It might help if they weren't broken.

They aren't

Didn't think so.

[QUOTE=The golden;17025187]Although there isn't much wrong with them, I will throw in some pointers: - Keep your subject away from the center. Either left or right, unless it cannot be helped or it truly adds to the picture. - Run your pictures through an editing program. Editing is a form of art itself. It carries over ones style. - Black and white does not always make the picture, it will actually often ruin it. Keep that in mind. - Clean your lens/sensor, it's filthy. :v: - Get some more interesting angles on your subjects. Especially the portraits/ people pictures, were they can be very boring if you just stand there.[/QUOTE] Will try to do all of that, heh, if I can. Thanks :)

Try not to take pictures of people taking pictures of people. There are many ways to do Black and white, you can use various combinations of channels, the default on the camera is usually the most uninteresting. Some of the shots look underexposed, try different metering modes. I like the last day bargains if the shot was farther away, maybe alittle wider. The cigarette can is interesting, but the angle is boring in my opinion.

They're pretty boring

I like em; i think they're classy!

Eh, I don't really see anything special in the photos. When doing a shot of a person, you want to get right in front of them and take the shot. Taking it from the side like that isn't the greatest of ideas to do. Look up some composition tutorials and read up on them. You still have lots to improve.

Really boring, they're also underexposed.

Cheers you guys are so optimistic.

I'm not a "professional" like these guys above, but I really like those pictures. Interesting subjects, and I like the last one especially. A vibrant background with a musky foreground.

I tried to stick to your advice and take a look at this. [media]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3877032963_a66374aeca_o.jpg[/media] and before hand [media]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2579/3877032173_e459538321_b.jpg[/media]

Line up your verticals Use lighting more effectively Get a better emotive response out of your subjects And stop taking pictures of photographers
