- Photos NOT OK to edit
Went to the highest point in Alabama today to test out a new camera with some landscapes and wanted to get some advice about composition. I like these photos, BUT I feel like there's something a little off.
With the first photo, I feel like the house is too small and a better angle could have been used. As for the second, I feel like if I used a smaller aperture I could have achieved maximum focus and the top part of the waterfall wouldn't be out of focus. I also feel like the sky should have a bigger part in the photo.
Any sort of feedback and criticism is welcome so I can get a better understanding on ways to create a more appealing photograph.
If it helps, these were both shot with a Nikon D800e using a Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 lens with a CPL filter, sturdy tripod and manual focus. I used live view to focus in a little tighter on the house and on the bed of the waterfall.
In the first shot I used a little selective coloring, used multiply and soft light in the blending options. In the second shot I just used a little selective coloring.
Thanks a lot!
