The focus wild soft for whatever reason. Like I get your moving around the focus and I like the idea with the cars, its nice, but its super soft with focus, something wrong with your lens?

i have no clue..but how would i correct that? my teacher dosent really tell us much about how to use our cameras

You see how nothing is really in sharp focus in those pictures... that's a problem. something should be in focus. I have two guesses. guess #1 which is more likely the case is your trying to focus on something not within the depth of focus it's the object is too close to the camera. guess #2 would be your lense isnt attached correctly in which case you should be able to notice this but an easy way would be rack the focus and make sure it gets a sharp focus throughout the depth of feild...

damnitzdom AirJordans4Life is dead on. The subject is oddly framed within the photograph to the point of like whats subject. I assume its the man and his dog. Also the horizon is really high in the frame, it's very neutral and dead contrast, the focus isnt very sharp, and the depth of feild is full focus. Not to kick a man while he is down, but you gotta have something going on, maybe not contextually but compositionally.

Sup_

I think its an old lady walking her dog.

Yeah its kind of hard to stare at. I believe you're trying to make the subject stand out
but my eyes starts wondering out to the sand then the brushes/dooms aint helping cause
it makes my eyes start looking up but the sky ends abruptly.

Probably didn't make sense haha. Oh well.

Peace.

[airjordans4life]

^^^yeah it does. thats something i would take to determine the white balance and exposure before actually shooting.

I think if he cropped the person right in the middle or far left, it could do it more justice. That way it could show more of the envrionment then the subject.....like to say that she (the subject in the picture) has a long way to walk. But alot of things could have helped....

Sugahill19 if you want to shoot stuff upclose like that there are number of options to do so from lens tubes that you can get for relatively cheap depending what kind of camera you have or a marco lense that probably a bit more...

There is lots of stuff like that out there, where minatures of various size are used in way to present them as full scale. Hank Willis Thomas is someone I know off the top of my head who does that type stuff but with like action figures if you're interested that sort of photography, i'm pretty sure the series of his I'm thinking of is called like Winter In America...

That is just awesome! Clouds always make panoramics so sick. I think it's cause it gives it such a scale. And how is it that when people do panoramics, they don't get distorted? I can do about like 3-4 pics at most on mine untill they get all weirded out.....

Hi folks,

I've been browsing this thread for quite a while, and it actually motivated me to get a camera. I bought a Canon Powershot S5 IS. I'm still playing around with it a lot, here are some pics I took today, some at home, some at the Yankee game.

Any and all critique would be appreciated.

Also, I ended up decreasing the brightness of most of the shots, is there anyway I can adjust my camera to tape pics a bit darker than it does?

I like this - it is interesting like you say.

What would have been interesting to try would have been some fill-in flash - basically you would expose for the window and then use the flash to give a little extra light to the foreground to even it out. Works really well sometimes - I took some pictures of my boys like that recently and they came out looking like decent portraits rather than the snaps you often see.

Here's a before and after I found which shows how it works.

^ I think you'd need strobes or atleast multiple flashes to evenly fill that room with light and if you just went head on flash-fill you'd probably get like very night club photography type shot and I don't think that would look too great. There are any number of solutions but personally I would shoot for the internal shadows and burn in a little but not much window detail. The whole symmetry and portraiture that the photograph seems to be about makes me feel like window detail is really contextually unimportant, but if you want it there is always shooting one shot for the windows and one for the internal shadows and sort of blending them together. Also when your going for such overt symmetry and very controlled composition I would either crop or frame the image a little straighter...

can you take a look at my pics up there and tell me what you think?

how could the hat pic have been better executed?

on the necklace, I feel like there's a little blurring at the bottom of the pic, is there any way to fix that?

thanks.

^Yeah, no prob...

1st - Yeah part of the image is outside the focal range you can fix that with either a lens tube or a different lens. same issue sugahill19 with it being too close. Otherwise I'm not really sold on the image, like sugahill19 who excuted a similar shot as far as playing with depth of field there was a logic or reasonin her's in that in played into her playing with perspective. your gives depth but I think it could be full depth of focus and it wouldn't be whole lot different where as sugahill19's toy car images the shallow depth of feild plays into the idea of trying optically trick us into thinking little cars are full scale ones...

2nd - I like the idea, just not the execution, it think it would be better shot as a landscape it kinda just breaks of on the left with no rhyme or reason other than thats where the frame of the photo ends. Some where in here recently I saw one of shea stadium (go mets!) that was similar idea, might have been panoramic, but nothing prevents you from doing the same with yankee stadium...

3rd - I'm not huge on fill flash it always strikes me as kind of amateurish like an american apparel ad or club photography... If you're going for just like the vastness of yankee hats I would a: properly expose it. and b: employ perspective a bit more. But I'm not honestly sure of the intent of the photograph

4th - Is kinda like 3rd in that I'm not sure the intent of the photograph. Personally I'm ehh, looking at it, but its not bad it's not super interesting. But by the same token its hard to critique it without its intent. With alot of photos the idea is obivious, but like in class critiques for instance usually the author of the work speaks on it and then people critique so the idea has been established. Maybe its just a snap shot in which case there are exposure issues and feels alittle tight on the composition and super right heavy, again like 2nd one side of the frame seems dictated simply by thats where the frame ends, composition is 4 sided idea... you can't let one side dictate the frame and just be whatever it is with the other side...


I think there is some promise in the ideas but alittle refining goes along way...

NachoBroadway -The first two panoramics are nice. they are what they are and they're done reasonably well so... -The 3rd image is cropped to tight left to right its odd... -The 181th St Subway Stairs photo the angle murders it, in bad way, like double homicide and Jerry Orbach is going to show up to the scene of that photograph. Like honestly no hate, but if you can explain the logic that went into the angle and it makes sense i'll buy into it. But right now, buy or sell, I'm selling that photo hard... also you gotta white balance. -Subway Hall to Path Train to NYC is good, maybe alittle lower, and you can push the contrast a bit. otherwise, nice... -Bus Stop Lamp I'm still alittle zooted from last night but took me a second to figure what that was. I don't know... I'm kinda ehh. something about it has me up in the air, I can't pin point it at the moment -El Gordo in his throne. is way good, but zoom out a bit. like give us the whole mirror shade thing, but still with your little man in focus, we know he is the subject so give us alittle better perspective on the situation with the whole mirror shade thing. like you don't look into that mirror with your face so close to it thats all you can see so, like give us your perspective, but its by no means bad.
