There's some good lighting. But some sloppy composition. And not much veriety. Seems you have one shot that you take over and over.

Raise your tripod higher. I have this problem, as well.

You missed the focus on almost all of these shots, and it's making them look a little soft.

A little fuzzy for most of them, and the first and the last seemed to be at a bit of an angle. Perhaps find a tripod with a level on it, or fix it in post.

I agree.. they are a bit on the soft side..

But with the size constraints of uploaded images I can't tell if it is more movement based.. or lack of depth of field.

Most of the subjects demanded huge depth of field.. But to achieve that in low light you either need to go real high on the ISO. or real long on the shutter.
And of course going real long on the shutter can introduce movement problems..

So, if you are going long on exposure.. Use the self timer! It gives the camera a chance to settle down in a nice fixed position after you hit the shutter release.. Also gives you a chance to walk away from the tripod.. Footsteps ( depending on what you are stepping on ) can transmit vibrations up the tripod to your camera during exposure..

On the plus side.. I like the subject matter.. and I like the composition. Ok, sure some of the shots are a little redundant.. But you can't change the layout f the building..

I'd prefer the vertical lines to be straight.

I agree. I'd prefer the verticals to be straight up and down personally, in a few at least. You can always tweak them around on the computer afterward if you need to. I think it cleans the photo up if you plan for that off the bat.


...And not much veriety. Seems you have one shot that you take over and over.


I agree with this as well. You have some great locations represented and these photographs show the 'whole picture' pretty well. I refer to these shots as 'documentary' shots as they tend to show the space plain and simple, rather than focus on the possible artistic opportunities. I take these photographs all the time, but only share them if they really pop out or the space is truly amazing. For example, the boxing hall one is great because it really shows the dynamics of a unique space. Don't get me wrong, they all area interesting, but try looking at the spaces differently. Try to get a more unique shot than just the overall view. Take shots from down below, up high, behind a door, through a crack, from the corner. Close in on interesting objects left behind. I think that'll take your stuff to the next level.

That's my two cents.
