C&C please?

D.U.R.R

Hi!

Saw the last photo challenge but missed the dates.. so I put together a couple of my own.. I've been doing photography on a casual basis and really enjoy it!

I'd really like if you could have a look at these pics, and for arguments sake, say which one is better and why!!!

One is otherside- by the Redhot chili peppers,

The other is- Ring of Fire by johnny cash!!

Thanks a million!

Hi

I realise the above is your first post but . .

1. If you are asking people to gp to the trouble of c&c'ing your stuff, its a good idea to produce smaller resized copies and post them here.

2. its a good idea to embed the images so that they appear in the post directly

3. its a good idea to flip them so that they are the right way up.

I am on mobile broadband and gave up after trying to load your first image. Its massive, takes ages to load and its upside down.

I think that was intentional.

The top one - it's difficult to see the detail at that size (god but we're a picky bunch aren't we? ). Do you have a pix.ie or flickr account? Usually when people are posting for C&C it helps to be able to see larger images if it's necessary. I think it is in your first shot, so I'd suggest sticking it up on pix.ie and there's a very handy linkback feature there..

Second one... Hmmmm.. I'm seeing the pots and baskets and all sorts in the background too much. I'd suggest if you were going to set it up again, look ALL around the frame (best piece of advice I *ever* got) and not just at your subject. At the moment it looks a bit like a photo of someone's guitar in a back garden, if you know what I mean. Simply moving the clutter would have helped a lot maybe? Don't be afraid of getting in close and filling your shot! And I'd have gone for a portrait composition, maybe even black and white to get rid of the colour cast from the lights..

What sort of camera are you using?

#1 - Great idea. You got a really good reflection going there. Good idea for the competition too.

#2 - Good idea too. The flaws have been pointed out already. Background is a bit cluttered, lights have flared up a bit too much on you, and it would probably have worked better in portrait.

All in all, good effort. Keep at it, and keep posting your stuff on here. You'll get some great advice to improve your photography and help you enjoy it even more

Firstly, thanks a million for the tips.. I really need to pay attention to backgrounds.. It's something I've been warned of before!

I did actually do a portrait version aswell... but to be hoenst the one I did flared worse...

Ehm both were different camera's, one was a Fujifilm5600, the other was a friends Camera, Panasonic but not sure of the model!

Will definitely set up a Flckr or pix account.. Started it the other day, but didnt get to finishing it! have a few thousand photo's... Some of which I hope will be half decent!

Thanks again!

I like the 1st one, the 2nd is a great idea and will turn out very good, as the lads said just fix the background.
