cuboy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 So I haven't been shooting much or long, but still playing around. please critique some of my photos. these are more of my favorite shots I have taken. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Link to comment
cuboy Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 All pictures were shot using my Canon XSI and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Lens. #10 might of been a nifty fifty, can't remember. Link to comment
Lalani Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice work! I'd say that 1 and 8 are my fav people shots, but mainly because they are more candid. Some of the others have some distracting elements in the frame, but not too bad. And not to be harsh, but I don't get 7. Link to comment

And not to be harsh, but I don't get 7. #7 was the cocktail area of the wedding (after everyone went inside and the bar was moved inside too). I just liked the lights hanging in the sky. 4-9 was from the wedding. I was in the wedding, not the photographer. just some side pictures I took. Thanks for the tips, I will try and move around to eliminate/limit any background distractions. Link to comment
cuboy Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 So I started to try and shoot in RAW, with a tad of post processing. Please comment and critique 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Link to comment
Lalani Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 11. The exposure needs a little tweaking.. the white on the building is really blown out. In RAW processing, play with the 'recovery' option and exposure values. 12. Very nice, I like the compo and the exposure is just right! 13. Classic cloud shot, but the blown out sun in the bottom corner creates a problem... soft corner. 14. That would make a great shot if you did a longer exposure. What was the shutter speed? 15. Motion blur I would retake the shot with a faster shutter speed and try to do a HDR image. 16. Horizon is skewed. Crop tool would fix that. I would also crop the empty space on the left side out.

I sort of liked it on #16 Link to comment
jeremai Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 is it bad to hve the horizon skewed? I sort of liked it on #16 it generally makes people feel queasy, and that gives an otherwise good photo a bad 'feel'. try fixing the horizon and compare the two, you'll see. Link to comment
Lalani Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Yeah, sometimes the skewed horizon works if it is clearly deliberate, but in that shot it just looks like you were a little off balance when you took the shot. Link to comment
cuboy Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 how about these ones 17. 18. 19. that girl in the blue kinda ruined the picture for me. Link to comment
Withers Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 17 has a ton of potential, it just needs some PP loving. I would raise the exposure and then play with levels to get better contrast, then I'd probably do some dodge and burning to recover the highlights in the sky (since raising the exposure will most certainly blow them out). Also, #1 is an amazing shot. I love it. Link to comment
