First venture into photography section

slothmeister · 13 May 2006 at 16:36

Hi guys, i'm always looking in this part of the forum, but have never had the guts to post in here myself, until today.

I feel that i need some pointers, i'm a member of photozo, but haven't had the chance to get out in a few months to take any shots, and i think i've lost the touch.

Sorry if they are a little small, still trying to get the hang of these frames.

Looking good so far mate. 2, 3 & the last one really work for me. Although I would just stick to a simple thin one colour border. Its too compex and doesnt really do the shots justace.

Lovely shots mate, I particularly like "Warning" & "Fishing" - but I gotta agree, those borders are a bit off! :eek:

Apart from anything else, it makes the shots look as though they're going into the page :s

Agree with this. 2 and 3 are really good. I like the rescue one too.

But ditch the border asap

Yup , some lovely shots but the borders are overpowering.

I love the graffiti one.

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys, i wasn't too sure about the borders either, but now i have another opinion i can change them.

Graffiti is a subject that i'm really passionate about, i will post some of these later on.

in future use a slower/longer shutter speed for aircraft - like the heli as then you will get nicer images of the rotorblades spinning rather than a frozen still

Welcome to the photo forum

Some nice pics there, a good debut. "Warning" is my fav. The boarders dont bother me that much. Hope you post some more.

Borders don't really bother me too much but the satiration in #2 looks a bit high. Very nice compositions right through though

Day03 · 14 May 2006 at 23:25

Nice images but the colours are a bit oversaturated.

themask70 · 15 May 2006 at 14:21

I like the ones i can see but the first two are not there :eek:

. Oh well, contrary to what others have said, i love the over saturation

slothmeister · 15 May 2006 at 18:55

well i didn't expect this many replies! I haven't touched the saturation in them at all, the only thing i have done to them is adjust the contrast a little, to make them stand out a bit more, but i will take your views into consideration next time i think about adjusting it too much!
Thanks again.
