Q: The exposure looks good but colors are off A: Check the channels. 3. Q: Your shooting in low light without a tripod or fast lens A: Try turning up your ISO or widen your aperture. 4. Q: You want to try high dynamic range but forgot y0ur ipod A: Set your priorities. 5. Q: You want to back up your images but your too lazy. A: Save directly to a DVD.


Aritlce 2 Summary

The second article I read was about Animal Arrangement by Kathleen Davis. To summarize the article it was talking about common problems with photographing wildlife. The subject is either too far away or too centered on the frame. To get better shots follow the Rule of Thirds, get as close as possible, use wide angles, and shoot from different angles.

Photo Edit

Yeah I got bored of clone stamping, so the bottom right doesn't look as neat as I know I could have done it. But I did use the gradient on the sky and in the water.

So for the original picture I thought the sky looked really fake, because of the color it was. Also the shadow of the railing was pretty ridiculous in the bottom right corner. In general this picture didn't have realistic colors to me, but thats just my opinion.

5 Black and White Photo Critiques

I like this picture, but I'm not totally hooked on it. I wish I could see it in color, because I think the color contrasts would look really nice. I do like how the water droplettes seem to be more focused, while the flower itself is less focused. In general, this is a nice well taken picture.

It looks like the barn from hell!!! The open door and window are kinda creepy, because they are completely black like a black hole. For some reason I don't really like this picture. I don't think it looks very good black and white. Maybe it would look better in sepia, because it would be more of an oldtime look.

This looks really good as a black and white to me. The lighting is really cool, and it helps show the texture in the sand. Me gusta!

I saw this same picture in color, and it looks soooo much better in black and white. It gives it that eerie feel which is great, because I think a good picture should give you some type of emotion.

My favorite picture out of all of them. It looks really peaceful and serene. I like that it is a leading line picture, and just in general looks really good. I approve :)

I like the contrasting colors with this picture, and how you can really tell the texture of the waves in the foreground. It is almost 2 seperate pictures that are morphed into one. You could take the horizon as a picture, or the beach in the foreground as a seperate picture. I just in general really like the shadowing and texture that is portrayed throughout the picture.
