Posted by blackhawk Not doing much for me. The sign and it's building are the only thing of interest. I'm not sure I even like that. The road, the trees, the lamp pole/electric lines and especially the building on the left detract from the composition. At least crop out some of the background junk. Subjects like this I pass by unless it has some personal or historic interest to me. Ok it's Peter Pan, but even the sign isn't a stand out... subject, subject, subject! |
Posted by UberDan Do you think this is something I can edit or should I just retake it if there is nothing I can do with what I have? |
Posted by Lola AB I'm not much a photographer either but have been learning a lot since I joined the site. I've found sometimes a location in it's whole isn't that much to look at but you could change up the angle even more and maybe try one from the side of the building shooting out towards the sign (with a bit of the building). Or go lower and shoot the building with a weed or grass in the forefront Or a sideways view of the building or something more close up.... I've been experimenting a lot with different views and angles and compositions just to see what works. |

Posted by Soillarda I'd say the best shot of this place would simply be a close up of just the sign. Probably not even the whole sign, just the name and the one below so viewers will know that it was a doughnut and coffee shop. The only thing interesting about the site is the name--Peter Pan--so just focus on the unique part of it. No need for us to see the whole lot in this instance. I would go across the street and face it straight on, kneel down and zoom in on the sign while trying to keep everything else out of the shot except sky. <snip> |
