Happy new year guys

"down the stairs to a dark doorway" shots look killer when done well. i like this one b/c of the light on one side.

[lilodxd]

looking for some constructive criticism regarding a few of my photos. here's a sample..

[juliaN.]

i like the first one

kinda indifferent about the other two...i dunno how to put it, i am by no means a professional or even amateur photographer - but the first one has a certain perspective and composition that is lacking in the others.

[freecat]

first one is too cluttered, second one is uninteresting, third one deserve a better camera and more play with the lights on the background.

imo

[C0C0]

we all gotta start somewhere...i like the first one though, don't think it's cluttered at all...the quality of the photos really makes it hard to really give good feedback...unless u have a good reason for bad quality =P

[lilodxd]

thanks for the feedback so far. as for the quality of the photos, what exactly makes it bad? the color? lighting? sharpness?

[ProfMonnitoff]

subject matter is bland and they're really really noisy. are you using a compact?

[VuONG]

lilodxd - in my opinion:

first image, is a very interesting compostion, lots of the crossing lines makes your eye move across the complete image.

but there isn't quite a clear focal point, maybe this is what you were trying to go after. On another note your image quality is very poor. What i mean by image quality is that the color tones are very washed out thres no bold colors, no strong values (dark + light) everything is kind of bland.

second image. I like how the seat makes the wording on the bag pop. i think this is a problem with poor cropping, do you really need to see the whole word? or maybe just a fragment and some of the orange chair.

third image. the repetition of the fence and the feeling of infinite is interesting, but again this is an issue of poor cropping. do you really need to see the grass? maybe if you shifted the point of view to the right so you see more of the vertical lines of the skyline that would add to the dynamic of the image.

i think the easiest thing to do is before you snap the shot just think real quick and take your time composing the shot. look for the best possibility and then snap. You don't need a SLR to have fantastic images, a good composition.

last two shot was taking with a sd750 with the in camera processing of vivid color. made the colors really pop.

first time out recreational shooting for some time. xti nift50 bla bla

ProfMonnitoff: i'm using a canon s3is. i'm not really sure why there's so much noise.

VuONG: thanks for the detailed feedback. i see what you mean with the cropping and general blandness of the photos. two things i will try to improve upon.

[VuONG]

^^ in relation to the noise. if you have the ISO set on auto. usually the computer bumps up the iso to have a faster shutter speed, you should manually set the iso to 80 or 100 in good light and if you have a tripod use the same setting at night for stills.

my dad has the same camera, it produces greats pictures just remember the iso. smaller cameras can't handle high ISO thus giving the noise

My 17-55 2.8 IS should arrive tomorrow!

I like this

[bibipuerk]

here's my last shit ...

[amardeep]

both came out pretty shitty, but needed some shit to add to my portfolio quick. feedback?

[Jkissi7]

Thanks for rep guys appreciate it

amardeep that last one is very dope to me , I always wanted to do something similar.

I took this a while back but I think personally was one of my best

"Working Days End" or something cliche like that lol

[wisie]

An old mental hospital nearby is due for demolition so I was pretty eager just to take a few more snaps before it's all gone. I'm sorry about the shitty processing and repetitiveness of standing in the middle of nearly every shot, this was because the rooms are huge and need some sense of scale but also because life is strange.

[Yardsale]

this is the one.

[juliaN.]

yeah that one is fucking greatness.

the rest are amazing as well, although other than the picture mentioned above i liked the ones with nobody in them the best.

[soundbomber]

wisie on that j-horror tip. always great work...
