I hate to complain and all, but I wish more people would look at my stuff. Even if they hate it, I just want it to be looked at so I can have some feedback. I'm new at this! How do I get more people to look at my pictures?
The best way is probably to comment on other peoples images, esp. the more regular members, and provide them with some real, useful feedback. Just a simple fact. Posting this discussion will robably get some attentiont too but only in the short term.
I looked at all of your images and if you keep up the work and are willing to make changes to your style, technique, etc. it will capture people's attention in the new galleries. I think you have a good artistic start to this hobby.
The easiest way to have your photos payed attention to is either:
A. Bring incredable art that is blatently higher quality than most other art on the site
B. Become an active/overactive regular member on the site, to where folks care who u are, and consequently what you've been submitting. As Sam suggested.
Hey, i had the same prob ^^. Im fairly new here to caedes, not really known much. If you guys could swing by some of my images on some spare time, id be grateful
I suppose I'm just a contrarian, but often the minute someone asks or tells me to do something, it repels me from actually doing it. I can be tying my shoes to go mow the lawn, but as soon as Mom pops her head in and mentions it, the shoes come off and it's not getting done 'til later. In other words, starting threads like this are not going to get attention from people with poor attitudes like mine.
What does seem to work for nearly everyone is voting and commenting on other people's works, especially those of more regular members. (Which is what Sam said in the first post.) What goes around, comes around.
I don't search a particular gallery unless I see a pattern of things I like. I also don't hover my pointer over the thumbnails to look for names first. I just open new images at 18 per page(comfortable speed for me on dial up) And out of those 18 three or maybe on a good day five will jump out at me to be checked closer. That's all you've got to do, make or photograph something that's going to be a little different from everything else on a crowded page.
xentrik... I didn't start this thread to tell people to look at my stuff, I started it to find out how to GET people to look at my stuff. After posting this, more people happened to look into my gallery.
I'm totally with ya on being told to do stuff. I'll clean my room when I FEEL like cleaning my room. Luckily I don't live with my parents anymore, and ironically I now clean my room like once a week.
