^^^ Looks too "proish". You need to amature it up a little.

[Pswirley]

Looks to full. Any good amateur like myself would have had half of the bottle gone before attempting a picture.

1st one- don't have any other beefs than that the handlebar isn't fully in the photo. really nice shot.

2nd- Cars a little dark compared to the background IMO, a little bit a qustion of taste though. Some bits of the car are beautifully lit, play around with it in photoshop some more maybe?

Red Label? Mike, I'm dissapointed.

1st- Already been said but the handlebars should be in the picture. Try to find a non conflicting background if possible, and use a larger aperture to separate the bike from the background. Nice pic other than that :alright

2nd- Composition needs a little bit of work, if it was me I probably would have taken a couple steps closer and moved a little bit more behind the car to lessen some of the empty space above and below the car. The car is a little underexposed, dodging can take care of that in photoshop, along with cloning out some stuff such as the exit sign.

looks good to me, maybe a litle **over (edited) exposed, and could give a little tilt to the camera

[Travis C]

Tis' a nice shot, looks a little bit overexposed to me, at least in most areas. The front end is pretty sharp but gets a little fuzzy towards the back. The only way to fix that is a higher f-stop and/or a faster shutter speed. I don't recommending tilting the camera :stickoutt

[87e30]

Nice shot.

All I did as far as editing goes is cropped the pic a bit. C&C?

[SeanDub]

Fuck, my watch needs to be polished

[B Rod]

Ya it does. That picture is cool though.

[Pswirley]

I am decent at the photography part, but struggling with editing. Here are my contributions.

I'm digging the sand shot for some odd reason.

[Travis C]

I like the sand shot a lot also.

[Dr.AK]

Some kind of spider web thingie.

I dunno why, I like it quite much, even though I shouldn't because I don't think it's very good.:confused

[dinanm3atl]

Damn Casey. Like those 2 broski!

[Pswirley]

Thanks Halston. I took the sandshot during our playdate at the beach.

[SeanDub]

We need more advice to be posted up...

If I had any... I'd be the first to give it, trust.

Weenies for Monday, from my resent camping trip to the grand canyon:

I need to see the Grand Canyon.

I need to see the Grand Canyon.

Lets do it

Hmm...Summer trip? I'm down. Meanwhile, I went crazy playing with the colors on these pictures.

Let me know what you think.

[M.Burroughs]

Brad, my suggestion is to never do that again. :)

[B Rod]

Are you referring to me(Bryan)? If so, :rofl.

[M.Burroughs]

Bryan, Brad, both close.


I'm sorry, now I feel like a douche. :(

I sat and thought about it for a second... couldn't decide, and then thought "b-rod, brod, brad... yeah, brad". :D

[B Rod]

Haha, its all good. So, weren't a fan of my pro edits? I didn't realize how fubar'd the shadows were until seeing them on a different computer. I have no idea what I'm doing though and thought the colors looked cool.

[B Rod]

No editing, just pictures.

[Pswirley]

I like the picture and I need practice editing, so I took a crack at it.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/DSC_0531.jpg

[B Rod]

Nice. Best part is thats taken from the balcony from my apartment in south San Jose. I'm moving in the next few weeks and am definitely going to miss the view.

[B Rod]

How about this one??

[Pswirley]

Shoot later in the day and with the sun at your back. You did neither in that picture. The shadow gives you away and takes a lot away from the car. Plus you have a lot of blown out highlights. Its distracting.


Think composition first, then start to work on sharpening your pictures and making settings adjustments. I have been shooting for 14 months now and composition is still the hardest part, it will ruin a perfectly exposed and sharp as a tack picture. It can also save a picture that may not have either of the latter.

[B Rod]

Cool. Thanks. I mainly got bored and just tried with something I had. There are two reasons why I didn't use the passenger side. Wheels were turned the wrong way and I have a molding missing. :D

[Pswirley]

Thats when you have to say, damn, I need to turn the car around and make sure the wheels are correct.

Here's a few of my nephew and niece:
