  • My relentless pursuit to do decent editing.

    Please don't try to church it up and please don't get too technical with your terms. Just tell me what you like and what you dont like and how I may go about fixing it.





















    And the lols I came back to.

    But I'm no pro.

      #1 doesn't do much for me. It's nice, but I don't like the left weighting of the composition. The building is weird too- the oversided doorway combined with the distortion makes the windows look super tiny and the doorway normal.

      #2 is nice. The editing doesn't do much for me, but the composition is nice, as is the exposure. Some dodging on the trees would help IMO.

      #3 is cool. I dig. With the right post, it'd be a very nice shot.

      #4 is meh. Does nothing for me at all.

      #5 has the right idea, but nothing really to look at. No real point of interest.

      #6 is nice. I like it. Very "california". It's a little lacking, but a nice image nonetheless.

      #7 looks strangely distorted.

      #8 is in need of a different crop. More on the building, more zoomed in. In its current state I don't really know what I'm looking at.

      #9 is a cool biulding, but as a photo is has room to be improved on. Again, shoot it straight on next time. Get the bottom of the building in frame too.

      #10 I like. No real complaints.

        Thanks Mike,

        I guess a better asked question would be, pictures and composition aside, is the editing contributing to or detracting away from the quality of the photo. I know they could be better, I am still at the point of not fucking them up.

                    I like colour. Add more colour?

                    I tend to play with saturation, brightness/contrast, shadow/highlights, and exposure>gamma.

                        I compress in PP before they go to photobucket.

                        I compress to 1024x6--

                        One of those shots has a 300% crop on it that makes it look kinda crazy.

                            Thanks.

                            They are a pretty good rep. I am on the quest for real LMs but I suck at wheel hunting.

                              Looking at those first photos, there's one thing you need to do when photographing buildings. If you don't have a perspective-correcting lens (most people don't and couldn't afford one), you need to use the perspective crop feature in Photoshop. Some of those photos were pretty good, but I was more annoyed with the crooked buildings, so I didn't focus on the rest of the photo.
