I posted a picture of the negative of the one on the right a page back, I took another one and scanned both of them so I could "develop" them in photoshop.

read: invert colors and slight retouch on blemishes.

frankly, everyone who used those top 5 photos to patch together a banner are the ones who spurred Facebook to make the change. I've been really wanting someone to complain about timeline when they have those five small pictures in their history and I go "AHA, I CAUGHT YOU YOU STUPID forgetER."

It depends on which one is happening to me. In the middle of school when I'm absolutely swamped I hate it and long for the summer when I'm working and I have no woes, but right now I really miss the fast paced life of school.

The difference is that those are for new products. The point of those pictures is to get me to want to buy that product and that brand specifically. For a picture of something on eBay or Craigslist or what have you, I don't want a creative picture, I want as many boring photos as it takes for me to accurately assess the condition of the item.

Think of car ads. I'd get a picture to prove my point, but I'm on my phone. A car ad (like any advertisement) will try to portray the item in the most flattering and glamorous way possible. But if I'm buying a car used, I don't want flattering or glamorous pictures, I want pictures that will give me the most accurate idea of what condition the car is in.

So, if his first picture of the iPod and the second picture (the one "without creativity") were of the same iPod, the second one would have been a far, far better photo to accomplish his goal (picture for eBay) since it showed me the iPos is sort of in a stuffty condition.

YOU loving SAID TH-

Ahem. Where are my manners.

You said that the purpose of those photos were to advertise things you were selling on eBay. So if you're taking creative photos of something you're trying to sell, you're either failing to take a creative photo or failing to take a photo that portrays in a helpful manner something that you're trying to sell.

And you almost managed to fail in both of those categories. I mean, those photos definitely aren't creative, but I can sort of make out that that is an iPod.

You twit.

Also, don't ever call me ignorant in regards to photography. I will drop trains on you with the depth and breadth of what I know about photography.

ALSO (edit 2) there's a difference between being creative and being clever. If you were trying to be clever with your photos, OK, fine. Whatever. It was clever with the paper and the overhead lamp, but I wouldn't call it "creative", which is already a term so vague as to be unhelpful in this situation.

I don't know why you'd post those in a creative forum. Those demonstrate absolutely no creativity.
