Foggy Geese

Please Critque.

 

Any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.

You requested critiques, often if a shot is close but not quite there - it's hard to think of something constructive to say. this shot is one of those - not a snapshot - yet not entirely successful. I've got students who don't get the responsibility they acquire when the take and display an image. This is part of the process. Mom, wife or girlfriend will tell you "that's nice" and perhaps you'll believe them - don't.

 

9,999 to go - you're getting there - raise you standards (as i mentioned before).

 

Hope this helps.

I enjoyed seeing your foggy wildlife photo, I was also out getting some foggy winter morning photos. The fog and light add a lot to your photo.

This is why I stick with PN. Most people go on about how great my photos are, (and in some cases tell me that they should be in National Geographic) yet I know better. I don't listen to them but I do want to hear feedback.

 

I liked how you put it, 'if a photo is close, it's hard to come up with something to say.' Which explains why I recieved more comments when I was just starting out 8 years ago.

 

I'm not a fully time amateur photographer. I don't drop money into gear (though I wish I could.) But I do find great enjoyment in learning more about taking great photos.

 

But what could be improved here, my choice of crop? subject? exposure?

Chad, God bless you, I'm kidding but they're DUCK-BUTTS.

 

The shot is fine - I would have gotten on my belly and lowered the perspective to let the fog really play around the subjects. Then I'd pray for the wind to change so they are sideways or approaching. Most important I would recognize this is a snapshot and kept messing with lens - angle - shutter speed - something to create a difference and make it interesting. Look at it as a game (if that appeals to you).

 

 

 

These guys weren't coming back, they were moving away because I was in the vicinity.

 

Not in a sick-o kind o' way but I never found the duckbutts unappealing. I do see where 4 profiles would be much more appealing though :)
