Hallo!
Well, while working on two of my current photography projects, I deciced to check out some of my earliest playmobil pictures to analyze how I used to make some landscaping effects...when I looked at some of my first photo stories, I noticed that the backdrop effects were not as perfect as my current ones...however my photography was pretty ok and the details in the layouts were very good too.
Since (in my opinion) I did not put together that balance of all "especial effects" like I do now, I kind of feel embarrassed of showing my old artwork - however a part of me tells me that this is just a ridiculous perception and while I get done with my current projects I should show some of my old ones (especially to those who missed it). :D
The pic below is a bunch of outtakes from my African photo story (called "Honey Moon in Africa")...it may be interesting to re-post it on here after 7 years (I made it in 2005) to compare my photography evolution after all, no? what do you all think? ???

Why have I become so ridicuosly perfeccionist? ??? has this ever happened to anyone?
I sometimes feel I'm crazy too!! 8} sorry if my latest posts are nonsense to some of you :lol: :-[

Luis, those photos look great! You've got to be kidding me, how can you possibly be ashamed to show them? ??? :lol: I'm dying to see your honeymoon in Africa story, pleeeeease post it! :prays:

You suffer from the same problem I have! We are our own worst critics! The pictures that you did in 2005 are great. As you evolve with new ideas & see how others do things, don't be ashamed of the past, just concentrate on growing, & utilizing the knowledge you've accumulated as you've gotten more advanced. Now with that being said, please show us the past photo stories you've accomplished! :)9

It looks great, I just love the undignified position of the clickies in the second picture. :lol:
Always fun when monkeys swipe vehicles too. ;)
-
I can only repeat what Bill has sain already! Great pics and your technic evolves as you progress, so its always good to look back and see how much you have progressed and bettered yourself!

I see that trouble making monkey that is currently in PCPD jail for some of those incidents he's been involved with,......now auto theft is being added to his rap sheet! :lol:

thank you for the encouragement everyone! I need to start seeing the bright side of everything 8}
will post the story over the weekend - the advantage of posting an old project like this is that I already have everything made! ;D

After reading your re-posted story, I don't see anything you need to change. :lol:

Ahh you guys are the best! :-[ 8-)
Alex, I too am like that in other aspects of my life...it's driving me crazy, but i'm trying to have control over it. :-\ ;D
-
Just try to find the right balance, allow yourself to be controlling about some aspects but loosen up about others.. pick your battles and all that.

so true and so wise! :)
i remember that not being able to find that balance caused me a lot of troubles (with myself) at my former work place 8}

You're in great company ;)! So sit back, relax, & enjoy the ride on the Crazytrain! 8} :lol:

Dearest Luis :wave:
I am afraid that one is born perfectionist and will die accordingly ;)
I remember the incredible time & efforts I put through creating photo stories and dioramas, looking out for the right object at the right place, waiting for the sun to illuminate the scene at a special time, searching for a peach coloured lamp bulb to recreate an early morning light, and so on 8}
I am like this in real life too and you will agree that it is not fun to be so and certainly not fun for those who are around us as our nature makes us extremely demanding to ourselves and others and at times uncompromising, but well that's human nature :)
Yes dear Friend, welcome to the looney train and keep enchanting us with your stories :love:
Karim :)

Hello your photos look great to me, I know the feeling though as someone said your own worst critic that's appt enough I always say when I'm doing art that I know it's not particularly good but, it's mostly alright so as long as I'm pleased with it I'm happy although that's not guaranteed by any means.
I'll tell you what I am embarassed by some of my old Doctor Who and Spiderman stuff I'm not the most creative mind but, I did my own amateur magazines some of the stuff I came up with was alright normally more aimed at being humorous if I'm being honest but, other things and this is not just me being self critical is absolutely shocking :o I honestly don't know where I came up with some of it from, my one attempt at a gardening one with quotes that I've thought up myself or heard at work with some photos courtesy of LEGO Digital Designer weren't to bad on the other hand.
