hey guys, been here for a while now and want some feedback on my photos. here are a few of my best. been into photography for a few months now and starting to get into it, as well as some minor photoshop cs2 work.
please tell me what you think of these shots-especially you photography buffs and even you photoshop gurus.
still an amateur at best so feel free to rip into me as i'm trying to get better at photography.
thank
ps:
the first shot was a still, where all the motion was created with blur in photoshop.
the second was some enhancement of the sky and desaturation of the rest
the third was some minor color enhancement and erasing of some objects in the background

 

these 3 were basically right out of the camera
i am using a Sony Cybershot 3.1 megapixel point and shoot
btw, i'm saving up for a nikon d50....mmmmm

so what do ya think?

 

Nice Pics Andrew!

Better than any ive ever taken thats for sure!!!

 

pretty sweet pics... clear... Nice

 

So i click on the thumbnail... to get a slightly bigger thumbnail?

If these are your best shots, post some medium-res versions so we can see the detail.

 

agreed. and try not to photoshop too much especially if you're not quite sure what you're doing. it will take away from the picture instead of adding to it.

 

nice...

 

like the last picture.
but i think pictures are bit small after clicking your images

 

Not bad!

 

nice pics

 

Nice car and pics, love the overlays.

 

^^^^thx guys. i actually took the overlays off just looked ok on the BS and looked really crappy at night, because they are the lighter overlays

 

I'll refer to each pic as 1 thru 6.

1. Photoshop blur is done pretty good (i'm no photoshop expert). The car itself is underexposed and seems to just blend into the surroundings...it doesn't "pop"

2. I would of saturated everything not just the sky. I like the framing.

3. Pretty good...I'd like to see more of the front lit up

4. Try not to do extreme angles. Makes people's necks hurt tryin to look at the pics. Also would put the whole headlight in the pic and not cut it off part of it.

5. Similar to the other one. I can see some dirt on the paint.

6. I like this one!

Overall I think all the pics could use some sharpening. A friend of mine shoots with a D70 and he enjoys it. I think you'll do well with a D50.

 

I don't get that "hold the camera at an angle" technique. It just makes me crane my neck.

 

thx silvernole
thats what i was looking for.
i'll keep practicing.
looking to get a d50 hopefully soon
wonder if a pre or post christmas sale would be best to buy one??
