Guess and critique this
Jul 14, 2012 01:05:17 #
This was taken back in early June at the World Trade Center memorial site - guest store. Can you guess what type of camera I used to capture this shot (no need to get super specific)? The store was quite cramped with a ton of people so I couldn't get the whole subject into the frame. Please critique any and all aspects of the photo. Thank you.

I like your idea of taking a shot of this bike, but not sure that the angle was the best one. Might have been better to either get down low, put a particular part of the bike in focus and let the rest of it recede into the background or get the whole bike in the frame.
I have to be honest and say I have no experience on the subject of photographing motobikes or cars or such subjects, but I think you've got to find a point of interest and drawer the viewer's eyes into the image. The bike's emblem seems to be in the right place for a top right 'third' point of interest and yet it doesn't grab my eye.
Any chance you can take a few photos of the same subject from different angles & upload them so we have more ideas. Perhaps someone else can chip in with an opinion.
This 15 month old B & W shot taken in front of the cosmetics counter in a major department store was the only motorbike shot I think I've got, but its not in as good a focus as yours. i was bemused by the sight of a 1938 Harley Davidson in the middle of the cosmetics area of a store and quickly snapped a shot (without thought of composition, light, detail or anything else at the time)

Hi Victoria1233,
I wanted to take more photos but the conditions were not good in the store. My back was right up against shelving and there were a lot of people in the tiny store. I didn't think my cell phone could capture meaningful shots. I think I really needed a dslr with fisheye lens to frame the whole bike. I would love to return and take more pictures but this was a vacation trip to Manhattan (I'm in California). Thank you for your comments.

It is amazing how far cell phone cameras have come. I blew you photo way up to get a better look at the motor and it was crisp and clean.Hi Victoria1233,

Hi Tainkc,
I was pleasantly surprised when I loaded this picture onto my computer. I had no idea it would be this good. If I had known, I would have taken more shots. Thank you.

I once owned a 1937 Harley. Wish many times I still had it.

Download original, copy to file. Right click on file in Windows Explorer and then click on Details. May be easier way but that's how I do it.

I eventually downloaded an exif plugin to my Mozilla browser. Thank you.

You don't need it if you save it to "my picture". Just click on the thumbnail to enlarge it. Then right click on the photo and click on "properties".Anyone know if there is an EXIF plugin for Chrome browser?
