September Photo Thread (big pics!)

[Johnny Canuck3]

There are different reasons for taking pictures. I can understand why you prefer that first set. I like them too, but I was doing something different in them than I was in the football ones.

Btw, the football ones are straight. Look at the trees in the football head picture.


The kid running toward the camera, I liked because of the human elements of the picture, the kid's face, the movement on the field, the referee, and the attitudes of the people in the stands. The elements create a harmony for me.

The football head picture I just like. The grainy field shot has my son in it, that's why I put it up. The stuff toy picture has me in it.

The other photos have more 'artistic' elements, graininess, unusual angles, obscure subjects, etc, that make them more acceptable to the 'artiste' photographers. That's fine, but sometimes, I'm trying something else.

Also, I have a relatively cheap camera at the moment, with limited lens ability, etc. I can't gimmick my photos up like I could with a better camera. As a result, I'm trying to experiment within the limits I've been given.

And pie, pretty much anyone can learn to take the doctrinaire artistic photos. All you have to do is read a couple of books.

Listen, IMO, you just need to think a little more about your composition - I'm not talking about any 'doctrines' - just think about the frame more (and those football ones aren't straight). Pull back, maybe, look at the relationship between the trees the field & the crowd with more consideration, etc.

As for the camera, I understand the limitations, but there are ways. Have you any kind of mauual setting? do you have an EV control function. Can you set a more vivid colour option, etc.
eg: Try tilting the camera up to the sky and then bring it down to the scene for a more dramatic exposure etc.

You can make these sort of images more interesting.

I actually do all those things. Also, for example, the photo of the running kid is cropped; many but not all are, so what's in the frame is something I've considered.

You may have looked at the trees and the crowd etc different than I did, but....that's how I looked at it. It's also been cropped, so the things that are in the image, are there because I wanted them there, in the way that they appear.

p.s. They are straight.

Odd, isn't it?

If you look at the body cut in half in the lower right, it's a clean midsection slice.

No need too.
I thought we'd already agreed that this place isn't a just a mutual back slapping club?
I was just expressing an long held opinion and offering serious advice.
JC can take it. He's a big boy y'know.

Yes, I can take it. Pie isn't my first critic, after all. That would have occurred back in about 1983, when I had my first successful entry in a juried photo exhibition.

[Johnny Canuck3]

Nice colour.

 

[Pie 1]

What, no comments about straightness?

Why would there be?

All I can see in that shot is a natural distortion of perspective caused by a slightly wide angle lens being angled upwards ever so slightly.

Do keep up

Yes, that's why god gave us shift lenses.

It is, of course, possible to get the lines straight in a wide angle shot, you know?

 

[Pie 1]

Strange you should post that shot.
I'm having an early night as I have an early start tomorrow shooting a job on a fishing boat...




...with a wide angle lens

 

[mauvais]

I dare you to stand on the bow and watch through the wide angle for any length of time

Besides, I thought wide angle was cliché/passé/bourgeois this week

Well, now you know that it's possible to have it come out straight.
