I love these shots, but can't help feeling there is room for improvement. They were taken with my 40D 28-135mm IS lens

1200 ISO in a very dim area
1)


800 ISO
2)


400 ISO
3)


4)

i think that number 1 and 2 are way too dark. but other than that they are pretty good i love number 3 its pretty cool.

Maybe a lower iso, flash, and longer exposure on #1, the quick flash will light up the foreground a bit and the longer exposure will get those pretty blue windows to light up nice

well theres your problem = P

kidding obviously

I assume you have the camera on a pod, so try a lower ISO, it will make your pictures less noisy. that would improve them

I love the windows in 01. 02 is too dark. 03 is great--I love the tangle of pipes going on. The face of the drum in 04 just doesn't have enough happening on it, though.

I agree a fill flash would really perk up #1, and you might shoot at a slightly lower ISO to get rid of a little of the noise. As for number two, I would either say fill flash, or light paint the room... Also that image would really be an AMAZING HDR... That is if you have time to shoot it. I love the lighting in the fourth!!!

These are better, and any critique is merely an artistic suggestion, but here are my thoughts... since you posted and I'm recovering from a mean site today... #3 it seems like the focus is in the wrong place to me.. the focus appears to be on the blue thing in the foreground, but my eye is draw more toward the center of the frame. Just a thought (again to each artist their own eye). I think 6 and 7 would be amazing as HDRs, but that's my feeling... Some photographers don't like shooting HDRs, I tend to avoid it, but there are times when you can't get the exposure right unless it is an HDR... Photo one would be better with a fill flash to give that wheel barrow more definition... Anyways those are my thoughts, overall great work, keep working it, I always am my photos...
