nice pics,only thing I will say barney is use a lower ISO as the whites are too bright.after photo editing you can always make a dull photo brighter but you cant make a bright photo darker
Thanks for the advice , ( after photo editing ) I only crop or turn saturation up Do not use photoshop or Lightroom , IMO using those two don't really make you a better photographer , they help the picture but don't really help the person takin it .
yeah thats true but can help if you take a real spare of the moment pic and the levels are off like the crash pics I sometimes catch at the road racing lol.
Awe come on Al, Don't beat yourself up about it Look at it as a modification that went wrong. Does look nice though don't she
very nice, only thing I would say is the shot with the cacti is slightly over exposed but still a cracking shot non the less. good job
Street photography, my fave! That bowls image would look great as placemats or an image in the kitchen dude.
I've printed some similar that were encapsulated and fixed under glass work tops. It was really effective.
Few from a trip to the same place a while back - DSLR not compact Tried a bit of a theme of 'Colours and shapes' as the above demonstrate - feedback appreciated as some of those I have had printed work really well
I love these familiar objects cropped tight pictures, like the jars and spices and Steve's bowls. I'd experiment with cropping them tighter and tighter to remove anything extraneous to just pull the observer into the subject so that it hovers on the edge of real and abstract. Just the polythene bags, just the shirts, just the baskets. Back in the day I used to carry a 35 mm slide mount in my camera bag and would use it as a quick finder to judge the crop. I spent an expensive trip in a gondola once hanging over the side shooting the rotting bottoms of the palazzo doors in Venice and heard somebody asking Jeanette what I was doing then hearing her in her best exasperated voice say "Oh he's only shooting textures."
Good idea about the cropping - the ones I printed were cropped like that and it def. works better - maybe I'll have a bash at that and place them side by side with the original. Really should get that camera back into use and replace the standard kit lens which I know is poor and often I feel the images are not pin sharp as they should be.
