Looks like your yard work is put off for a week or two.

still feel totally free to cc if you like. Im working on my bw. I have a third photo too, which I didn't post but will if anyone really wants to see it. #2 I think is my preferred. not so sure I like the open white space in the frame but it came better than the others I think.

Compositionally I would prefer it if you had got closer to the wheelbarrow as I find the branches in the foreground distracting. I do prefer where the wheelbarrow is positioned in #2 rather than centered like #1. The colours or shades of grey look fine to me.

I would recommend you to buy and read Chasing the Light by Ibarionex Perello. You can find it on Amazon.

uhh. oh. what do you see wrong. under exposed? Least I was wondering, thinking that.
it was taken at f11 3 sec iso 100 around sunset, cloudy overcast. +.3 expos. I was doubting I went high enough on the exp. it hasn't seen any post processing this Is out of camera. white balance is at 3700.

well. anyway. Here is #3. those above are from me trying to shoot the "correct way". I probably went too low on the iso they seem dim.
here is how I "like" to shoot. How I naturally shoot when im not trying to be "correct"
handheld. iso pushing 6k noise reduction cranked up. f5 1/60 (I generally avoid tripods and waiting for shutters I like the camera in my hands and turn the ap right down hell with depth of field)
im curious to know if you guys like how I shoot naturally over me trying to be correct or do It the "right way". The detail probably isn't as good, not as clear. But I think the photo works. couldn't tell you on the noise. seems okay on a computer screen but blown up might be a different matter. It was getting dark but not pitch black dark.

no, I did not mean the wrong exposure. I was just a little surprised that you have attempted this shot at all. Most experienced photographers would not even bother to reach for the camera there. Not because there was nothing to shoot, but because the light does not allow you to create anything out of it. Taking this shot is like trying to sail when there is no wind. It is like sitting on a yacht when there is no wind whatsoever and asking "So. How is my technique?" It is like trying to pump your muscles using weights made of paper and trying to make sex with a football.

Bearing in mind some of your other posts I just thought that you would benefit greatly from a book that explains how a photographer approaches photography. To put it simply, photography is not about what you see , it is about how the light allows you to see it. Chasing the Light is an excellent book in that respect and able to give you a lot of food for thought.

If I am wrong and you know all about it, then you can safely ignore my advise.

What a great line. It should be all over the net for beginners to find it !

I think it should be in our heads. There is a lot of wisdom over the net but we do not necessary bear it in mind.
Garry Winograd said something similar even thought he did not mention the light: " Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how it looks when photographed" .

I thought that what you wrote sashbar deserves a thread on its own http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...-effective-about-photography.html#post3187461

I don't know all about it. I agree I need to learn more about light. TOTALLY agree. Appreciate the cc. But I think I will stay with my current methodology. I want to adapt to conditions, not avoid them.
