Give me a year and lets see how far I have gotten.

Assholes are not as hard to deal with compared to the wonderful management of 3rd shift Hanchey Hill.

Anyhow, I only have 5 days experience with a DSLR. I plan on keeping at it.

.:Chris:.

Seriously, that's the nicest you could come up with?

This place is more fun when you get more people posting pics, whether they're pro or not. Everyone starts somewhere and this guy seems to have more potential than most! Let's try to put the attitude aside and be a bit more friendly, eh?

Thank you kind sir. I have less than 1 week experience with a DSLR but I must say that even though my shot are not up to par with the more experienced group, I am certainly enjoying my time spent learning.

I believe Michael's intentions are positive. However the way he conveys his thoughts may appear negative. I would appreciate all comments whether they are positive or not. The last thread quickly developed, no pun intended, into a argument that was not of topic. Thus rendering into the creation of a new thread.

The Chimichunga

1.

Over exposed. Composition isn't bad, depth of field is okay, but shitty leaves detract from the picture. I would say raise your shutter speed a stop or two (faster times).


2.


Composition is okay, not great but not terrible. Pretty well exposed. Be careful of reflections. Either shoot in a way to minimize them, or get a Circular Polarizer Filter and learn how to use it.


3.

More car, less everything else. 2/3s of the front of the car would have made this one a lot better.

4.

No clear subject. Are you shooting the sign? the pole? I can't tell because you cut the sign off.


5.

Tighter crop would have been better, but something still tells me this would have been kinda meh.


6.


Depth of field is too wide, (vis a vie, the background is distracting.) again, subject needs to take up more of the frame.

7.



Again, reflections, more of the car.

8.

No subject. Meh.

9:


A little under exposed.

10.

Just a smidgen more exposed would have been nice, but again the CPL would make this better.


10.

CPL, learn to use the Lens Correction filter on Photoshop.

12.

CPL!!!!!!!!! Otherwise good.

13.

probably the best. Do a wider aspect ratio crop, and lrn2photoshop/lightroom and you'd have a winner.

Michael.

Really, Chris? I could have easily gone and said what I did with the guy who always posts EDITED cell phone pics, but I didn't. All I was getting at was that his composition needs work. I didn't say anything about exposure because they weren't too far off...

^ Thanks I dont feel like quoting for obvious reasons. I may invest in a much better computer and I may get photoshop or paintshop.

I forgot to mention that I got out of paintball in exchange for photography. I spent over $2,000 in gear and over $100 every weekend. Thus making this a cheaper hobby lol. Not to mention buy car parts at the same time. I need to move somewhere cheaper..LOL
