Ahh... the S3100. I own one of these too, but I only use it for scouting now adays. It's not a very good camera for this kind of photography, it's really picky with it's light sensitivity. As for the pics:

Number 1: It doesn't really hold my interest. The color scheme is too bland and the glove doesn't look too sharp.

Number 2: I'd like it more if it weren't soft. I really like the beam of light on the left side of the photo, nice touch!

Number 3: Yet again, you're hurt by softness. Did you use a tripod? The glare of the piano finish really hurts the photo as well.

Number 4: No real subject. I see what you were trying for, but it doesn't carry very well. I think a lower angle looking up at the chord could make this a really interesting photo.

Overall, I'd work with keeping your camera steady in low light situations and pump up your contrasts a bit to make things pop. A lot of UE photography for me is texture, it proclaims age and decay. I think you're losing some textures in the flatness of the images. Keep shooting and good luck!

The first three seem a little out of focus, but I still like the moodiness of the shots. Four is the best, I think. You have a very individual angle and I like the door to begin with. Good job, it would be nice to see more.

Me: Why is there snow on her car? ... Wait a minute, that isn't snow at all!

yeah, and the autofocus needs a lot of light to do any semblance of a good job. these images were never photoshopped, give me a little while and i'll have the edited versions up.

i like the title of the thread... at the drive in is god. the lighting seems off in them not really making anything pop out. i like the glove but it needs defined more. maybay play with your exposure time.

Not a single fuck given...

unfortunately, you really can't play with the exposure on the s3100. but i do have negs from the same shoot in almost the same place that are in the process of being printed.

The glove is definitly looking better, but the other one is still doing nothing for me. The subject isn't apparent enough. It looks more like you were taking a picture of the wall. I'd try reshooting this one. Good work!
