Pictures to share during my visit to construction sites during my internship.

The clouds are a little too dramatic. Photoshoped?

Nice, 1st pic, could use a little foreground interest(the lower part of the photo) because it looked empty, that's the only tip i can think of, cuz the building compo and the scene's kinda tricky for me.

2nd photo: not much to say about this one. Shud have gone near to the truck and tried different angles, some times you don have to show the whole truck to tell us what it is

Overall its a good attempt. But pick a different time like during the evening or late evening to shoot, the lights by then are more subtle and more often it reveals the texture of the subjects.

meaj: sometimes shots like this can be done in a near overcast day.

the pics are really nice, but overall its kinda dark though, weather might be the problem, but still its a decent picture taken =)

I wanted it to be dramatic.. haha..

1st pic... i wanted to have that dynamic feel from the ground, like what you said with a wide lens... still noob at it... Do i position my camera lower to the ground, or just lower the angle of my camera?

2nd pic, This machine was operating at that time... the big clamp thing was actually moving.. haha.. cant afford to go any closer thus it's not my company's machine... the 1st pic is, but not the second.

Actually they are picture that i have to pass up with my report together, and i have to show the whole machine in the pic. I was too bored, so i planned to do something to it and to share it with you guys..

Thanks... if i have the chance again.. maybe i'll shoot again in the evening or something....

nice photo bro.

did u shoot RAW?

Yeah... i shot RAW. adjusted in Lightroom.

as predicted. hehe.. very lightroom-like. try virtual photographer plugin in photoshop and lucis art to bring out the details of the exposure.

hmm.. virtual photographer and lucis art.. hmmm.... to be honest.. i dun have any additional plugins in my CS2. dunno which one is good which one is bad... usually i just do them manually, but results doesnt turn out that good compared to plugins.. haha..

then, start exploring la

cant now.. have to reformat computer and manage my files... very messy.... but dunno when... damn busy..

Thanks for letting me know about that anyway.

If you want the 'dave hill look', get lucisart.

I found it to be a little ordinary. I'd go closer to get some "different" composition.

Thanks for commenting anyway, as i have already said here.
