Stadium High School

Given the subject here, is there a different/better way I could have

composed the shot? I'm trying to learn to see things more

abstractly, or at least differently, so that my photos aren't all

boring.

I really like the play between the dark railings and the shadows they create; especially on the bottom fire escape.... i love it how its almost impossible to tell what is shadow and what is iron. My only concern is the contrast, the wall is a bit too hot for my tastes. You certainly have some more abstract shots in this folder, a great start i would say, keep up the good work.

This is a unique perspective. What a great idea. Certainly not boring. There could be more luminosity or more bright whites to make it 'pop'. But nice contrast. I really like the way the stairs get smaller and smaller as they get higher in the photo.

Mathew, You've done just fine here. Tilting the camera provided an interesting perspective. Very good achitectural shot. Looks like a good start for a portfolio on the high school. Get some longer shots, some closer detail shots & you're on your way. Best, LM.

This is my kind of b&w work. I like the high contrast, it gives the shot an "edge", and makes it interesting.

Thanks for taking time to mull over the shot and comment. Len, I took your advice and went back out to the high school. I developed the negatives, and when I get a chance to look at them I'll post any that look interesting. I tried to take all of your critiques to heart when I took the shots, so we'll see. Thanks again.

Each of the shots was hideous, and I've since moved. It's a mere two hours away, though, and I'll get back there someday.

The angle is great,you may be suffering from the same problem I have when scanning.The images seem to lose something on a "everyday scanner" like I use.I still struggle with the contrast on mine.Original shot...congrats.
