LastChairMediaOkay then. That's the last time I post in this thread, I'm done with people like you who think you're better than everyone and can give me shit. I used to love Newschoolers, everyone was kind and respectful and grateful for this place we all call home and can interact with others who share our passion. You're the kind of Newschooler that makes me not like it. Thanks for ruining it. Peace.
If you can't handle criticism, then don't post it Sally.

Honestly, the second one is just not that good and the first one is just boring, poorly composed and dark.
I don't know how often you browse M&A, but if you are new, here is a simple guideline; The point of this thread is kinda to have your work critiqued, if you can't take any shade over your work, whether it's very harsh or it's put nicely, then just don't post. Also, I don't think Lawrence is being mean, he just has to maintain his pretentious reputation and use of hyper-specific obscure porn references.
You probably shouldn't stop posting you work here (or any other photo forum) if you want to improve

People like you are the ones who give "criticism" a negative connotation by degrading the entire practice of open critique for the sake of padding your fragile ego. What did you want, to be patted on the back for simply making an effort?
I'm going to tell you something you probably don't want to hear, and I swear I have nothing against you personally. I'm telling you this because many of us used to be like you, and we deeply regret it. Are you ready?
Suck it up.
You need to realize that criticism is your friend, and that compliments are dangerous.
"But criticism should be polite and civ" -- STOP. Criticism should not be palatable. It should hurt. The difference between "constructive criticism" and "being an asshole" is determined by your ability to man up and entertain the idea that people will shit on your work either silently or visibly, and that it's more conducive to your personal growth to get it out on the table rather than pretend it doesn't exist (or worse, dismiss them as "haters"). This one's on you.

If you can't handle that, you can't be an artist.
And to think I was just going to call him a pussy... #THESLOTHSHITTEDONYOU
erikKAll taken with the Fuji X100. Thing is an absolute beast that makes me want to sell all my DSLR shit and get the X-Pro2
Any particular reason? I've been looking at the X-Pro for a while now, but can't get past my extreme paranoia of digital sensor knees. I've tried to be open minded but have been let down by digital too many times.

I just love the images that come out of it. Seems like the raw picture is always a lot closer to what I want than what comes out of my DSLR. Really fun to shoot with too, I don't shoot much sports anymore and am gaining a new appreciation for the small size.
I don't know much about sensors really. I know you're a big film guy. For me I just love the way my Fuji's pictures look, and I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way about them. I've also used my old man's X20 a bit and have been very impressed by that as well. I imagine the X-Pro is great

This type of feedback is more meaningful that spec sheets, I've found.
I hope I can really put one through the ringer one of these days. If I'm not satisfied, I'll just go buy that Mamiya 7 I've had my eye on since forever.
taking "night and speed light" and a "landscape and the book" class this spring to rap up my degree at msu. Enjoying wondering town at night. suggestions welcome
A few random shots with the phone while I was in Whitefish last week. Nothing special. Didn't get around to bringing the real camera out.
On an unrelated note, I just picked up an old Nikon FE2, so looking forward to start playing around with film. Should be good times, if not more frustrating and expensive than digital. Ha ha.

Just got Silver Key award for the first photo from the Scholastic art awards so I thought I'd post it up. Also had a chance to shoot a 100mm Canon macro lens, so theres some macro haha
This one is comped with a sunset shot so I could get the rocks and the blue/pink sky to go along with the light trails from the highway and the stars under no moon.
Been trying to work on my photography game while still concentrating mostly on video. Went to Carinthia yesterday and got some shots; pretty stoked on this one.
Please critique, but keep in mind 2 things. The adapter was half broken so i literally had to hold the lens pushed hard into the adapter. Also, it was snowing.
Pretty stoked on how it turned out. It was my second time ever shooting with a DSLR.
Feedback negative or positive would be nice.
I was using a canon t4i with a 55-250 lens.

I think you could have cropped the right side a bit more and the arm in front of the face is weird, other than that I think it's a really dope shot man!
Not sure what order these will show up in, but in no particular order these are a pic from the rainbow rail at keystone, a hawaiian sunset pic, a mountain goat pic from a hike, a celebration pic from the Broncos AFC championship win, and a little grab pic from keystone. All pics are mine, and all criticism is welcome.
