weekend frolic...C&C

CubsFanMike · Nov 16, 2008

So I went out on a jaunt this weekend and got some cool pics (or what I thought were kind of cool.) Here's a couple:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Let me know what you think! I'm working in GIMP (no PS yet), and was wondering if there was any way to sharpen the images up a bit besides just raising the contrast.

I think it is late, and I may be delirious... But that first shot looks to me like some little wooden creature hurling a battle cry while shooting a bow. Or a bazooka or something.

That said, I now love that first image!

Um, now I'll try and regain some dignity, or at least demonstrate that I am capable of reasonable thought.

I think that you found some interesting subjects, all with great texture. However, I would try and loook for more interesting compositions. The angles seem a bit dead-on and static. Except for the wooden-creature, which you captured at a perfect angle which is probably what lead to it's existance.

Haha I see it too...and #1 is my favorite.

I like the secluded feel of all of them. #3 seems to be a bit tilted, not much, but just a bit. The last one is a bit boring to me, that just my opinion.

Good shots.

I like all of these shots, with my least favorite being # 3. I think this could've been a really good subject, but the composition is lacking. The angle is just too straight on and everything is too centered up to make it an interesting picture imho. 1, 2 and 4 however I think are all very good shots. I am thinking about setting #4 as my desktop background for a while! It's a very calming nice shot.

I like all of them but #4 is prob. my fav. Cause I love bon fires, camp fires what every you may call them.

The first one is awesome. Something I would definitely hang on my wall, and thats generally what I am thinking when I am out there taking photos....The other ones are really cool too, especially the bonfire--that will bring lots of fun memories to a lot of people i think. Well done =)

Thanks for all the comments! I thought #4 could have been a lot better myself...I think I'm going to go back and reshoot it one of these days. I just got my D70 about a week ago and love the thing. #1 was actually a wooden cross in a cemetery someone made...REALLY creepy!!
