hazza1304 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I hate to say it Carl but that processing is disgusting. What's with the OOF vignetting? Makes it look like you shot it with a milk bottle. There are some good angles in there but ruined by the processing and dare I say it watermark. Sorry for the rant! Harry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nice shot Arogon. Here's one I shot earlier with my Samsung Galaxy S2, the only tweaking was a bit of cropping on the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass. Well there is nothing wrong with the photos themselves, just the editing I was commenting on... The first mustang shot on the top of this page is top quality but the editing just does nothing for it!

You can improve your photography a lot through critique though, it's always good to get others opinions on your work.. Even if you ignore 90% of it the 10% you do listen do can have a big impact on your work. It's choosing who to listen to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called trying different things instead of going the normal route. Big watermark there for a reason the last batch I only did a small watermark the next thing I find out somebody has cropped it off and claimed it as their work. Not going to happen this time. The customers are happy enough 37 a4 images sold is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupar Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) OK boys enough of the nasty stuff. Harry was merely giving critique. I would agree that his words are a bit harsh and that his critique could have been displayed in a more balanced manner. I would tend to agree though with his feelings. If me I would probably pull back on the heavy vignette and saturated colours. I can seed that you are trying to get the cars to pop (maybe HDR) style but also applying a tilt shift effect. The tilt shift would be good for a big car scene but for individuals I'm not sure it has the same impact. Carl - congrats on getting sales out of these. I presume it's the respective owners of the cars that are buying. This is good but REMEMBER - these people probably have no photographic knowledge or experience so will probably like most things you produce. If you were to take that batch of images to a panel of pro's as a potential portfolio they would probably give you a hefty list of things you have done wrong. I'm not saying this to try dissuade you, merely to offer suggestions about trying other forms of processing (if needed at all).

Tamiyacowboy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Flutterby because i like them .... 400mm telescope test image 100% cropping ( not bad no chroma/ pinking/blueing) and last off my mate steve ( he gets bolder every day ) steve is a bit noisey, i had to ramp saturation in canon software to max, its then a light bulb light up, was not using pre-set one and maxed out saturation channel ( have found the 350d needs max saturation boost now) but all my new images have more depth and color tone / tone to them. Edit, and question. can you guys tell me what color plumage the bird has, to me the yellow has a green to it ? and the blue sky more a purpblue ( new monitor and its being an anormous hole to calibration ) Edited April 21, 2014 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richhrly Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 the yellow is definitely a bit green, the blues arent too bad - i'd say the darkness is making them appear more purple than anything. Harry, still no straight horizons, but I like #2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Harry, still no straight horizons, but I like #2! Chuckles am going first and second, they both sweet, first i like because you have that exhaust heat haze second is just an awesome car and a nice angle. thank you rich, will have a little play some more, blues are a slight purple here so more tweeking needed.

Tamiyacowboy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 to late already running timelapse tests rich lol hehehehe, using the cheapy like a gopro but not a go pro. anyways, wildlife photography , pick your brains ....... i want garden like realistic setting, do i shoot in my garden as it is, or set up a Living studio area, ie plant up specific areas to cover the urban like setting. add false fences /perches, or go with the usual means plastic and metal feeders. or do i go more natural type feeders like the birdbox style/birdhouse style things. Distance, im shooting with a 90-300mm , tripod based with poslarizing filtering to cut window glare ( not so nice days when windows are shut). so my distance is 14ft -25ft max , and all natural light. the suns always behind my shoulders ( good or bad ? ) so subjects will have sun 24/7 from sunrise to sunset ( golden hour included ) now whats your thoughts on this guys, is it kind of wrong to fake a setting / fake natures natural look. if i use whats at hand now its just a dirty brown wooden fence as a backdrop with a scattering of stinging nettles not an attractive backdrop or setting . ideas / advice would be lovely.

richhrly Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Triggertrap lets you do cool stuff on your SLR, via your mobile. Also does Bramping, star trail, Long Exposure HDR Timelapses, all that good stuff. I think a lot of people fake their gardens for wildlife. That or have a feeding post a good distance from the fence, so you can through it way out of focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
