*Flexes* Alright, so I'm going to go through these one by one and nitpick, be forewarned. *Cracks knuckles* Lets get it on.


Decent. I would like this photo HOWEVER the general... composition is off. It should abide by the rule of thirds ideally, look it up if you don't know what it is.

Much to slanted, should have toned it back 10-15 degrees at minimum. Again, rule of thirds, the camera should have been shifted to move the house to the right and show more the of the tree, if you know what rule of thirds is you'll know what I mean.

No focus, nothing catches the eye. Completely bland. Horrible.

Decent, although an attempt at making the picture at least slightly more symmetrical would have been good.

Rule of thirds yet again. Shift the camera to the left, make the left edge of the bush line up with the 1/3 mark. Would make the picture 100x better. ATM its incredibly bland and uninteresting.

It feels like a picture of nothing, not much to say. Really not sure what your trying to capture.

Rule of thirds would make this the best picture you have.

Bland bland bland bland bland. Should have made a focus somewhere, a crow, the tree, SOMETHING.

its alright, not much I can see in the way of improvement, its just not a great photo.

Kids ugly, zoom in more, cut out backround noise. Kid being ugly is probably unworkable, but the others should be done : p.

Boring. Not much else to say.

See above, but you could have done more with the train.

^^^^ I like this one alot...^^^^[/quote]
I'm glad you do, its decent. Shift the camera slightly to the left (Ie picture moves tot he right) to slide it in line with the rule of thirds, and your golden.



My two cents. Learn rule of thirds / more interesting compositions.

Alright, first off, B/W is about equally as hard to capture as color photography. I assume your probably one of those loser scene kids you mention.


Say what? Photography in general is not easy. Sure, if you want to take tourist photos for the rest of your life thats cool. But otherwise what you described is 100% false. The best photo's I've taken / seen are unmodified from capture to publication. Photoshop is a useful tool, but its not the end-all of photography.

[quote=johncootrane;3752824]In black and white photography you actually have to wait for a moment of beauty.[quote]
Also true in colour photography. Beauty is not necessarily always the subject of a photo though.
So does with colour photography.
Not necessarily... I take B/W photos with my digital all the time.

It's not an art so much as a different way of doing things. It's not an art to know photoshop well, and its not an art to know how to develop photos well.

No, if I drive around old cars, does it make me more respected? No, it just means I drive around old cars. Same thing applies.

Cost != Worth / quality, at least in terms of photography. It could cost me a million dollars to take a shot, but then some starving photographer with a 10 year old camera can come and blow me out of the water.

Anyways that's it for the argument killing.

Of course I know I'm not the only photographer. Hell, I barely qualify, my GF's the photographer. Pretty much everything I said I based off opinions and personal preference.

And my opinion is simply greater than yours because I drink milk out of bags.
