Okay, so I just needed to get out of the house today, and decided to take some night shots...I get out of work at 8pm here so its already dark by the time I am out of work.
Not very interesting subjects, I was hoping to see something inspiring on the way to the playground, but no such luck...so here is what I did. Let me know which you liked best and why! Or how I could have made them better! :)

Sorry for the reflections/glare in some of the shots(like pic 8). I need a lens hood(ordered one though!). Don't be shy, tell me what you think!
Wow! I really like all of them. But my top 3 are:
ReplyDelete5 & 6 because I love those types of pics. Everything is so quiet and serene except for a couple of blurred objects. The lion one is pretty awesome, kinda scary lol.
8 I really like how everything is so centered and sort of symmetric. (does that even make sense?)
Well, I liked them all, not really sure what you could do to improve them, don't know squat about it, haha. The one I liked the most is pic number 4, I really like shots from the floor.
ReplyDeleteI like all the pictures but my favorites are 4 and 6, love the texture in the ropes in 4 and the playground XD and the ghostly effect on Sophie, she is so cute, cant give you any advise on the quality of the pictures :P, i don't know anything about photograph.
ReplyDeleteI like 4, i just like that clean look it has with straight lines and an interesting angle. I think 5 would have been pretty cool if there was no movement haha I like the angle. I think the angle shots put you in the picture, the other shots are good but they don't have the same effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! :)
ReplyDelete@Mari - Yes, symmetric in a picture, makes sense. That's what I went for, I even waited for no cars, and setup the tripod in the middle of the road haha
