Hey Banana just got propped for the "figures in the window" (picture of yours I quoted);

think the guy actually ment to rep you... : ]

 

Oh! Haha. Oh well!

 

 

 

and a pano from the Notre Dame in Montreal

I remember one of my favorite things about this thread use to be

the constructive criticism people would give to one another.

So I spose I'll do that.

Please dont take offense. I am not trying to be a jerk.

I just think theres things going on in this photo that are really awesome

and if you just did a lil bit extra it would be amazing.

 

So yeah feel free to let me know as well if my photgraphies could be better.

Things can always be better. :]

 

I'll start by telling you what is really good about this photo.

The light GOOT DAYUM. It's great. Iz dramatic and the lighting you have here

tells me I am looking into a place like Notre Dame.

 

The color in this is also really amazing. There is blue, purple,

green, yellow,black, orange, etc.

Lots of great color going on that look good together.

 

The one thing that would push this button of joy into infinite bliss is the composition.

Where am I looking from. Am I upside down? Spooky scary topsy turvy my friend.

Where I circled would make a much better straightened point.

The light coming from the center, and the statue already draws you into that area.

 

 

The dashed lines should be the line from the center.

I meant to make a dash line where that arrow is by the yellow light.

I AM BAD AT MS PAINT.

Anyways It would give your photograph

a lot of shape,line, and direction. Kinda like this -0-.

The great thing about this image you have here is that the lighting is creating these lines and supporting all the shape that is going on here.

Just move it up from the left and you are centered (I think). Basically get rid of the person.

Unfortunately this person does nothing for your picture.

It's distracting and causes your photo to be ill composed.

Focus on the architecture.

 

Again. Prease dont take offense.

I only offer my opinion on this becaues I think the color and light you caught here is fantastic!

If I could capture light like this I'd be stoked!

Also iz from new iphone? If so I need to get one.

Thanks for the crits banana, i appreciate it! I liked that about this thread before too.

I see what you mean, i haven't really done many panoramas so it was tough to execute. This was done with my point and shoot canon ELPH300. The stitching software i used that came with the camera cut out a a lot from the pictures i'll try and re-do it maybe it will look better but the person int eh photo is my friend and i thought it looked nice but it makes sense to only focus on the architecture.

 

these subway tunnel photos are bad ass, i love the lighting.

I figured the person was someone you knew.

I also focus heavily on photographing people around me.

I only suggest the architecture thang because architecture naturally follows principles

of designz so it makes it easy to identify and communicate that with thee photographin'.

Personal opinion on people is that they can be difficult cuz they so finnicky.

One minute they are centered and the next they move and mess everything up!

Or they talk and their face looks awful.

It isnt their fault. They people. Moving and talkin is what they do.

Anyways Id be interested to see what you come up with!

 

 

These are for a um "home tour" I did for a midcentury blog I write for.

Filmzies. The lighting in that house was difficult.

Shitties, this thread is for people to post their own photos. If those are your photos, my apologies/disregard that, but I'm doubtful.

 

BFish, Porra, OMG, Marco killing it these past pages.

 

 

Couple snaps from Utah 2 weeks ago. At Brighton. As always, not that sorry about the size.

Okay.

 

YOUR PHOTOS, or YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY then. Or something.

 

Right now we have The Photography Thread - which sounds like a general thread for photos,

and The Great Photography Superthread - which sounds a bit more like "(not your own) photos".

 

We had this before, I don't get why this is so hard to understand. The thread titles are not really clear without ambiguity.

I think it might be confusing just because the activity

in this thread isnt what it use to be. I remember when this

thread had a lot more contributions it was really clear what this thread was for.

Members photos and helpful critiques.

This thread old doh. It's original intention has not been said in awhile I think.

Its not a big deal but I am glad Chupracabra noted that.

The thread should stay on its original path.

Iz better that way.

 

Also Chupracabra those photos of them trees! Goot goot.

Looks real crisp!

I know this isn't a photo dump thread, but with all the ones I just picked out its gonna seem like it. I really try to take in ALL that is said here and in the advice thread. I read, watch videos about, and try to pay attention to what someone is trying to show me hands on. I get excited because it finally clicks, then when put on the spot..i take a picture, look at the screen and think WTF? not how it was supposed to turn out, like everything I just retained just slipped through the cracks. I swear some of you make it look so easy and effortless. I have respect for all of you, especially the ones who drop advice and such. for as long as i can remember, I have always thought, 'Its not the shoes- it's the runner' 'it's not the car-it's the driver' 'it's not the camera-it's the eye behind it' type shit. I refuse to believe that more equipment and camera will make a better picture. I know there is a difference in cameras, but its not like im still playing with a digital that only has preset settings. went out to play today a bit, came home loaded pics, and ended up going through many many pictures from years past. about 3 or 4 different cameras worth. sober/not sober, and definitely different moods. I guess always trying to master something (photo wise) besides a wall with paint. Im going to post oldest to newest. You guys usually give gentle crits,I appreciate that. (if you choose) I know these dont compare to what is usually posted, but I know for damn sure they are better than shit i posted years ago.

 

 

self. my favorite type of experimental photos. not very shy, i love suggestive bedroom pics

thank you . like anything i assume we all do, we think we're good, until great knocks at our door and introduces us to amazing..etc etc...

im kinds glad most of mine got wiped out with the 12pocolypse.

when i find camera advice thread where i was reaching out for help regarding headshots i wanted to take for my kids college applications, i will post those pics in there..

thank you again.

i see people have a trademark style of taking pics.. yours is a soft, calm picture. i love mercers night shots. and a few other users I cant think off the top right now.

love to see em all. Who was it that went down to panama or something and captured such great story telling people shots.
