 |  | First Adventure With New Camera
< on 2/15/2011 8:04 PM >
|  | | | Hey guys, I just got my first dslr and went to Marblehead over the weekend with it. I found some really awesome places, while they aren't exactly abandoned, I think they fit in here. All comments welcome, wanna know what you guys think.

|  | | | I'm not much of a photographer, but in the one with the blue stones, I would have liked the pile to more wholly be in focus. You could probably pull the camera back a few inches to get a longer focus.

| | | | #1 is my favorite, actually. It has really good use of DOF, rule of thirds, and color.
#2 is way underexposed and kinda busy.
For #2, #6, and #7 I can't really tell what it is I'm looking at. This could just be your style, but you might consider trying to show some more of the context of the subject.
In #10 the blurry object in the foreground's a little distracting but I like the perspective.
Edit: Also, for #10 it would probably have been better to focus on the ground, since that's where the eye is led.

I guess I should probably write something down here. |

| | | | Thanks for the feedback. 
btw, I actually two versions of #6.
is this one better? it shows a little more, but I think the blurriness is kinda distracting.
Also, I dont really have a "style" yet, since I'm just starting taking pictures with a non point and shoot camera. So I'm just experimenting with different things.

| | | | This is pretty much my personal preference but I do like that version more. I think the perspective is cooler and I'm fond of the blurry aesthetic. You could crop it in a wee bit, maybe.
And please take everything I say with several grains of salt.

Blurring part of a picture is something photographers do to isolate the subject from the rest of the picture / background / etc. So unless one blurs the subject, it's really not distracting.

| | | | They all look underexposed to me, some slightly, some very much so. There is also a very "First Adventure With New Camera" feel to some of these, like you were more just trying out your nifty new shallow DOF capabilities than actually taking a shot because you saw something interesting to capture.

I actually took a lot of pictures, maybe I just picked the wrong ones. But I don't know, I guess I just thought these looked the best but that may just be my stereotypical image of what a good picture is. Also, I dont know if I am doing something wrong, but it's kinda hard to not have a shallow DOF.

| | | | Yeah I tend to agree with Harlan on these.
Also,"Cluttered" spaces are pretty hard to shoot as a scene so to speak. When you're in a totally trashed area, pic one or two things of interest and shoot those.
Its much easier to look at ONE item instead of 100 crammed into a small space.

| | | | again, thanks for the feedback
and price, I probably won't be able to get on the roof again seeing as I got up there because someone forgot to take down a ladder on the side of the building, so I doubt it will still be there. But if I can get up there again I definitely will take a picture for you.

What lens are you using? Close up the aperture a little.
.... Although. the only one where you may have misused DOF is #8. You're not isolating anything and its really distracting.
.. and the second #6 is way better. In the first #6, I would make the horizontal line straight.

| | | | Im using a 28-80mm lens. And my aperture is usually near the smaller side, unless I purposely make it higher, so I guess it has something to do with the lens it self?

..... By smaller do you mean smaller number?
To sharpen more of the background you want to make the number bigger. This makes the lens opening smaller. Thus, cutting out a lot of the unfocused light.

| | | | Oh shit, wow, I just realized that my camera shows the F-Stop, not the aperture number. Oh god I feel dumb. Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty sure this will help a lot.

| | | | yeah I know this. But I thought that it showed the literal aperture, like how much it was opened. And since they are opposites, it totally messed me up.

C'mon man, I was telling you that f/stop and aperture size are inverse in chat this past weekend :/
