Really cool photos. You should take a little time to improve them...

It's winter time, days are short and it gets dark really quickly... I

seem to get those urges to take a photo and photoshop it (almost to

death). This was exposed at -1, which made a great sky but the rest

turned out kind of grainy...

The time of my comment may be indicated as 1:10 PM, but where I am it was in fact much later, and the number of beers tipped is also not shown for some reason.

 

At the same time would like to point out in my defence that I only recently got into photography and the idea of changing finders still seems pretty exotic (which made me dismiss the comment as technical question in my haste when I read it the first time).

 

Fine, it was "DP-P & S without looking" finder. I would really recommend you to try that, you get 1:1 magnification and more than full frame coverage! Plus EXTRA high eye point. I am afraid only available with Nikon though... Lucky you, you use Nikon as well!

 

Ok, now I can appreciate your sarcasm :)

Seven, thank you for your comments on this and another of my photos. It is great to have people like you on PN.

 

She was waiting to be substituted back on. I liked her strained pose.

Thank you for your comment. This was shot with a cheap Nikon zoom @28mm f/3.3, hence the light fall-off in the corners and barrel distortion. I think a 24mm would have worked better here, to fit in even more poles and silhouettes, and more of the tower. This was shot from a moving boat, standing on a seat @1/20s, unfortunately as we floated away things got in the way and I could not take a shot from further away.

Thanks for your comments. I shot with 3200 film hence the grain, which gets exaggerated as contrast is increased. Erasing those lines top right would mean marking this as manipulated...conscience!

Finder? Just point and shoot. The image on the floor is some ad, I think for the film Along came Pollie? Something like that...

Please comment...

What do you think?

The expressions are well captured, but I find the background with the red poles and the brick houses and trees really does not fit here. Also the tilt is a bit awkward, as is the way their legs are cut off...

It looks like there is a slight tilt to the image. Also, the positioning of the glider within the frame seems awkward.

 

I do like some of your other photos in the folder!

The darkening of the sky bottom right looks slightly out of place, esp. if you follow the diagonal line where the darkening begins...

 

Just a suggestion, but may be the sky could benefit from reduced constrast, because after looking at the image for some time the bright sky on the left seems in uncomfortable contrast to the darkened sky on the right...

That white thing on the right feels a little out of place to me. Also seems tilted to the right, but perhaps that's just awkward lens distortion?

IMHO: the houses seem to be too magenta, whereas the foreground seems "too" monochrome, it being completely B & W. Perhaps having a slightly toned foreground would help, or a less desaturated one. I like the angle you chose, but the thing next to the radiator seems distracting; I think the composition could be improved by simplifying it a little. The bit of sunshine on the wall is amazing. Don't know if it would work to leave its reflection on the table coloured as well?

 

LOL I just thought may be if you have nothing better to do, how about moving the table more into the picture, to have the table with those fruits in the foreground blocking that thing next to the radiator?

HP5+

A beautiful capture!

I like the atmosphere here, but IMHO the way the guy is dressed does not match with the place. To be more specific, the white shoes and his expression, his head is too visible. Usually in movies they hide the head to give the character a more mysterious look. Otherwise it looks a bit like "here comes my friend" rather than what you suggest in the title.

 

You caught him in a nice pose though.

There are some courageous girls out there...

Street...

A refreshing change from snapshots of kids! 6/6

Another revolution...

This crop doesn't work for the composition.

Nice long drapes... by the looks of it you probably had no control over this, but compositionally this could improve, ie different shooting position.

"Bloody Saviour" or something like that translated.

I like the atmosphere. 5/6
