^^ You know its a whole lot easier when posting items from flickr to click the SHARE button and then choose HTML/BBCODE which gives you the code to post for every size you want.

this does 2 things:

1. makes it Easier on you as a board poster instead of having to click on the image then click on ALL sizes and then right click for internet properties

2. you get more Click throughs and views on your images for people on forums to see where we can look at the image, the Exif data and also it allows your images to be throw into Flickr Pools for the explorer so more people world wide can possbily see them.


and great bird picture. what focal length were you using? 55-200?

looks like the sigma 10-20 yo used?

since you get a lot of distortionwide open at 10mm usualy heres another idea. since the lens is already wide.... try staying at 10 or even 15 mm and instead of framing the whole building with one shot split it up into 2 o 3 shots from left to right or vice versa. take 3 pictures of left side, middle and right side and then merge them into one picture using photoshop merge feature and you might like the results you get and ou get more cropable areas to cut away the distortion and still have a nice wide angle shot.

that always works :goodjob: but with that shot i didnt really do much but shoot and add some contrast to the sky. generally what i do is use the correction feature in Lightroom 3, shooting alot and stitching is alot of work for me Lolol

i just miss the old IA. I understand I am not the best photog. out there, but i do embrace that i have a good eye for it. with it being so easy to get a pro-sumer level camera now, everyone with one eye thinks they're a photographer now. it just frustrates the shit out of me. i can't bring myself to blow smoke up peoples' asses anymore. there's a fine line between someone with bad mechanics and someone that just doesn't have an eye for it. i mean you can look back at my old stuff and the picture may not be the best, but the subject, framing, and concept are still going to be decent. so i don't mean to sound pretentious or closed-minded, but i just miss when IA was full of good photographers. full of my friends that i knew and respected. now it's just a bunch of random ass people that care nothing about trying to produce worth-while photos.

/rant. i'll continue to watch this thread, but i'll be dammed if i don't leave disappointed most everyday.

take a stab at why i quoted all these pics.

hey hey! the thread is photograph a day, so i did. it isnt my best work and i know that, duh. aside from that, it seems like a person has to be an absolute artist to post here (by how you make it sound).. if thats the case it should be titled " post your GREATEST and ONLY greatest photographic work here ".

its not serious to the point to rant about it, but if it will make you feel better i can go and remove all that i have posted previously just for you. :doh:

no, i'm done ranting. i feel better. i just want people to critique people! no one will be a better photographer by having someone tell them every shot they take is 'sweet, bro'.

i just miss the old IA. I understand I am not the best photog. out there, but i do embrace that i have a good eye for it. with it being so easy to get a pro-sumer level camera now, everyone with one eye thinks they're a photographer now. it just frustrates the shit out of me. i can't bring myself to blow smoke up peoples' asses anymore. there's a fine line between someone with bad mechanics and someone that just doesn't have an eye for it. i mean you can look back at my old stuff and the picture may not be the best, but the subject, framing, and concept are still going to be decent. so i don't mean to sound pretentious or closed-minded, but i just miss when IA was full of good photographers. full of my friends that i knew and respected. now it's just a bunch of random ass people that care nothing about trying to produce worth-while photos.

/rant. i'll continue to watch this thread, but i'll be dammed if i don't leave disappointed most everyday.


Where have all the good photographers gone? I am also on HS, FM forum, Filckr, dA,... all get a glance when I am waiting on my customers to respond, then it is on with my day. This place is my least inspirational stop but it is still good to see some peoples efforts at trying to become better. I can't say my work is spectacular but it is always getting better. Flunking out on the camera mechanics by experience does give user feedback with or without a critique. Posting it up for all to see helps you become more critical of your own work.

everyone from my gen. has quit coming to IA because there are so many new young'ns on here that have no respect for anything. they post crap cars, crap pictures, crap feedback. just crap. it's frustrating. i used to LOOOVEE coming here. it was full of all of my favorite things. now it's just a cesspool for garbage automotive.

posting in here offers no critiquing though! every pic is deemed 'good' with no explanation of why.

It was probably a great moment for you when you were shooting this.

It is interesting to try to figure out what is on the horizon as a landscape subject , I do feel as if your horizon is off though.
The lens flair and fire like horizon stands out the most for me as the positive. If the flair was stronger it would be better.
The in focus area on the ground is distracting because it is so busy.

He didn't say it did. Shooting at an angle is legitimate. There's no reason to knock him for it.

It's obviously part of his style - the way he shoots. It just adds a level of surrealism to his photos.

Nice pics iamdallas A little helpful critiquing if you don't mind. :D

The red flower on the left side slightly suffers from being OOF. Maybe a smaller aperture (higher F stop #) would have worked to make the flower more in focus. If it was more in focus then I think it would really make this picture. The focus point was also at the bottom of the flower and may have looked better if focused on the stamen (yellow pollen area). The above edited image is a tad over saturated and the blacks are at the clipping point.

Otherwise I can see this becoming a nice image :) Keep it up!

I personally think some good stuff gets posted in here. I also think that last photo you posted is boring because there's not really any subject matter and it looks like a snapshot. I'm not trying to attack you, just remember that a photo you think is great might not be great to others and vice versa.

It captures the excitement of seeing an exotic car in this way. Very clever. I enjoy the blurred faces of the onlookers as well... it accentuates the focus of the photo well.

3 shot exposure for manual blending with strobes camera left and camera top. The room was so unevenly lit that without the strobes it was a mess... yet it was so big that overpowering the outdoor light was near impossible. It in past I would have just shot this without a strobe, autobracket 3 up and 3 down (6 shots) and HDR merge in photoshop all without strobes. I really did get lazy on this shoot though because if I payed more attention to getting the HDR to grab the ambient light off of the lamps, and then get a even exposure through a strobed shot, the blending would have brought out more of the outdoor view and gotten rid of those hot spots.

Thanks for taking a look! ...now back to my studio construction :) I have got a band shoot coming up the end of this week!

some constructive critique....

watch your white balance if you can... pay attention to other light sources influencing light and color in your image. i assume your flash was in the hot shoe in your camera?

usually just set your white balance to Flash to properly color your subject.

how high was your ceiling in regards to the bunny? try using your diffuser that came with your flash unit (should have come with a basic diffuser at least) and point the flash head straight up unless there is a wall or wall corner behind you then you can bounce flash if you want.


if you shoot in manual or aperture priority mode with the flash? if manual mode then set your shutter to around 1/60th - 1/80th and ISO to around 400 and white balance to FLASH and your image should have a slightly better true color instead of the warm tones it has now.

if you used the flash off camera then if they came with any gels you can gel your flash head with the color of one of the light sources in the room to help properly balance the white balance of back ground/foregrounds.


play around with different angles of the flash head until you get more comfortable with rooms/walls and the flash so you can attain better results with proper exposure instead of the hot spot on the head of the bunny and a dark spot on the belly.


good luck and keep shooting!

Thanks!!! What do you mean by hot shoe? Ceiling was probably 6 foot highter than the bunny? Maybe 8.

Yeah I don't have a diffuser right now, gonna make one of those DIY with the plastic cup since I bought the Speedflash from someone on IA.

As for the ISO, yea I realized my iso was set way too high from other shots that day.

Recommend any good gels? Thanks

I think if you cropped off some of the walkway this shot would be better... if the long exposure starring effect was toned down a little it would help refine this pic with a little more balance. also you could use your contrast control and run your contrast into the negative then shorten out your histogram on the left to get rid of some of that haze overhead.

I love the saturated colors across the middle.

Good that you are thinking critically!

The walk way is overpowering the rest of the composition. It is lens distorted making it bigger and unreal looking while the rest of the picture is not. Also if the picture is cropped higher it will pronounce the grass triangles a bit more for an eye leading effect.

better! now, do you know about the warp tool? you can fix the barrel distortion with it to square up your perspective. in photoshop make your image a layer then go to edit>transform>warp (or perspective/combination) and play around with the layer to shape your image more to a natural perspective.

Good that you are thinking critically!

The walk way is overpowering the rest of the composition. It is lens distorted making it bigger and unreal looking while the rest of the picture is not. Also if the picture is cropped higher it will pronounce the grass triangles a bit more for an eye leading effect.

I liked the walkway in the picture is why I was asking. I think I am focusing on the wrong things when I take photos... like making the photo "cool" to look at but without substance. I'm just trying to develop a better angle to critically analyze photography from.

But yeah. You were right. The cropped photo looks better.

Of course there is no right or wrong... just what I'm doing isn't working. ( I'm just getting into this. )

Thanks.

not as sexy as that... but I wish. I built an infinity wall like a skateboard ramp then I used TYVEK house wrap for the back wall and 8 4x8 sheets of vinyl taped with white duct tape lol. I do get to feel like a champ for having a 14x28 shoot space though.

How do you go aout getting the wrap without the words TYVEK on it like I see at the stores? Sorry for asking so many questions but I've been pondering how to white out my basement for weeks now without spending $300+ on paint, vinyl flooring, etc

role it out logo side down lol... it is a bit harder to put up this way as you will see. 4x8 Masonite boards cost $6 or so... (also cheap drywall) it might be a better alternative but the wrap just went up so quickly with staples, and the wrap is actually a good start to coming in with drywall later for finishing with a moisture/air barrier. My basement is actually more comfortable with the wrap up.

First time actually shooting a car too. So trying to learn how to place the light correctly. Now that I look at it, the hood has a line on it that should be edited out...This pic was put together pretty quickly, so sometimes you just don't catch things lol.

Anyone here know of a good program that will stack images? I've been maually layering my images in PS and thought there has to be something faster! :D

I would just like to say i hate you all. Through 75 pages i've seen some amazingly artistic photos and i wonder to myself how ya'll thought to take that picture. I wish i had my d80 over here in Afghanistan, i'd take some pictures for everyone... I gotta get back into photography when i get back. Fantastic work everyone.

Do you have a P&S? (if not we might be able to put together something for you) They actually can get the job done with some thought put into usage.

Thanks on the words on the work.

okay... I would really appreciate some criticism with my photos lately. I've gotten a little more creative. I only have a dslr on the weekends... for a few hours bc it's my girlfriend's lol. But I really enjoy taking photos.

30 sec exposure time at night. The only light is from the light of the car. No moon. So, just would like some comments.
