Is that strong vignetting perhaps a mis-matched lens shade? Your compositional style is what many would call "unstudied". It seems to me that your tendency,at least in these three photos, is to frame people a bit too LOW in the frame, leaving excessive top space. I am not a fan of the black corners. I hope you enjoy that wonderful Sigma 50!

I agree with the low framing. However, you do seem to have an understanding of the "rule of thirds" which keeps your photo composition from looking too "unstudied". I'm also not a fan of the dark corners, especially on the third photo. It could have been a more commanding photo but the vignetting darkens the photo and takes away from the rest of the scene.

Film is a wonderful medium, I hope you enjoy it!

Don't care for the dark corners but I love seeing someone using film. I like photo #1 but find the others hard to concentrate on... Whatever you do, lose that date.

 

[llamatina]

I didn't realize my photos would have the date on them. The vignetting also came as a surprise and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why that happened, as I find it to be distracting as well. Thanks for the comments on "low framing". I understand exactly what you are saying with that and will take it into consideration when shooting next time!

Well , New jersey girl, welcome. I was born and raised in New Jersey.

I like # 1 the best also

It is ok to turn your camera on it's side occasionally, and shoot in vertical format! People are kind of vertical.. so it works!

On the vignetting.. were you using filters? Lens Hood?

Very nice set of wonderful photographs specially the 2nd and 3rd images are awesome.

I like #1...yet i feel if the background has nothing to offer, why not use a low DOF to blur 'em out???

Seeing the vignette, i thought you added them later as a frame.....
Her position in the second image should have been more to right which would make the image more potential....
