'cause we could play with the faces, show something which could be funny and everyone knows what is what.
So... I'm awaiting th rest of your 365. I'm trying to set up a studio for my remake of a Stephen King book. Sure, it'll be hard.
wow thank you so much! Yeah I've learned so much about being on both sides of the camera through this project. I always had trouble directing whenever I was doing portraits for people so this definitely helped me gain different perspectives on completing the picture from all angles. I feel lots of life from your photos! But I understand what you mean, there's something about the human expression that pulls through a picture that's hard to capture through landscapes and street photography. But I think you do a great job! Your pictures make me want to be there! The depth submerges my mind and makes me want to physically be submerged there as well! Send me links to your GaGa project! I can't wait to see the Stephen King remake! I will be following!
ReplyDeleteYup, the composition is the key to a good photo. And I think that different types of photographies want different compositions. Maybe there's my weakness, I tried myself almost all of them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know your works, what kind of photos have you take till now, but in portraits you've done well. And it's not just few kind words. :)
How long do you "direct" a picture? I mean how much time it takes when you say "yes, that's the right angle and composition!"
One of my friends said, that if I shouldn't wait, than just look around, search for the perfect point of view. And when I feel that the picture I see through the lenses is the most closest to me, then shoot it. Thats why I use manual program ant spotmetering. I wanted to ask, what kind of lenses do you have?
Thanks for your opinion about my photos. :) Yes, street photography is a very tough one, between the "it's-just-a-street-shot" and the "social-feeling" there's a very thin line. I think that to make a dead picture is more easier, than shoot a living one in the street. But there are a lot of living people.
I love the "impression photography". That type I want to practise, i mean that's the closest to me. But there's a long way.
Sorry about i wrote a lot about my plans. I like speaking. :D
The GaGa project is there: http://indafoto.hu/NGyuree/ledi_gaga_pesten_jart
All of my pictures are there: indafoto.hu/ngyuree
Sorry if you didn't understand something, Hungarians like "i'm-not-speaking-english", so I can't practise as much as I want. :(
I forgot... "Maybe there's my weakness, I tried myself almost all of them." Sometimes I don't know how to show something. With a wide angle persective, like a landscape, or should I shoot it with the fix50mm lens? That's why I think that the multiple types all-in-one was not the best for me. Only one in time, if then, the one is okay, then try the other.
ReplyDeleteI think focusing on your weaknesses is the funnest part of photography! There's no better feeling than capturing a picture that you always SUCKED at! haha I'm not very well equipped.. I just use a sony a350 and 35mm lens (which is right about ready to crap out) and a telephoto zoom lens. What do you shoot with? Oh no no! don't apologize, I love hearing other people's goals and plans with their photography. Just like the art, it's all about perspective! The more we gain the better photographers we can become! You definitely have depth down! I just looked over your gaga pics and they're great! Totally: "I don't give a f*** I'm gonna do what I want to do!" feeling. haha sorry if that wasn't what you were going for, but that's what I got! Yeah I haven't gotten too in depth with all the crazy equipment there is in photography. I still have lots lots lots to learn! Good luck with the impression photography! I'm sure you're going to pick it up and nail it soon enough!
ReplyDeleteMay I write a post about your 365? With a few (3-4-5) photos, of course, linked to your blog. You're a one from those who has to be shown. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, basic lens. I like them, you have to think over and over what you want to see in the frame or what you don't. Makes you learn to crop there, not at home in the Lightroom. I have a kitlens as well, 18-55 mm zoom, but I don't use it till I've got the 50mm f/1.8. With a Canon 350D body. It's neme is Rebel XT - if i remember well - in America.
Which kind of 35mm do you have? f/1.8 or f/1.4? Sometimes I miss the wider angle, the 50mm at my body's crop is about 80mm. So it takes pics with a "telephoto-feeling". :/
yeah, exactly that's what I want to say with the GaGa photos. :D I1m... there are only a few of the amateur photographers who want to see behind a photo. To find out what I wanted to say. Usually I get the critic: "Great pic! Wonderful colors (that's for a BW one, for example... :D)" and like these. I want a normal critic - i think everyone wants who doesn't give a shit about their own works. Who wants to do kind of "evolution" from a "tourist-photographer" to a higher level. What did u wrong? how to fix it? etc... So, yes, this is what I want to say with these pics, cause GaGa is an image with a massive advertisement. She wants to be sold. by any prize. that's my opinion. I'm happy you saw that. :)
I think, if anyone wants to express itself in photos, than he/she has to learn to speak once again. In a different language, of course. From the very zero. What a poetric sentence I wrote... :D:D
Yup, gain, and not copy. If you look aroud on indafoto... :D I began to crop my photos in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Within 3 days other 3 person did it as well. Higher contrast I began to use, the oters as well. Cropped in a black half-paspartu. Others the same:D But when I soot a flower, and the flower itself, the angle, the contrast, the crop is THE SAME, than it's a little disturbing...
I'm... maybe it's good that the others likes my photos, they feel like my pics are the closest to them, but not that way. Be creative, not copy. Everyone copies from others, but they have to transform it as their own. Into their own style. And noone can say: "this picture is exactly this-is-that". Sure, for example: i try to take one of your photos like you took it. If do it just for practising compositioning, etc, than it's okay. But if I show it as my own? Without the original? Not really. Maybe i'm good in it, maybe i can take a better picture than the original, but the picture won't be mine.
jeeeez... :D what a f***ing long comment :D:D
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you're saying about the re-creating of photos! I don't think it's bad to do, I think it's challenging and refreshing to see people mimic photos while, of course putting in their own interpretation and take on the picture! Yeah I have trouble with telephoto lenses, I like the wider angles haha lazy I guess! Of course you can write a post about my 365! It would be an honor! I would be featured on a professional's blog, how can I say no?!?
ReplyDeletehahh, professional... :D Good joke... :D I've just cought good moments in a good time. Do you know how many photos I throw into the trash? About 5 from 10. Something's missing. I told you that before.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, you say "professional", you, who can direct kind of compositions you do and you akting on them. Both sides you do the best. That's a pro thing, so just shutup... :D :D I've seen a few works like yours, but the most was boring with wrong crop, told nothing, etc.
Exactly, I didn't mean that about recreating. I meant, it's okay, if that's for practising, but not for publishing. Without any own "interpretation", or style-sign. But it's a long story, the hungarian amateur photographers' is a little group. The rest, I think, you know...
Would you drop me your mail adress? I would like to ask you about something. n.gyuree@gmail.com
ReplyDeletehahaha 5 from 10?? Sometimes I take 70-80 shots for a single day's picture! That's awful! haha you are definitely pro if 50% of your shots look that good!
ReplyDelete... :D And you cut the pictures into one. Lots of yours are 2-3-4-5-6in1. so the % is not the point. :p :D
ReplyDeleteAh... this is wise.. I should think twice before speaking out! haha Catching good moments in time, is a photographer's best gift, you are pro! :) haha
