Answer 1

Overall I would say you are heading down a good path. The first two are the best. The water spiget and Quicktrip need some work. I think focusing on one object is always a little problematic because it could easily look a little boring.

The door is my favorite, take more of that subject and play with more closer shots and get the texture. Black and white is another possibility, and I think the window could look better using black and white/sepia.

The green on the copper water spiget looks good, and you could even play with the colors and make the picture really bright. I don't know if the out-of-focus effect is intentional or not, so in any case invest in a good camera you can afford if you haven't already.

I am not an expert, but I can say that it looks very promising and it seems you have a passion for what you do. Never stop taking pictures because all creative artists need to "show up" every day, whether their work is good or bad. Motivation is the key. Best of luck :)

Answer 2

You know, we don't know what kind of camera you were using, what your experience level is, or your inspiration. So consequently we only have a subjective opinion we can offer. If these pictures appeal to you, then to you they are good pictures. As far as objective standards, they aren't focused very well, the compositions are questionable, and the subjects, to me, are ho hum. They are exposed well. I thought the second one, the one of the shade in the window might look good as a stark high contrast black and white photo, but that's just me. Most photographers, would tell you that when composing a photo, fill the frame with your subject, and minimize your background. Perhaps this might be a general rule that you could do well breaking. To me, your photos are too tight on the subject, and a bit wider field of view, and a little more information in each photo might do a bit better for you. Never stop your craft. Take all the photos you can. Experiment, study, learn, and enjoy. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Looking at all of them I think you do have an over all story. But there's a problem...each photo you cropped in waaayyy too close. There is no context in each photo. Take the blinds...I see an old, unkept, rundown lifestyle...you should step back so we can see the wall and its surroundings. Maybe a person? Same for the door. The cup on the leaves...well...you should get down way low to floor level, scoot back so we could see the "house"? (I assume this cup was taken at the same location as the other photos?) We should see that cup in relation to its surroundings since..its just a cup. Cropping close on a subject is good to get rid of empty space. But if you need to tell the story, by all means, scoot back. =). The faucet could be interesting if you don't want its surroundings in it..you can make it abstract by getting in real close (Macro style) I mean close close. I don't know what camera you have but I think you should work with a SLR or DSLR (interchangable lenses) You'd be able to mess with the strength of your depth of field. Furthermore, some of your photos were out of focus. Something, the main subject, must be in focus to draw our eye in and create an appealing photo. Its fun stuff really if you're into photography you should do some research. Happy shooting! =)

Answer 4

this is urban landscape and you have a good eye for composition but the focus is soft on all four and the light is fairly flat.

read, look, read more and always look.

keep shooting !!

shoot transparencies and you'll learn more about proper exposures because processing will not average the results

study "peak lighting" theories

read the Zone 6 Workshop book

read Ansel Adams series: The Camera; The Negative; The Print

keep asking questions

Answer 5

I like the 3 one

Answer 6

No they aren't very focused. And by focused i don't mean like out of focus. I mean like they are confusing...their are just pictures of random old things but the way it is set in the photo is just random. They have no story. Although the last one is interesting.

Answer 7

I feel like I am being set up here...I liked the last photo alot but was a little confused by the others...but then I don't keep up with the latest trends in photography either. Obviously, you have a vision~

Answer 8

I don't think they are in focus . The photos to me are not interesting but I am sure if you like them, their will be people who would too. Keep trying, don't ever give up. Try different setting on your camera if you have them.

Answer 9

Thing that are out of place.

Metal door handle on a old wooden door.
