You night shot has a large dark 'hole' at the bottom right side of the photo. Maybe crop it or next time try to compose it so this does not happen.

The pistol does not have an area that is in focus enough to draw one's attention to the area of focus, but I like what you are trying to do.


The beagle photo is precious

nice to try
the night shot not that good at all
need slower shutter speed, or early time.
the last one is cute

thanks

i love the beagle pic.
the only critique for it is that you might fix the DoF. the nose and eyes of the dog are sharp and the forehead and ears and top of head etc are much softer. perhaps try again having the whole head equally sharp.
adorable though!
what camera did u use?

i dont like the composition in no1 and 2 plus i think they are dark,the last one is amazing,the pistol photo i think needed to be shot from a different angle to draw more attenton to it,it also needed to be in focus since it's your main object.

The dog, oh yea the dog. Very warm, makes me want to curl up.

Anytime anyone says "No photoshop work has been done" I usually immediately discount their work. Not doing editing work (even just a little tuning, but PARTICULARLY with night-time photography) means that the image isn't really in a finished and presentable state. You shouldn't show the images that aren't finished unless you are specifically looking for advice on finishing.

Thanks for all your feedback

the shutter was 20 seconds with an ISO of 100 and f-stop of 2 or 3 using 1 18-55mm but yea the picture isnt amazing i just thought i would bring my camera to the location where friends and i were hanging out thanks for your feedback

see this is one thing i need help on because i dont understand.. i feel what ever i do the depth of focus is super shallow.. is there a way of making the focus zone bigger?

i never thought of it that way.. i like Photoshop and use it all the time but i really would like to produce good photos without the aid of photoshop :/ i add that on my posts just thinking maybe some people would like to know..

Shooting in RAW is not just a badge of honour someone gets to wear. It means that you have decided to take control of how the editing is going to be done, sharpness, saturation and so on, compared to JPG where the camera decides. Hence, you only capture RAW data, that has no processing at all.

Post processing doesn't need to be a laborious task. I often spend under a minute on images as I'm not a fan of heavy processing, but I almost ways am adjusting levels, saturation/vibrance, sharpness and other more basic things.

p.s. these pics are all RAW no photoshop work has been done

I recommend you begin learning about the various aspects of composition.

These pics are not RAW, they are JPEG's that have had no post procesing done to them


1:

All my edits are just quickie basics like crop, sharpen, contrast, the black hole lower right was mentioned. More sky or more land, 50/50 is confusing:

2:

Again the big blank area lower right. It makes using the more land part :banghead:

3:first pic i took with my 50mm 1.8 lense its not the best but i like the colors

I did some quick dodging to pull out more detail, the space behind the subject (right side of image frame) wasn't doing anything useful:

4:couple pics later with the 50mm 1.8 its my pup best pic i think

Another crop, some fill light, a vignette, a contrast adjustment:

again tell me what you like and what you do not like if you hate my work say so! but please tell me what i should change or try next time


thanks

I'd find a different night shot location, start learning composition and how to use strobed light.

Composition: The Photographers Eye by Michael Freeman and a very basic, but also very usefull book Picture This. How Pictures Work by Molly Bang.
