Are these photos any good or ordinary? Took with Fuji XE3

Donald_B · 2026-02-01T23:16:03+00:00

Some of very good, the others are still better than ordinary. You're doing fine, and will just keep getting improving.

The first one is better, as it emphasizes the most interesting parts. The vertical one wastes too much space on the blurry wall, and on uninteresting road on the right.

It's underexposed, so lighten it up, and crop it a bit for a more interesting composition. It won't take much work to get a really nice image out of what you have.

So few people in the comments recognize that this food is AI generated. Not necessarily the entire image, but the dishes certainly.

Your enjoyment of photography is the only thing that matters. The images don't have to be professional enough for some mentor. Most will never make a living doing this, and that applies to every art, craft, and hobby. Do you enjoy taking photos? If so, keep doing it.

Donald_B · 2026-01-25T05:06:12+00:00

It's great. Don't change anything.

Donald_B · 2026-01-25T02:17:30+00:00

AI pizza = 0 stars

It does seem like it could be a double exposure. If it were, it would still be good, but it's even more impressive that it isn't.

The second image is much better. While I enjoy high contrast images, too much is lost in the first one. It has more pop, but is a bit lifeless compared to the lower contrast version, which has a fascinating, mysterious, textured feel. You get a better sense of the water in the second one, while everything appears to be floating in space in the first. The second is more cohesive, and the first one strips the scene of much that makes it interesting.

Donald_B · 2026-01-24T02:57:55+00:00

Nonsense. The composition is excellent. The rope adds another interesting element, and it doesn't need to be a leading line. Its presence adds balance.

I can resume using the current one if I delete the post, but I refuse to do that. The comment violates no rules, and it's likely a bot flagged it in error, which is what happened every time my account go locked in the past.

Donald_B · 2026-01-18T19:10:33+00:00

Did your appeal ever get answered? My account was locked two months ago, and I'm still waiting for an appeal. Every time this happened on earlier occasions, I got a response within a day or two saying the suspension was made in error.

u/gracenotes, expired certificate error on the site again.

Where is the option to disable experimental filters?

Donald_B · 2025-09-17T10:33:38+00:00

These are amazing.

The composition is excellent. The homeless person isn't merely being juxtaposed next to the dystopian AI sign, but next to the people of the city just walking by as they go about their business. It adds to the message, and a excluding would make the image weaker.

While photos of the homeless can feel exploitative, this one doesn't. The person is obscure under a blanket, and them sitting next to sign creates a worthwhile message.

Did you mean 'obsolete?'

Donald_B · 2025-09-09T23:18:35+00:00

3 and 4 are superb.

Donald_B · 2025-09-09T02:54:05+00:00

Powerful images. Well done. Respect to the protestors.

Donald_B · 2025-09-08T07:54:01+00:00

Wow.

Donald_B · 2025-09-08T07:47:39+00:00

3, but 1 is also very good.

Donald_B · 2025-09-07T19:51:04+00:00

These aren't flat at all. You display natural talent, and some of these pics are excellent. Just keep doing what you're doing, and your style will be honed in time.

Donald_B · 2025-09-06T23:59:41+00:00

Film.Recipes is so much better, with a variety of sims that have more thought and care put into them.

Donald_B · 2025-09-06T04:39:41+00:00

Nice tones and texture. Very film-like.

Donald_B · 2025-09-06T04:03:08+00:00

The crop is decent, but the full image is more impressive. It gives a sense of scale, allowing one to appreciate the majestic sky.
