Hi all

This is my first attempt at doing pin hole photography with my

DSLR I would love your thoughts about the turn out?

Composition was not my focus here rather exposure and detail..

Thanks

Elliot

Thanks for the comments!!

You wont believe but I never used any lighting only an amazing little lens being the canon 55m F1.8.  If I could personally change 1 thing it would be the light reflection in his glasses but I am not sure if this would spoil the amount of detail in his face and make him look flat?

I am hoping to get my lighting within a month or so and will be posting alot of my pictures!!

Once again thanks for taking the time to comment!!!

Hi All

I would love to know your thought on this composition and

lighting?

Thanks

Elliot

Thanks so much Tural!!

Thanks for the critique.  I miss spelt the flash its a snoot not snout hehe.  here is a brief discription; designed to give an approx. 15° controlled spot of light, with a hard shadow effect.

I will add a photo of it.  I took your advice and edited another image of the shot however my iso was too high resaulting in alot of detail lost while reducing noise, i will post a photo of that aswell.

Hi All

This was my first attempt at taking a photo with a snout flash.

I would love your input or advice on how to improve next time!

Thanks

Hi there!!

I would love your input in regards to my editing and lighting of this photo

Thanks in advance!!

I received no rating on this in 24 hours but would love some

input? I think this is one of my favorite photos!!

Hi all

I have got a question. I am getting very low ratings for

photos which I think carry a story and good compsoitional

rules. This photo for example has contrasting colours, a

man in a poor situation yet he is smiling, the fact that he is

hiding his eyes brings mystery. This to me has stadium and

punctum so why would it score a 3,6?

I would love to know what I am doing wrong that feels rite?

Hi This was a difficult photo to edit as the subject was underexposed,

the photo was taken in difficult conditions so I had no time for lighting

checks. I think I did alright with the post processing but I would like to

get your ideas?

Thanks so much Ravi!!

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! 

Did I mention Brilliant!

Well Done!

Thanks so much Mike for the comment!  I live in the free state in south africa so veld is what we have I am just glad you appreciate the hidden beauty found in it!

Hi Asher

I am refering to the basic rules of composition. diagonals, the grass in front has texture so b&w and the direction of the grass leads your eye into the fence which then leads you to the small treas in the background bringing emphasys to distance. I shot this photo with an appeture of 9 and a standard 18-55mm lense (was set to 28mm).  The fence was leaning itself giving that wide andgle lense feel.  I think the reason why it is lacking contrast in my mind is because there is no detail in the sky, I suppose I could edit it a bit.

But thanks for the comments!

Hi I was wondering, the clouds seem painted or is that just me? The

only work done was white balance and exposure.

Hi All

This is not normally the type of picture that I would take however I have

been reading up alot about composition and except for some clouds

missing it follows the rules.

I like it but don't love it and would like your thoughts?

This is a very dangerous part of town at night so I didn't have time for a tripod! plus my girlfriend was shouting at me from the car, so you can say I am a bit rebelious!

Hi Guys

I was just wondering about the composition of this photo. I feel that the

church tower that is faded and the horse that is in sharp focus works

however I am in 2 minds about the branches of the tree: Firstly I feel it

works because coming infront of the tower gives emphasis to the deapth

of field, Secondly I feel that It would have made the subject stand out

more if the branches werent touching, creating a good negative space?

Any advice as to which would work better?

In photography I have learnt that contrast is normally a winner, however I believe that if you can find contrast whilst having symetry you have something completely unique and that is what I have found in this photo!

So chuffed!!

Hi John, to be completely honest this was my first shoot so I am still learning the ropes, I post-procesced her eyes and it came out quite well! thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the comments!  I was aiming for an angelic look with a decent contrast and softer skin. I'm glad to see it came across!

Hi I lowered vibrance and put saturation at maximum on this photo what

do you think about the outcome?
