[blacknightteg]

2nd pic sucks

tell me a good reason y?

[allout13]

tell me a good reason y?

the angle is unnecessary
personally, I have a hard time looking at the scenerey because I'm so bothered by the fact that I have to turn my head sideways to look at it.

the other pictures are nice

hahahahhaaa fawkin awsome!!!!


1. the WB is trash, here white sweater is blue, im not sure if you meant it to be that way, personally im not feeling it. alot of noise in the lens of her sunglasses. her expression is like "wtf are you pointing that thing at me for" shes looks unconformable....which is not good for a photo

2. landscape photography is all about lines, and making sure everything is straight. this might have not been a good photo with it straight but tilting it didnt help.

3. this would look better if you didnt have a 1/2 of a tree truck to the left and part of a trash can at the bottom peeking into the photo.

i think all the pics would benefit from a lil contrast added. the best thing i can tell you is look online for editing tutorials. look on youtube so you have SEE what they are talking about.

sorry if i was a lil more blunt than you asked but thats how ive always got my photos looked at, except alot harsher than this hahhahhaa

no... i appreciate it. especially with the people part...im not good at taking photo's of people yet at all. i THINK im pretty good with landscapes. and not being able to edit just kills it. but thanks dude.

yeah the emotion the person in the photo is displaying really affects the emotion the person viewing the photo.

how does this photo make your feel....



compared to this one....






big difference right?

in order to photograph models, you need a model release form(for serious stuff, like paid jobs). when i would shoot girls for those types of jobs that havent done alot of modeling i would make sure to get them to sign the model release form AFTER the shoot. why? because its paper work making them sign something that they really dont know about, which makes people uncomfortable. if i did it BEFORE the shoot their emotion during the shoot would be different and the photos wouldnt be as good cause they were just weirded out over this paper i made them sign.

i understand the whole models thing but i honestly was going for more of a candid approach. not a "model shot" per say. i do understand what your saying though.

...

you know how i know your gay.... men ass in peidmont park is your last picture... its practically screaming ass rape. davison... just come out...

[S2KJD]

cool. cant wait for warmer weather!

[Nerdsrock22]

@Robb

Much better.

[quickdodge®]

blacknightteg, are these with a PAS? If you're using an SLR, then I hope to not offend you, but they look like they were taken with a PAS. And the angle picture is definitely not necessary. They are good, clean pictures , it's just that they don't pop. Later, QD.

[blacknightteg]

nope....they were taken with my canon xs....they dont pop cause i dont edit my pictures most of the time...cause im not good with editing. an i like the angle of the secon shot...its not to angled IMO. although I am the person that took it. QD, i wasnt going for mad tyte jdm slr action.

Although I hate angled shots, I can understand where people get the idea for cars. It's like the WOW! factor or something. When taking a picture of a scenery, I would think that you would want to capture the essence of it as a beautiful landscape. There's no stand out reason for it to be angled. I know you took it and you like and that's what matters, you know. I'm just giving you my opinion, dude.

Is this reference to the angled pic? Later, QD.

oh yeah dude no. thanks. im not trying to be negative towards you...i just thought i looked cool like that when i took the picture...it honestly captured exactly what i wanted only those few buildings. other wise it would have caught peices of the others which i didnt want.

[jdmdb8itr]

i kinda like the angled one, and love black and white pics. good job

[r0bb86]

^^^ good stuff.

Also to the OP, Don't beat yourself up over editing...
While editing is a great way to make some amazing photos and rescue crappy photos... you should be able to get some great pictures straight out of that Canon XS without needing crazy editing skills.

[Nerdsrock22]

you should be able to get some great pictures straight out of that Canon

I don't know about that, hoss.

[CHADbee]

I don't know about that, hoss.

Yea State. What's her name?

[Slomaro Z28]

I have to say this just because it's my line of work......Chad that's not the top of a trash can, it's the top of a underground transformer

[CHADbee]

thats cool, but it still doesnt change her expression which in my opinion hurts that photo. if it was a candid shot of her smiling or laughing at something it would be 100 times better. even if it was a candid shot of her looking down being depressed it would be better but in the photo she just looks uncomfortable. it doesnt mean you fucking suck and should never touch a camera again lol but its one of those things that just makes the photo less than what it could be

hahhaaa....i wasnt sure what it was...thank you for the clarification lol
