Chicago Spot Hit Critique
< on 2/2/2016 5:48 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER ForumQuote
From an installation made using fire extinguishers found in a Chicago Hospital. Using the ultra-wide 16-13mm on the Sony a7II. I feel like the distortion on some of the shots makes a pretty cool project into a cheesy image. I ultimately decided to return the wide angle, but it was a learning experience. Share your thoughts on the photographs themselves, or the project as a whole.

(1 and 3 are shot at 16mm; 2 is shot at 35mm.)

This is my first time posting here and I hope I didn't mess it up. I understand that this is less of a regular urbex photo kind of thing.

I'm super weird about symmetry and such...so, these bother me because the doors aren't on one of the 'rule of thirds' lines. It looks like it'd be something cool to shoot, but perhaps it's just me...but, I'm not feeling these.

The doors, of course, aren't really the subject. Though they are present. I tried to put more stress on the interaction of the extinguishers to the skylight.

So by this standard, the actual subjects are within the rule of thirds. Though I don't usually adhere to that 'rule' too strongly.

Due to the layout of the room, I kind of had to work with the doors as they were. Critique appreciated though; if I go back to re-shoot these, I will keep it in mind,

I like number three, maybe increase the highlights a little or bring down the shadows a tiny bit and bring out the reds of the fire extinguisher if thats the focus. Certainly cools stuff!

Out of these images number 3 is the best in my view. It's dynamic, well exposed and composed.
