Or get PT Lens or whatever that free one's called. Then we'll talk, cause there's some potential here, in the last four, being absolutely destroyed by brutal barrel distortion.

I'm really NOT worried about it, 'cause I never would have noticed had you not pointed it out.
I really like your textures and I like them a lot. Example: #4. When I was there in real life, I would have never looked at that and gone "wow I bet I could capture a really cool texture from that."
I can't really pick out anything GLARINGLY WRONG that I would have done differently...the perpendicular-to-the-wall thing isn't really my FORTE though. I just mainly wanted to point out how epic the textures were in these.

| | | | OK, erm... Poop... here's my thoughts on your photos...
Firstly, a general thought. Post 'em somewhat bigger. Little small images are really hard to appreciate next to big, detailed ones. Also, numbers are nice. And spaces in between the pictures.
#1 looks pretty good if you were going for a straight-up hallway shot, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, it could be "spiced up" a little with a more interesting angle - it's a cool and distorted hallway, why not try adding to that distorted feel by moving the camera a few feet to the ground and getting it either high (bird's eye, to emphasize the warped floor) or low (a really creepy angle, and puts emphasis on the tin roof)?
#2 is a good concept, and a nice wall and door taboot. But I'm not feeling the little bit of side-wall poking in on the top right, and the barrel distortion really makes the door less appealing. Farther back & at a normal focal length perhaps?
#3 I don't like at all. The house is centered, and chopped off to the right. It's not terribly interesting in general, and should probably have been shot landscape or portrait, with the horizon being either 1/3 or so from the top or bottom in any case. Since the grubby grass is better than the boring sky, I'd say top, but that's just my preference.
#4 pretty much rocks the house. Again, shooting at a normal focal length might have improved it because it would have alleviated the barrel distortion, but in general this one is pretty kickass.
#5 does nothing for me. I don't know if that's me or the picture. The composition's not terrible, though putting the subject dead-smack in the center horizontally might be a boo boo.
#6 I dig a lot, it's interesting, pretty well composed, and gripping. I would suggest again that you might wanna slap a normal lens on instead of a wide angle if space behind you permits it, just because your wide angle seems to have quite a bit of barrel distortion; also, perhaps pulling out just a little to add a little space between the sides of the frame and the final socket to either side would be a plus, assuming the wall has enough tiles/white to keep the composition similar if pulling out.
#7 is good, except I would have just moved the camera up an inch or two, so that the bottom board is bisected by the end of the frame, and the top is not right at a gap in the boards. This would also put the lightbulb in an ideal, "rule of thirdsy" sort of place.

| | | | I don't know if you lost some detail when you resized these, but my only complaint would be that they appear to be slightly soft and out of focus. The barrel distortion didn't bother me at first.. but the more I look at them.. they probably could use a quick fix. I like the compositions though.. that mirror creeps me out for some strange reason too.

| | | | Number 1: Good use of color/grey contrast between the walls and the floor. Love the little details. Somehow the floor looks a bit soft, but I can't tell and I like it that way.
Number 2: Not really sure, kinda boring. Good texture in the background though.
Number 3: Too everyday. Probably the weakest of the series.
Number 4: Love it! The red blares outward. Good formal qualities. Might like a little more detail around the second outlet, it's a little blown out.
Number 5: definitely strange, but the shadows near the top bother me. Not sure why.
Number 6: Great formal use. Despite some barrel distortion, I think this one is awesome.
Number 7: More evident barrel distortion. Not as strong as your other formal pieces.
Overall, tons of talent here. Number 4 and 6 are my personal favorites. You have a very good eye for formal photography. Keep it up!
Today is your way out... |
