What i have been doing lately

Since i fail at making something remotely signature looking, i've decided to do "photo manipulations" or digital edits of real life photos

First attempt was complete bull crap https://freestylersworld.com/showthre...lpaper-Attempt
(It was back in 2014)

Right now i just make and post them on my instagram immediately and forgetting to upload them to my deviantart, but since i remembered, its time to show you guys some! (in chronological order)

And finally 10

Spoiler!

http://pre07.deviantart.net/4edb/th/...lf-d9gz0a1.jpg

the water is replaced on this one too

All these pictures are taken by me unless specified and they all had the skies replaced (im dead serious). Give your comments since nobody really cnc'd them yet. (on a Sony A200 DSLR @fourth)

this is technically my hobby now since i do love to express my creativity in some form. these are also the only "significant" projects i made, the rest are on my Deviantart and Instagram linked on my signature

tl;dr these are not signatures

Original photos if you wanna compare https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5irk0uc5o...U4_iEx_ea?dl=0

That first one tho!
But you auto-ruin it by adding a "watermark" / that font / text (goes for anyone that does this stuff).

welp... i tried to hide them on corners since these pictured do get reposted/stolen on instagram alot, im just keeping it safe. you don't know how many people can claim these as their own (plus all these images are from deviantart so they do have a watermark too)

Whew all of them are awesome, only thing I can say is, and this is just my opinion of course, that number 9 looks a bit too bright with the white at the back.

Man, I don't always agree with you, even to the point where I started to hate you, but damn, these are fine works.

You said that these are real life shots?

mind uploading the originals?

Also, what slr are you using?

I'm being strictly professional here, these really are amazing shots. Do you manually adjust your settings? Based on what I've observed, these are landscapes. Ever tried seeing what you can do with other subjects? I want to upload my shots too but im at work. I recently editted a shot of my motobecane vintage 60's bike with my audio technica ws55 and sony mdr zx 110 and so far, it's been my best shot/edit this month. Took it with my Sony A100. This is why I recommended Sony to Shino, I've been using it for years and I haven't seen it complain about anything lol.

I usually keep the settings at auto or landscape with the default 18 mm lens. cept the one with the towers, i used a 200mm for that. i tried experimenting with subjects and models but they dont turn out well as i expected, i did post one of pikachu tho

The thing about photography is, it's not addictive at first. You know, you get random decent shots and you'll tell yourself like "aye, i took a good raw shot." Next thing you know is you'll be playing with filters, next thing you know is you'll try to defocus stuff, then you start playing with manual settings, next thing you know you'll be using photoshop, you know what I mean? I've been into photography for quite some time now, never been a big fan until I worked for Sony and found out that it's an art form just like how music is art. This is why I was confident as well with Sony products as I own a nikon with higher specs than my sony a100 but I still use my a100 whenever I need it.

If you really want to take your technique to the next level I recommend you google "matte painting" and watch some tutorials.

And for god sakes learn some colour grading dude. You're on the right track though for the most part.
