What is this, 1822?

Those are some dull colors. I get what you're trying to do with the mood, but in the end it results in a dullness. I think a series of different blueish colors would be more exciting and lend the same effect.
Also I don't like that vignetting.

Off my first roll of film, this is the only shot that came out good enough (after cropping half of it away) for me to consider posting in this thread. Got some issues with the film not advancing, but I'll sort that out in the next few days.

Just dropping this shot here. I love the transition that goes on from left to right.

I've been getting no response on my last couple of pictures here, comments or ratings. Are they really that generic?

Fair enough, you deserve an answer so I'll lend you my onion on this one:
The idea has premise, but that's about it really. The execution has many, though objective, flaws.
For me those flaws are the black-on-black colors, that's always annoying and distracting, and a lack of reading like in your composition. A lack of interesting colors and, like many others before you, dotted background contrasts that serve for nothing but to confuse the eye.
Now, you've obviously got a good idea going, both the old camera and the old tree instantly gives me associations with childhood, but before you snap the picture think "how is the lighting, and how can I make it presentable?" - for examples on how to do it right, spend the next few days analyzing professional photographs, then your own. Remember: study the photographs that you think are the most amazing and impossible photographs you've seen.
Thanks for your onion

Well actually it's a garlic but you're welcome.
The idea is cool but up your exposure a bit
[QUOTE=Trogdon;37108325]The idea is cool but up your exposure a bit[/QUOTE]
Better then putting his exposure up: find a location where the camera and tree are lit, but not the background. Get better light contrasts.
I shot at another gig this past weekend. Please let me know what you think! Mind the watermark. Too lazy to re-export all the pictures without them.

I took 3 pictures consecutively and the light colour changed for each shot, so I decided to put them together in Photoshop. I kinda like it, though.

I just realised I forgot to put in the one that I did retouches on. Sigh.

Really drawn out advice, lose the shakespeare.
As for advice for Gurulongie. The dark colours make it hard to differentiate the camera from the background. The photo has no substance and the angle is pretty confusing and has no closure you know? I'd say get some more interesting subjects and always think about how your subject is looking in relation to the background. No poles out the head n shit.

God dammit. My senior photos I did for my friend are crap to that.
:'(
Although, I do feel like if it's a senior picture, there's too much room. My eyes wander too much when they should be focused on her. Good shot otherwise.

I would say that shot needs to be a bit more intimate. It feels too wide, especially when the fringe light is that perfect. I do like that golden grass though.
[QUOTE=ctlilc;37111925]Does she have a broken arm?[/QUOTE]
Yeah I noticed it too, didn't know how bad it was but with a response like that clearly not good :P
I have more from the set but that's the only one I've edited so far.

Oh god I just saw the 'broken arm' and actually cringed.
Nothing fancy. Just an experiment of sorts. I found a concave piece of plastic on the ground and took a shot with it covering the lens. I think it's sort of dreamy.

Also, I like the water drops in this one.

Sorry I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for the (sort of) criticism. I'll keep those things in mind next time.

Kinda digging this one. I'm wondering if it should make it into my portfolio or not.
