Atlatl posted:that lighting is perfect and the subject is adorable I visited Guam in May and recognized this immediately. I actually like this picture the way it is. Here's what it looks like looking down from that observation platform (where buying a drink is mandatory, but worth it).  My entry:  Taken with a Voiglander macro with the lens cap on. This is light leakage along the housing that extends when focusing and I like the pattern that it creates. ISO1600 noise was annoying.

Followed my own advice. Much happier with this version.

I really like this one. Nothing fuzzy about it.  Is this too cliché of a subject? I will play with the depth of field a bit more in the future, but the window of opportunity was really short and I had to bail for work.

Yeah, I redid it with a wider DOF and it's definitely better. TsarAleksi posted:
Where are the people? When I visited, the place was fuckin' packed.

 I like the color and the abstract feel. I do not like: -the handful of lines of orange/red -the not perfectly vertical lines on the righthand side I am undecided on the imperfect out of focus circles. They don't bother me too much on the left, but the ones on the right are more bothersome.

On the first picture, I would edit (or adjust the exposure) such that (1) the sky is not as overexposed, and (2) the town in the foreground is just a silhouette with little to no detail detail visible.

Fozzy The Bear posted:Ah, that totally makes sense. Its not possible to do what I'm trying. You can't capture detail in a darker area and in the same shot have a bright sun. Thank you. You could probably do a decent highlight and shadow recovery (with a proper sensor), but I find your subject is the sky while the city in the foreground doesn't contribute anything besides the idea that it's a city, so a silhouette with minimal detail would be sufficient. Edit: Good job not trying to HDR the scene! Edit2: Here is my take on a similar scene:   Self critique: I need to redo both with some clouds or fog. theHUNGERian fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Nov 9, 2021 |

I find the colors in the waterfall pic to be overly saturated. I would be curious to see the pod pic with more back-illumination as I find front illuminated leaves to look bland. Then again, if it's just back illuminated the pod will perhaps look poo poo. But either way, I am happy for you to be out again taking pictures.

blarzgh posted:Do people usually start with something in mind? A subject, theme, or something else? I have various approaches. 1. No plan beyond "f/8 and be there". 2. A vague idea. For example: "It's foggy, I'll try to get something moody." 3. A reshoot of a previous picture that I hosed up for the first 4. A scene I noticed as I walked/drove by without a camera. theHUNGERian fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 13, 2023 |

Dealing with poo poo light is a good skill to have. Imagine being at Tiananmen Square and telling Tank Man to please come back in a few hours.
