OK, now seriously. This forum is called "photo critiques", not "post blurry vidcaps from your shitty video that nobody wants to look at".

If you have a serious desire to improve your *photography*, this is where you post pictures, receive critiques, take the information to heart, and learn from it. If you have a serious desire to post some worse-than-snapshot quality screencaps from a video of an abandonment that is basically a joke, this is not where you should do it.

Honestly, dude. Nobody wants to see your screencaps.

This is going to be the harshest critique I think I've ever written on here... but I wouldn't be wasting my energy unless I thought there was clear potential.

In terms of image quality, these are all such utter garbage they just hurt to look at. If all you have is a video camera, you're insane not to take advantage of it and focus on making interesting video clips. If you want still images worth looking at, you should use a still camera.

The subjects are pretty boring; there are already enough typical pics of medical chairs, broken windows, smokestacks, water towers, etc., almost all of which are taken on better cameras.

#1 - Nice sense of balance, but, meh. In this case I would avoid having so many straight horizontal lines going all the whole way across the frame.

#2 - I like the way the light feels, but there is no good focal point here.

#3 - The crookedness and the fact that the edges of the chair are almost cropped out could be interesting violations of the rules, but in this case I don't think they work.

#4 - I love these kinds of shots (tall structures against clear blue sky), but the lens flare and overexposure don't add anything: try a different angle or different time of day. I would also like to see the subject on the side of the frame instead of so close to the middle.

#5 - If the frame continued on a little lower down so we could see the whole tire, this would be very nicely composed, but still boring.

#6 - The frame feels very cramped, and I don't like the way that the water tower is not perfectly vertical.

Come on, post those on the photography section, not the critique section.
If I have to critique them all I'm gonna say is, BUY A REAL CAMERA!
