This thread is a no holds barred critique of a photo. Just say whatever comes to mind, suggest techniques, etc, etc, etc, so that the photographer may improve.

Let me start.

(Takes a deep breath)
I'm ready...let the flaming begins.

Sorry, had some problem with the imagehost. Rectified, hopefully.

i dont see any pic

dude where's the pic

I like the 1st one. Foreground frame.... cool

really anything goes? both pics arent interesting enough! 2nd pic is slightly over exposed.

p.s:flaming and crituques are quite differrent

Anything goes.

Pic #1 the angleof the shot is good. Just little under exposed. Can try the shot again when its more sunny.

pic1 -> under expose, composition not interesting enough, carefully see the right hand side,i can see some watermark kind of blur spot...mayb that is due to sun light..but i think should ignore that stuff.

pic2 -> hv to work on the composition as we.. abit over expose on the top left..where is the water source...coz u used slow shutter so i should be over bit 1...

gold3knight, those pic shot by u? i see ur other pic...ur's pic is way better than that.

thank you thank you. Yes all shot by me. #1, was purposely underexposed -2ev if i remember correctly. Shot from within my car on a rainy day, so the marks were water droplets. I must admit that composition is lacking.
#2, my first attempt to capture what clemong_888 did. There were no shade around. I've already dailed down the f-stop (f/36), set to ~-2ev, set to iso100, fixed my pl filter. (Need to get a sunglass for my lens). That's why you could see some gray spots on the water (those were dust on the sensor filter, hence my request for help in the canon fans thread regarding sensor cleaning). as for composition, lacking as well . I cropped it from a larger photo.
also, my skills like is like a wave, comes and goes.

why did u purposely underexpose it? din serve any purpose.

u want to capture waterfalls.. try it on a cloudy cloudy day before it rains. i'm also wondering abt sensor cleaning.. alot of dust in my cam actually.. i just take my time to ps it out. but that waterfall lacks composition...

trying for a gloomy look , obviously failed at that.

haha...2 good 2 b coments d...

too much ps, looked unnatural, also the jpg seemed to be compressed too much
try in colour, and accent the colour of the cage
if the steps could be sharper, then super.

I think all of it is perfect. I like it the way it is.
Thanks for the advice though I dont really need it lol

haha...swtz...flaming on...

Thanks..

WahLauWei! Love the fly !!! how in heavens did u take that picture?

Tamron SP 90 with flash...

Ohh.. I have no idea what that is but it sounds expensive

its RM800 i brough it 2nd hand...

Owh.. its like a camera rite?

its a lense try google it..

Noob here Cant blame me.. Im only 15

will u be joining the STAR photography competition?
there's an entry form in mondays paper.
first prize is RM1K..

i brought it on myself.
must learn to keep my mouth shut with kids nowadays

Learn from your mistakes... Good.. Good..

im 19...4 yrs diff n its nv to late to learn.. ^.^ what competition leh?..i din read newspapper...

thread starter first pic..... try to photoshop the photo. meddle with the levels.
and if u are keen to try, u can use the 'rubber stamp' or clone tool to take away the blur water drops and the few grass in front.

2nd pic, maybe u can try to blur the batu a bit so that the air stands out (change focus). either u can do it on the camera or photoshop it.

just my opinion.

You see.. I also told you to photoshop it. It will definately shine

STAR NEWS PAPER.. I'll try to get the article and stick it up here ASAP..

U should join.. You never know.............. I might win!

I'd try different angles if I were you

A bit to dark at the bottom edges..

the rest is

Theres this competition about Malaysia @ 50 too . For student like u and me 18 and below .

Malaysia @ 50 Photo Competition

it was meant to look like that i think, makes it have this special feel...

Nonblood, how do you actually do all your vignetting ?
most of shots have it..
via your shooting technique ? or PS ?
how does one intentionally creates vignetting without PS ?

shot at night without a tripod.... dint blur already very happy liao...dun think abt exposure... haha....thx...

telling you what you did wrong is advice, comment is just saying nice or not nice.
which one do you want?
your subject is a nice dog. but does not really stand out.

ya goldknight is right....ur dog is cute and nice...but does not stand out...so u fast fast bring ur dog to outside and make it stand and shoot a pic...haha...kidding.....

i think shoot ur dog on some outdoor activities like running, jumping rolling,crawling will be great...coz the natural move is the best for me..

Wahhh ... advice dun take, so garang

hey bro din c this earlier..sry...well it happen by adding more filters..

come flame me..
