Posted by yokes Building on blackhawk's comments, which would echo my own, I'll add: What are you looking to create here? Are you looking to document, or are you looking to be more "artistic"? If it is the former, then then you get a lot more leeway. If it is the latter, then you have much to learn (not a bad thing. Learning is good), and asking is a good step. - #2: the book in the lower right corner is distracting and should have been moved out of the frame. Its too new and glossy for the look that I think you were going for. - #3 This photo is a bit of a mess. The subject is uninteresting, the composition is ... I'm not sure what. The framing is wrong. This one is likely a write off. - #4 I think this is the best of the set. I like its sparse simplicity and that the parallel lines (the walls/edges of record cover) give it structure. |
Posted by niteratzclub Those are some pretty great points too! Yeah, I'll keep a mental note of all the basic steps you listed, Blackhawk. And yes, I'll have to check out some YouTube videos. I'm sure there's something out there for total beginners. Ground up! Thanks again! |
Posted by blackhawk Read the cam owners manual until it's memorized. Any terms or techniques in it you don't know or understand, google. There are many skills and pieces of knowledge to learn including how the cam sensor works. The better you understand the hardware and optics, the better you can exploit their strengths and work around the weaknesses. This is an excellent website to learn from: https://luminous-l...tion-introduction/ Explore it and this one for lens and cams: http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/index.php This site gives detailed knowledge of how CMOS sensor work and valuable comparisons: http://www.clarkvi...rformance.summary/ These are top shelf sites that will give you volumes of useful information on techniques and gear. |
