A couple from Saskatchewan

I'll start by saying I am a free lanced amateur photographer at best, but I am curious of what I can look at to improve my shots.


Shot number one, Basement of Hangman's Hospital.




Shot number two, stone grinding wheels at a brick plant




Shot number three, Rosetown Pioneer on a cloudy day


These are shots that I am rather happy with, however I want to know what areas I can improve on.

#1 - looks great - maybe darken the room, let the shadows creep in a bit to emphasize the shaft of light.

#2 - i'm missing a focal point

#3 - love the color and the simplicity. i'd just move the building up in the frame. right now, it's too evenly divided.

The pioneer building is great.
a stronger composition would
make the picture as cool as the
place.

too much going on in shot #2. try moving closer to something and focusing on that (maybe I should say concentrating on that instead...lol)

shot #3 is okay... learn the rule of thirds. I would have gone back on a sunny day and shot it using a polarizing filter from straight on. Super blue sky, bright yellow roof and red sides with the green foreground would've looked good.

Brighten up the grain elevator shot with software, or as stated before, reshoot it with the sun and polarize filter.

The basement shot might do with bumping up the contrast a bit which will bring out the ray of sun a bit more and darken the shadowy area a bit.

The one in the middle does nothing for me, sorry. Nothing to look at really. What is there is a bit overexposed at the bottom. Perhaps go in close for a macro of the grinding wheels or what have you, macro shots of textures can be interesting.

Its great to see someone from the flatlands out exploring...

All men are cremated equal.
