not sure if this is manipulation...

Almost-Human  02/20/05 @045

more to the point you did well with a disposable camera, I would of thought the exposure would have been brief. your arms must be sore from shaking the camera lol 5+

Enola  02/20/05 @057

how did you do this!? It seems like smoke... nice colors

native29  02/20/05 @085

interesting poor cropping though

Beckett  02/20/05 @115

i didnt crop it my computer did

Lentorro  02/20/05 @142

uh, cool work, it seems like fire

Inabottle  02/20/05 @169

interesting effect, bee amzed what you can achieve, but I think you should crop this... its horrible... so prolly just scan it again and crop it better or work it in photoshop or whatever app you ahve... good though great job

LLL  02/21/05 @797

the fire part looks like a lion

CityRose  02/22/05 @390

It's a really interesting effect, but at the moment, it hadn't got an artistic purpose. Crop can help with that, as the others have mentioned already. What you choose to be the focus and how the effects look will help. You've discovered an awesome effect. Now play with it. Take a photo of something with the effect in it.......could be interesting. ^_^ Keep it up Beckett!

Wysiwyg  02/22/05 @846

Everyone is saying crop crop crop but they aren't telling you how. To be honest with you I really can't see how you should either. Perhaps a 'widescreen' movie type crop with a black border...i dunno. What this piece needs is to have some elements in focus. Now I realized that things were in motion, but with every element having the same intensity in light and focus (or lack of crispness) the image tends to come across as sort of flat. I believe this has great potential, perhaps if done again with a better quality camera would rectify some issues. You should definitely repeat this process as I think it would make an interesting series. Play around with the levels or contrast in photoshop as that might add some interesting effects as well. As far as catagory is concerned, there is a Photography-Abstract catagory

Imperfecta  02/22/05 @959

Hi there, Bryan! I like the way the blue light looks like a skull sometimes. Also, I can see a man on its battle-suit and another skull on the yellow part. Nevermind, I'm crazy. Well, some things here: When u use a normal camera, the quality of the image seems a bit poor, when we scan it. So, I recommend you to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop if you still don't, so you can make some adjustments like this: to increase the contrast and the quality of the picture. Still, it's a great idea, and a great theme to be explored. Well done! [thumbup] *P.S. --> If you don't know how to use Photoshop, PM me, okie? ___________________________________________________________ Edit: Also, the size of the picture must be 716pxl weight.

Almost-Human  02/23/05 @728

I like the image above.

Nyrak  02/23/05 @819

I agree with the previous commenters. For me, I'd crop a bit off the bottom black, since the black negative space doesn't work as well there as it does at the top with the descending motion of the blue light. I'd also like to see a series of images like this. But great start!

Wysiwyg  02/24/05 @577

That's exactly what I was explaining in my earlier crit Danielle!!

Beckett  02/25/05 @902

hey everyone, thanks for the support, i will try and impliment all of your tips on my future work!

pawlack  02/28/05 @008

It's really cool

Xris  03/02/05 @872

Hey Bry... this is really cool! What an amazing effect! You're really needing to do some more of this... 9/9

Andy--Jones  03/03/05 @981

I like it.Its like punk photography.Cool

Morre  03/10/05 @947

It's a nice concept, but the colors could be worked with... I like Imperfecta's edit. Very good.

GoTo  03/18/05 @958

I once took a picture with this kind of effect by chance, while I was walking at night on the street. I like the effect. I think the people talking about photoshop are write, a good knowing of this kind of program is definitely a plus when you post here ^^

Furitsu  03/19/05 @004

Hey, I like these kinds of photo's. The yellow lights look like a dragon almost.

kariefury  03/22/05 @296

bright idea. Have you checked out robert mekis's playing with light photos? they offer more idea's into how to get fun effects.

flowjoe  03/22/05 @366

Cool, post more when you have them

Juro  03/23/05 @016

Interesting idea, you come up with some original results here, keep it up.

Arcadian  03/23/05 @132

a good one, don´t know who, but some of the elite photofreaks has done a very similar photo, i´ll check who it was, when i have the time!!!! +6 btw

powernemo  03/23/05 @659

kewl!

Justykat  03/26/05 @049

I like this piece. Wish I knew more about lighting and photography. Thanks for inspiring me to post some of my things. Full points.

parasite  03/31/05 @722

O_O i've never seen anything like this! (hey! its a positive comment!) my my....n i wouldn't hv thought about the technique either nevermind.....my excuse? im a sci student .....haha

Im-Trying  03/31/05 @869

well ive been fighting with you in chat for about a week so i thort id comment on your work lol i can see a dragon in it in the yellowy bit but i think you should get an other disposable and do more!!!!! points tossed

SandraS  04/01/05 @599

You should really follow Imperfectas suggestion and fix it alittle up.. it'll look so much better. Very creatice shot from you. Hoping for more..

AvolonPrincess  04/01/05 @953

Interesting idea..I like the fire. You should play around with this in photoshop and see what you can do with it...not just contrast but try filters, paints, lighting effects...anything really. This seems like a fun piece to play around with.

audentia  04/02/05 @394

Really cool, lots of nice colours! Also very nice shapes, I especially enjoy the yellow part. Great one

aniviel  04/02/05 @813

Berrycola121  05/13/05 @329

I like the nice bright colours! Very vibrant.

Beckett  05/13/05 @755

I tried to get that border in, but it never showed all of it...

ClaraSoto  06/12/05 @089

Very good abstract !!!! Is this your only post ????? It is incredible all you can do with a simple camera !!!!! <It´s all about creativity !!! I will be waiting for more of your work !!!

Desert-of-Seth  06/16/05 @470

O.O the blue part didn't look like water to me,but the yellow part sure looks like fire

Beckett  06/16/05 @677

yeah, the water does look crappy It was actually the red part that made me name it. I couldn't think of what to name it because of the blue bit, ah well.

Ko-Toni  06/19/05 @819

that's really kewl! i love it!

cupcake  07/01/05 @708

Very Good Top Marks

Beckett  07/01/05 @904

cupcake... you already give me.... doesnt matter....

PeterGrave5  07/05/05 @810

you think this is fun, wait till you get a full on SLR, then you can bulb the shot out to like 30 seconds, and just wave the camera around till your hearts content....i did when i got mine, hey i still do it

liquidd  07/06/05 @097

Sweet! Especially for a photograph effect.

Beckett  07/06/05 @664

Thanks PeterGrave5 and Liquidd

Stardreamer  07/10/05 @869

I wish more digital cameras allowed more "play" in the photography and this is a great example of why. Full marks.

Beckett  07/10/05 @873

Thanks

Madilynnn  07/12/05 @775

I see a lion as well! I think you have been given some great advice! Nice creative work here. - Rene

Beckett  07/12/05 @790

I never thought I'd get +10 from this. Thanks everyone for helping me

Jumei  09/13/05 @578

Beatifull done!! I give it a 9!

Beckett  09/15/05 @639

Wow, thanks! Odile!

Xeptix  09/25/05 @998

I like this concept a lot, you can see so many things in the image that aren't really there, its like staring at cloud formations.

Beckett  09/25/05 @999

thanks Kyle!

Beckett  09/30/05 @952

Why aren't I the popular one? Joking, but I am impressed with the amount of comments! Thanks everyone!

Thanks Tracie!

Biter  10/04/05 @482

good idea, nice effect

Beckett  10/04/05 @674

Thanks Bartosz!

eXcetra  10/23/05 @056

Really nice. Lol, I see you got a nice convo going with this artwork or yours ^^ In fact, it IS really interesting. makes one wonder where it came from, how you managed to make such an image. As for the cropping....I feel as if your image isn't in the center...(the border on the left is much wider than the one on the right). And it would be much nicer if it were "crispier" Nevertheless, very impressive since it was done with a disposable camera. Maybe try it out the same thing with a better cam? (I think someone already mentionned that above). Again, Good job. Can't wait to see something new. ^^

Beckett  10/23/05 @586

Thanks Yawen, unfortunatley I haven't got photoshop anymore, so no more edits, but my sister is getting a camera for Christmas, I'll just steal it for a while.

vampiress  10/24/05 @719

Beckett  11/12/05 @943

Thanks Nate. I was aiming for annoying too. Anyone wanna comment on the profile instead? Give me some crits on it?

ThruMyEyez  11/19/05 @900

The profile far outshines the photo! I'm still experiencing vertigo and mild shades of annoyance! Well done!

Beckett  11/20/05 @068
