C&C for this bridge.

[FITBMX]

These were taken under a old railroad bridge about 3 miles from me.
Tell me what you think of this set!


#1


#2


#3
I wonted to try one with the end blacked out.


#4


#5


#6

 

[FITBMX]

That bad?

 

[mmaria]

#3 I like... I would probably take the photo from a slightly lower angle to achieve complete symmetry, or fix the perspective in acr

 

[Actinia]

I like #3 as well. The fact that you cannot see what's beyond adds an air of mystery about it.

 

[FITBMX]

#3 was the favorite out of the set for me also.

I had one I shot from a lower angle, but I didn't like it at all. It just didn't click!

 

[FITBMX]

Forgot. Thanks for the input!!!

 

[SnappingShark]

#5 would be good if it could be distorted to look better angle / symmetry wise!

 

[baturn]

I'd say it's a pretty good bridge as it looks old and is still standing.
I like #3 because its the only one that, standing alone, says bridge to me.

 

[Forkie]

I like #2, but it needs straightening. All except #5 look like you stood in front of the bridge and clicked. Did you try getting down on the ground, or positioning the opening in different thirds of the frame?

What about leading lines in the brickwork taking us from one corner of the frame the other end of the tunnel in the opposite corner of the frame?

Tunnels can be eerie places and there's a lot more eerie to be got out of this one!

How so? Any improvements would be great!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but am very interested in getting better photos!
So how do I do this?
I am still very new to photography and every little bit helps a lot!

 

[Milky]

first and last nothing special.
4 and 5 not centred enough.
i prefer 3 than 2.

Leading lines are a composition tool which lead the eye through a photo.

Here are a few examples (none of these are mine):

The lines in these shots lead the eye from one part of the frame to another. Leading lines can be found in almost anything: brickwork, fences, railways, paving, tiles, telegraph wires and lines of pylons, bridges, anything! They are always useful in photographs of things that have length or depth as instead of the eye simply landing on a shot, the eyes instead naturally follow the lines to see where they lead. If you can put a subject at the end of a line or somewhere on the journey along it (perhaps joining forces with the Rule of Thirds), that will add another compositional string to your bow.

Tell the viewer where you want them to look without having to tell them!

Hey this is great! I will have to head back to the bridge, and take a few more photos with what I learned here!
