Some Pre-Lightroom JPEGs for General Critique
Nov 10, 2015 17:39:37 #
Theses are from Myrtle Beach about a year and a half ago when I was first getting a good start with my D610. I have for the most part been working on composition since that time, getting more and more advanced in all the other aspects of photography as I feel comfortable with them and feel like I have read enough to try them. So these are just some early attempts that I was happy with and wanted any opinions, good or bad.

Wonderful set, 'Boardwalk' is superb.
Thanks, Debbie. Boardwalk is probably my favorite from that whole trip.

Welcome to the forum! Your skywheel close-up is the most appealing to me. Interesting perspective and great energy from the colors.
I like the last one a lot, too. I wonder if you could have stepped back just a bit to include the curve of the walkway on the right side?

Thank you very much for the input, this is all really helpful, it's interesting the different things that people notice. Definitely a beginners mistake on the last one either when I took the picture or I could have mistakenly cropped it too close.

General statement: Great photos.
Details: I would do some front, left, right crop on Peaches Corner so as to play with geometric forms. Too bad the edge of pier sidewalk is trimmed off. (prob due to shift when triggering camera. Try inverting camera press against forehead and use left thumb to fire a shot.)
Compared to the rest of the interesting photos the "Skywheel-again" is a so-what? photo.
You deserve a star in the middle of your forehead for achievement. Obviously you have been reading the free extensive academic work...

Nice job on all of these. I also really like the first Boardwalk image and the first image of the wheel. You have definitely done your homework.

Thanks for taking a look and for the assessment. I haven't read that, but it looks interesting and I will definitely be reading it as I get the time!

Thank you Andrea! I'm sure you have many of your own from Myrtle Beach and the NC beaches. I especially like the Outer Banks, Beaufort, and Wilmington.

I actually have not been to Myrtle since I started into photography but I have been to the Outer Banks and Wilmington. My avatar is actually one of the stallions from the Corolla herd wild horses.

1,5,6&7 are quite good. The rest are OK vacation snapshots.

If nothing else, I have gotten quite good at getting plenty of decent vacation pictures in this pursuit of perfection! I have started going places alone now to be able to spend more time on the photography.

Interesting tidbit of information! I just figured it was your horse or one nearby. I have been to the Corolla lighthouse but haven't seen the horses. My favorite place on the Outer Banks is Ocracoke.
