I've not posted many photos this year, but here's a random selection that never have been posted afaik ! Feel free to berate, acknowlege or whatever. I'm not happy with some and some are interesting to me because of the content rather than them being good photos.. c&c thx

you've got some chromatic aberration going on around the edges of that last picture but good set all in all

I don't think there is anything up with the techinical aspect of the photos but to me they seem exactly as you have titled them "Random Photos"; there doesn't seem to be much thought gone into the composition of the photos. It's if you had just walked around, pointed the camera and pressed the shutter hoping for the best.

Maybe worth reading up on things like the rule of thirds to help your composition?

Puz is one of the old crowd who inspired me back in the early days in the comp. I'm sure he knew what he was doing. Probably something along the lines of Lomography. The last one is just weird

Lol, now that was bizarre. Most of those photos hit the rule of thirds lines. They may be random but there are compositional attributes in there. Some don't hit but are still pleasing to the eye. But most hit a thirds line, bloke, girl, dog etc. Random photos, random incorrect critique. Such is life.
And most ppl in here would say I was a compositional freak

Ah a voice of reason

Ok, I stand corrected!

Maybe saying composition was a bad choice. I was trying to give some constructive feedback rather than just say "Sorry, your pictures don't work for me" but that is the case I'm afraid.

I like all the photos. I would love to take nice shots like that.

<Tonyyeb hits google for some photography tutorials.... making sure he looks at the rule of thirds>

Ah now that's ok, a fair comment. Each to their own and at least you took time to comment !
