My first real experience with UE photography. I have an Instagram and live in Central NY. Taken with a Canon 60D DSLR, usually with a 18-135mm telephoto, 10-18mm wide angle, and a 50mm f/1.4 for the last one. I've been taking pictures for a year now, but I'm pretty happy with my results. Tear me apart folks (and message me if you're in my area too).

1.
"Five Days After". A Bokeh at a farm complex I was guided into. I feel like there's a whole world in this picture.


2.
"New Dirt". An American flag buried on the side of a three story Greek revival mansion off the side of the road. Found while searching for an open door.


3.
"Wheel of Life". HDRed to achieve that high dynamic range, this image is taken from the inside of a silo. You can see the rings of moss growing where the light penetrates.


4.
"Abandon Window". Sunset at the complex. My guide holds a hatchet and a record he found in the remains of the roof. His brother sits on van seating with an inflatable Chiquita banana.


5.
"Getting a Hold of Yourself". My boss takes a minute on the bed of some long-gone woman. Birthday cards and bank statements line the floor like layers of sediment.


6. "Morning of August 16th, 2015".

Nice work, you should be happy with the results. I really like the black and white, creepy. I could be wrong but I think bokeh more refers to out of focus points of light. Nice shot however it's classified. ;)

Well done Slitgod, overall I enjoyed your photos! Not too much glow or "clown vomit" the only suggestion I may make is to go a little easier on the saturation levels but on the hole your use of line, composition, and subject matter made for a unique viewing experience. I especially loved the DOF in the first one and the subject matter of the second. Thank you for sharing!

For one year at it I'd say you're doing pretty well! I wish mine were like yours after a year. I'd say the saturations are sometimes a bit much. Play around with them and see the different impacts if they're toned down or if there are some alterations to the color balance. Your compositions are pretty good too so thats a good base to go off of. Depth of field can be your friend if you do it right. Keep it up and I look forward to more of your stuff.

Awesome shots. I like the last photo especially. I love the figure with the gas mask - didn't even notice them the first time looking at this photo.

Did you encounter any wildlife at the house in the last two photos? Once when I went there to take pictures there was a skunk roaming around outside the entrance. Thankfully was not sprayed.
