Went for walk tonight, stunning sunset.

[BenWall]

After work tonight me and my girlfriend drove out to a near by lake for a walk around. It's nice the evenings are a little longer now

I'm really struggling to find a stlye of photo that I want to follow, on the one hand I want normal 'press' photos, meaning more as the eye sees it not really having any creativity too them just a few edits on the curve, but on the other hand I want to be quite creative and let my photos have a summer vibe to them, much like this guy on flickr. So I just trying to find my way at the moment.

Let me know what you think of the below.

Thanks, Ben.

Really good photos Ben, up there with your best I'd say.
I know what you mean about struggling to find a style, as I'm the same. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing experimenting, however I'd say that people who consistently stick to one style tend to get more recognition on Flickr and eleswhere. I've actually made a second account in an attempt to keep things separate. I think it comes down to a feel to your photos that can be applied to any style of photo.

Thanks Paul and others.

I want a couple of accounts, but I can't keep splashing out $24 on new pro accounts. Have you added me to your contacts on your new account?

They definitely have a distinct visual style to them, all been processed in roughly the same way by the looks of things.

Love your shots anyhow, #1 doesn't quite sit right for me compositionally (can't quite put my finger on why, maybe the sun being central) but I love the rest, #11 in particular.

Ha yeah, didn't think about the pro thing.. not a problem for me at the moment fortunately. I'll send you an invite now, it's a bit empty at the moment though, just a few motorsport shots up. Haven't quite decided how best to split things up between the two accounts yet.

 

[Paul.]

fantastic! Love this part of the forum

I think your doing it right lol. I think your best keeping that border your using on all photos on that account, and make it motor sport? Looks really smart.

Thank you Chris, Paul, Peaches and JME.

Chris, I know what you mean, I quite like it though, mainly because of the flare spot in the middle.

 

[Chris n nic]

Amazing m8. I actually liked the first one mainly due to the glow around the plants but the others are superb aswell

[Christopher]
