  1. Thanks for taking a look! Admittedly I do compose more of my photos traditionally and maybe lack of foreground or clear subject is what is bothering me. I think next time i shoot I'll try a longer lense to get more detailed landscapes. I've had the desire to bring a model to some of my locations too, to create dramatic environmental portraits. And being real in your critique is what I need to hear, I'm so used to getting the whole "wow your photos look so pretty" from the non photo types. Thanks again!
  2. Hello! I've been shooting landscape and nature photos for about 3 years and have definitely seen an improvement in my skills with schooling and practice. However, lately I feel my photos give off an "amateurish" look. I do use an entry level dslr but have invested in lenses such as 35 1.8 and an ultra wide angle from tamron. I have been told time and time again that it's the person behind the camera that counts, not the equipment. I guess the question i am asking is what can I do to really get that WOW factor and get my photography to a proffesional level? What changes did you make to help you achieve this as well?

  4. The assignment was to take two separate shots. Not 2 identical shots with different apertures. As far as the chromatic aberration, being a beginner it's not something I even picked up on or really understand. I'll do some research. And the course is definitely encouraging creativity but in our first unit it's more or less a refresher/ lesson on basic functions on a dslr
  5. I appreciate the feedback! I do agree with you that the second photo could have been exposed differently. I think I'll try reshooting or try another subject.
  6. The assignment is to have two photos, one with a wide aperture to create a narrow depth of field, and the second is to have a small aperture to create a great depth of field. Just looking for opinions, I am just starting this online course
  7. For whatever reason the first photo only shows as a link MOD NOTE: It should be showing as an image now.
  8. Hello! My assignment is to post two photos, one with a small DoF and one with a larger DoF. The first one was shot with a wider aperture, second one is around f16 both shot with a 35mm f1.8 from Nikon The photos are both attached! thank you! { }
