ACME Coke Plant
< on 5/4/2018 12:28 AM >

I'm fairly new to taking pictures while exploring places, so I just want to know how I can improve. #9 is my favorite(This is what the edit was for).

1.

9 is a solid image! I would say some straightening and some slight temperature adjustment would make it even better.

Thanks, I completely agree! The same could also be done to #2, which is my second favorite.

Awesome overall, but with the first one some cropping couldn't hurt to align the image with more of the rule of thirds. Also the second one to make it perfectly aligned with rule of thirds. I personally tend to be rather particular with that. (so I understand if you don't agree) Also just make sure the pictures are straight and also a temperature change couldn't hurt in the 9th one. I think this is a really cool location and sorry if I'm being overly critical on these...

No. 9! Very apocalyptic!

It's no problem. I see what you mean and accept it as a way to make my next set better. Thanks for the advice!

Love the images! Like the others have said, I think some temperature and cropping would makes these images even better! Another thing is in image 7, the lights coming in through the openings are very jarring. Play around with your exposure and such to see if you can get a less bright window/opening.

I like .5

I don't know if it's the angle of the building or just the appearance of the building

Number five is cool, I took the same shot from the opposite side that I think looks better. I'll attach it.

Cool pictures. Aside from what has already been mentioned, I think that #8 could benefit from editing out that pipe that's hanging down in the top of it. If you have Photoshop, you can select the area and use content-aware fill. It should work pretty nicely in this case. I think this change could help as the pipe doesn't really add anything to the image, and it distracts from the subject. However that's just my two cents, keep up the good work!

I see what you mean, when I took the picture i thought the pipe would add something, but afterwards I realized that was not the case.

Yea, it's always good to experiment though. Might as well try lots of different shots and see what turns out the best when you can view them on a bigger screen at home.

I find myself doing that a lot. I hate it when a shot looks good on the camera screen but turns out blurry or unappealing on a computer screen.
