The ArtyFarty Photo thread

I thought we could have a seperate thread for photographic art.

you'd be surprised id by who can make it as a pro.

Your pics are great, you have the rule of thirds down pat

an eye for creativity (seeing the shot in different light)

You dont need the top of the range camera to be able to sell your pics and we are our own worse enemy as a critic.

Some people can take great shots other take good snaps. there is a difference.

Get an editing program if you dont already have one. That takes a great pic to outstanding.

I struggled with that but then every pic you buy has been edited. Nothing is ever sold raw

I agree, ID your photos of the dogs are very good, some are excellent. Animals are not easy to photograph, my dog never sits still long enough for me, but you obviously have a skill with them. I'm not surprised that you've had some of them used in other media and I'm glad that you've been asked first, nothing worse than picking something up and seeing your photo being used that you didn't know anything about 😐

The easy way is dropbox.com

You need to set up an account but it's an easy setup and you can set it to auto upload from phone.  Once registered you d/l a folder to desktop and the uploaded photos will appear in desk top folder then drag and drop to wherever you want or via file menu the same as other files. 

I love drop box because it shares the photos over all the devices without me doing anything.

you get 2GB free and can get extra by sharing links http://db.tt/6FXeCvL1 for other people to sign up through

Exactly. ID-Pending, these days all the best pics have been 'photoshopped' . My niece has just completed a double degree at uni, majoring in photography and graphic arts. She sets up her shots but doesn't seem to take a lot of care re aperture settings and such, she fixes it on the computer later.

I think your photos are fabulous.

Lovely pics !!

love the clouds in the pic of Denmark and the colour of the orchids?

the lorikeets on the birdbath looks really good I think.

Where is the koi pic from dsk ? never seen so many!

Is that a type of fungi ducky? At first I thought it was soft coral.

More please 😄

It is a fungi Soul......as I was walking through the Bunya forest a ray of sun hit it and lit it up like a fairy castle...

Soul, that is breathtaking! Is that mist or blowing sand?

Lucky you ducky, must have a lovely day.  So many beautiful things grow but we don't really see them unless a pic is taken, then all the little details are amazing.  Do you have any more ?
