A Grave Critique

The typical Graveyard set. Opinions? Not exactly my thing, but a friend wanted to do it so I tagged along and took some shots.




A shallow grave.


Some of us will never fly again.


Reaching out.


Hey yeah you, fat ass. Not interested.

Personally I think you could do better composition-wise. There's also a good deal of blown highlights, but it looks like these were taken in some pretty harsh sunlight. What I find helps me with composition is finding a nice spot near my subject, sitting down, relaxing, and just examining how everything looks. I look for things that converge, lines, contrast, nice tones, and anything that draws my attention. Then I eventually wake up and try to frame my shot based on all those things. I find it really helps to be relaxed. If you're stressed out, sweaty, or preoccupied I find your compositional and technical abilities suffer.

Also check into the whole rule of thirds and all those boring things too. Burn them into your brain until you don't think about them anymore. One thing you've got going for you however, is unique perspectives. It's nice to not see everything straight on from eyeball-level for once. Also shoot more HP5.
