2 photos for C&C Please. Taken Thanksgiving 2011

[gsgary]

Quite frankly I'm getting sick of posts where the author complains about not getting enough C&C or not getting it fast enough and them bumping their posts all the time. It's great if you get C&C. Better luck next time if you don't. Life is like a box of chocolates and so is TPF. AFAIK nobody here gets paid to respond to posts. People need to realize that and be grateful for the responses they receive. I would love to get C&C from cgipson1, KmH, MLeek, Derrel, bigtwinky, Bitter Jeweler, Schwettylens, BigMike and tirediron (to name a few) on every single photo I post but I realize that it won't happen and that's fine.This is not a stab at photo guy specifically but I'm seeing posts like this all the time. They're especially annoying when the author has less than 10 posts under their belt.

He has more posts than you

I get what's being said here. I don't think she is comparing herself in anyway. I think what Phoenix is trying to here is she (she I think I anyway) is tired of people who have been on here for 5 minutes and acting like they're owed some kinda special treatment and attention.

I was pulling Phoenix's leg

I think this is where the term "Noob" becomes an insult. The insult does not come from the quality of the photos, but more of a certain attitude. We all started somewhere and most of us are in fact "Noobs". I see Noob used as an insult when someone who just joined, posts photos, feel entitled to a certain amount/type of attention, then bitches and moans 5 minutes later when they have yet to receive the responses they feel they are so worthy of. (this is a general statement in way reflecting the OP)

Thanks Rose. I'm a "he", btw

I had a 50/50 chance on being right with that and I still fail. Lol.

*sigh* Whatever, y'all.

The first photo is ok. It has a centered composition works because it shows the changing perspective that you get as you watch a road fade into the distance. The only thing that I noticed is that the buildings are fairly dark when compared to the sky. People's eyes usually gravitate towards the brightest part of an image, whether it's the subject of interest or not does not matter.

The next one suffers from a lot of flare. The flare overwelms the rest of the elements in the image. The lights farther down the road kind of melt together.

Thank You rexbobcat for the nice C&C. At least I am trying to get some experience at photographing different things at different times.

I reread your post gsgary and I am not after shooting that 1 building and nothing else since that is one of the ugliest buildings in town. I am after a nice looking through / up town shot. I plan on retaking some of these shots another time but not right now. I am going to hold off until after the new year has begun.

Try to have a more open mind. It's interesting what 'ugly' can become under the right light.

i'm hesitant to post c&c on some photos as i am new myself.

but, im coming round, since i have an eye, my opinion on a photo is still valid.


that said. i like #1, but i did see the shadow too.

#2, i would like better without the flare. did you use a filter for the flare, or was it just the shutter speed? maybe a longer shutter and lower iso next time?


also, as thereyougo mentioned... maybe have a more open mind when it comes to shooting. you may surprise yourself. iirc you said you were trying to get better..

i read on a blog or in a book, that some of the best shots people take are when they go shoot something that someone else suggested.using your eye, but their idea. rather than just shooting the same things that your normally would.

wherever i saw it, it mentioned having someone tell you one thing to shoot each day. and then going and shooting it from as many angles, viewpoints, settings, as possible.

You will be suprised how good it could look, here's an small office on an industrial estate

get in close and it looks a lot better, the lighting is not fantastic but if i see something that could make a good shot even if the lighting is no good i will take a shot for reference
to go back, but i havn't been back yet

Closer shot

I live in South Wales in the UK, and Port Talbot is known by many rather unkindly as Port Toilet because of the steelworks. Now are steelworks attractive? Not normally, but while this shot is no masterpiece, it's a different take on industry

That one was digital. need to dust off my film camera again soon, have lots of Reala 100 waiting for it as well as PanF 50. Just need to find a decent lab as ones I'm using rush the developing somewhat
