-snip- wrong thread

[El Periodista]

@Pentium: Your composition's flat and lacking in creativity, and your editing (if any) is just as dull and boring.

That's an interesting object, and it could potentially lead to some interesting macro stuff, but this is a bad photograph.

Also, a white cloth isn't any good if it's got wrinkles in it. At least iron it and make sure it's flat when you take a picture. Don't half-ass things here.

I like your dedication to weird cameras. Reminds me of art school.

[Sockpuppetss]

Whats weird about my camera

[lope]

is that a doobie in the first picture

the second one scares me

[El Periodista]

Time to stop talking and actually post something.

The only reservation I have about any of these is the thought that the bottom picture should be thinner vertically. That aside, I believe they're quite good. Tell me why they aren't.

The first one is pretty neat just not very interesting.
The second I like quite a bit actually
I feel like the third could be more interesting if you tried some different angles, but overall it's pretty well composed
I feel like the last one has balance issues, it just feels crooked (maybe it is!)

just my 2c

[El Periodista]

You know, that could be very slightly crooked. It didn't look like it in editing, but maybe it is.

I'll give you that on the first one. There's a style I was trying to emulate, and I don't quite think I nailed it. I still thought it came out rather well, though.

I know the framing on the third is expected, but there was an image I was intentionally trying to make there, and I feel like it captures the idea and feeling I wanted to portray. I might give it another shot when I go back, though.

[S T]

I'm pretty new to photography, I've always had an interest in it but never really got into it. As of late, however, I've been thinking about it a lot and I've been taking a ton of photos. Mostly I've just gotten shots of my friends but I feel very much like an amateur. This photo I took earlier today because my friend wanted pictures for tinder and I think it was the best one in the group.

My friends usually like my photo's but I'd really like some genuine feedback not just from strangers but from photographers.

your processing hurts my eyes

2nd photo is nothing

last photo has way too much negative space, the only interesting thing is teeny tiny on the far right side of frame

also drop ur iso what are u doin at 6400

I think this could be quite nice if you exposed for the highlights. But taking photos like this in the middle of the day is hard with the high sun.

I tried focusing on the clouds of last nights sunset.

Someone finally mentioned the processing. Thank you. There's a style I'm trying to dial in on, but I'm having some trouble getting it exactly right.

ISO at 6400 is because I'm an idiot who forgot to change his settings once the storm cleared up, and not whatever drawn out explanation was here before.

Sounds like I've got some things to work on for my next trip. See you all in a few weeks.

[kirby2112]

[QUOTE=El Periodista;52231243]Someone finally mentioned the processing. Thank you.

ISO is at 6400 because there was practically no light that day. Fastest I could shoot at 3200 was 1/15, and the lowest I'm willing to handhold is 1/30. That's not normal, usually I have light.

Sounds like I've got some things to work on for my next trip. See you all in a few weeks.[/QUOTE]

but that's shot at 6400 and 1/800th

you've got a huge amount of space to work with there on a 35mm equiv lens

drop your shutter to 1/60 or 1/125

Yeah, I checked the metadata on Flickr, and you're right.

I need to pay more attention to the camera.

I like all of those, the first one must have been quite a sight in person.

I have less than a week left in Edinburgh before I move to the states so trying to build up my collection as much as possible.

I wanted the last one to be kind of high-key, but I didn't want to lose all of the stones detail, hence the not so high-key look.

So people could discuss it and help him process how he feels about it.

I quite like the composition. I don't really like the block grey in the middle and upper portion, though it does make it stand out.
