tried street photography, dont get it.

Sm4him, those LEADING LINES are perfect! :lmao:

On a serious note, is that really your street??? Looks quite interesting.

It really is a street downtown, where I work. We've had over 7 inches of rain the last two days (and it's still raining, although it's actually stopped off and on today). I had to go run an errand and came across this place where the flooding had subsided, leaving only these lines of silt in their wake. I thought it really was cool...but I didn't have my camera with me! Cell phone to the rescue!

Sorry, pix...didn't mean to derail...err, unpave, your thread.

This is a common mistake made by many noob's like yourself. You should be able to see by my example that this obviously should have been done in a portrait crop.

Ill keep that in mind for next time. I really am out of my element here. I was just trying to expand my horizons and try something photographically new to me.

Pix, maybe you should try your hand at this new craze, called "macro" photography. I think it has something to do with pasta?

Hang in there, it's tough but you'll get it. I'm still rying to figure out why everyone says I only take snapshots

My take

 

[thetrue]

Sm, you used the cell phone flash though!!! Jeez! Do me a favor and keep that rain down there, we've ha enough the past few months!!!

These photos would be good for a texture in photoshop!

Ever thought of going pro? I mean with a little work like mentioned before, crop, smoothing, maybe a little contrast and hue/sat work I think these can be gold. Good start.

You need to get away from those small streets and get out on the big, mean streets...the multi-lane ones,dude!!! Take a wider-angle,more-expansive view!!!

The best way to do effective smoothing is to use Asphalt Paver 4.0.

May-as-well take it a step further with roadways for airplanes.

Or my favorite "guy about to puke from too much chinese food in China Town, SF.

I agree with Rick, these are merely snapshots and a portrait mode orientaion may help the photos..

Derrel makes another good point to using a wider focal length.

And again, perhaps a little more context may help.

Just a few random thoughts..

I literally laughed out loud when I first saw this...

#1 - i don't get this one... poor composition, the subject is dead center, white balance is way off, your camera isn't expensive enough

#2 - would mount on my living room wall. well done sir.
