Coober Pedy trip
Jul 9, 2015 06:38:01 #
G'day guys,
I'd like some opinions on these photos I took during my trip to Coober Pedy with my dad. In particular, the first photo of the sunset with the truck in the foreground. It was hand held so I know a tripod should've been used.

Nice shots. I like them all. Nice lighting.

Thanks Jerry. I love the shot of Dad but I think I missed a great opportunity with the first shot. It was pitch darkness and used ISO of only 2000. The population of William Creek is 3 so it was very dark. I think maybe I should've cranked up to the Nikon D610's full potential of 6000! lol.

1. I would like to see a vertical orientation here to include more sky above the moon and planets. Also possibly include more of the truck. Similar to photographing buildings straight-on, it can be more interesting to have a bit of "side" for scale/and less of a 2D effect. (and as you mentioned, tripod :) )
2. I really like the look of intensity on your dad's face and the composition of this. The lighting is interesting and offers a much better mood than if you'd used flash.
3. A lovely abstract with appealing light. I might crop out the airplane (?) piece at top since so little of it is visible already.
A varied, appealing series!

What Linda said.:):) I love this set with your Dad in it! It will be special to look at in time. You might try a little shadows on the truck picture to see if it will drag out more of it. I would try it for you but my computer is not letting me edit for some reason and it is running really slow?

Thanks Linda.
1. Take a look at this one I took just before using a torch to light up the truck. A little more side but not sure it works.
2. Believe it or not this was Dad's first attempt at pool at the age of 73, hence the intensity on his face! lol. I hate using a flash and deliberately chose darkness and blacked-out shades to bring a little focus on the subject. I've included a shot of Dad with the flash and a lot more intensity! lol
3. I wanted to include the wing of the plane to give it a little perspective because being in the middle of nowhere I thought I needed something.
Your thoughts?
Phil

The truck shot is looking quite dark, but could be the way the thumbnail is displaying on UHH, or my little chromebook.
Got a good chuckle out of your second "dad" shot!
I agree about using the plane for perspective and scale. Perhaps if you'd been able to catch a bit more of the wing?

Thanks Erv. If can get the computer to do want you want with it I'd love to see it. Really need some guidance.
Cheers

Just in case Erv doesn't manage to get back to you, this is roughly what he was referring to. How much lightening you give the truck is a matter of taste. it could have been lightened much more than in my edit.

Don't a high percentage of the residents live underground there because it's so hot?

That's right, Flip. About half of the housing and some businesses are either underground or dug into the sides of hills. Had the best sleep in our 2 bedroom apartment we stayed at. No light and no sound!
