Posted by sQualie The recently edited shots are flatter, colours less punchy. It works with the projector shot but the other 2 were better in the original post. From the original post: 1 - Too busy and tightly framed. I would have zoomed out a bit, probably removed the dummy in the back and applied the rule of 3rds. I think the flowers in the front should be in focus too. 2 - Not a keeper, in my opinion. The use of flash and the underside of the benches on the left are doing nothing for me. Had I been there and absolutely wanted a shot of the pins, I would have moved them and staged a scene in a better spot. 3 - Sweet shot with the perspective and leading lines. However, the distortion and angle (looks a bit crooked to me) are taking away from it. I'd use Lens Correction, in Lr (pick Manual) or in Ps (pick Custom). I'd also kill a bit of the blue/purple tones from the floor so it's a bit more neutral. 4 - Not a keeper either. Framed too tight, too busy, subject is kinda lost in there. 5 - Interesting shot, liking the leading lines on the left but would have centred the graffiti vertically. I would have also aligned the graff to the right using the rule of 3rds and angled the shot a bit to take advantage of the wall on the left. My opinion anyway, photography is pretty subjective.

Posted by Leo Neblung Thanks for your input I did not expect such detailed responses, I love it! Anyway I suppose you are right about photography being subjective since I'm really digging the less vibrant photos more, but I really appreciate your opinion |
Posted by sQualie Glad you appreciate. I'm on no way trying to tell you what to do but sometimes getting someone else's perspective helps us see scenes differently and ultimately improve our craft. Like Blackhawk and I mentioned, it's better to shoot wider and crop in post than shoot tight and regret later. Shooting a little wide also helps when you need to do some lens and perspective corrections. Can't wait to see more of your work! |
