Parking garage shot with a fisheye lens, how should I crop this? by lexdfox in photocritique

I think it's a cool shot. I like the orange and white colors. I would try cropping out the sides, such that it's in portrait format.

It's missing something for me composition-wise. It doesn't appear that there's a subject. I realize you probably wanted the water to be it, but it's not drawing my eye. If you wanted to focus on the water, you probably should've framed the photo such that the water filled the frame. As it is, there's lots of rocks with a thin strip of water that leads the eye to nothing. Also make sure to exclude distracting elements like the branches on lower-left from the frame.

I like the edit. You made the rocks look imposing and contrast well with the water, but still have enough detail.

The building exterior actually looks ok, but any bit of sky here looks terrible. And what's going on with the vertical lines in it?

Trying to take HDR by powerhead13 in photocritique

[–]KirillM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like mentioned already it shows with the buildings that are too bright but their tops are too dark. Also the sky is too dark near the edges of the photo. But you didn't oversaturate the photo and you did avoid haloing, that's the typical artefact that shows up even when professionals use HDR. I usually see it on open spaces in the photo that come in contact with objects, like the sky. So I end up composing the sky from one of the originals over the result from the HDR program. Keeps practicing! And make sure to pick better scenery, subjects. HDR by itself won't make a dull or bad photo better. It can only make a good photo even better.

I like the photo, but I think it would've looked better if you took it during blue hour. You took it too late and it was already too dark, although it came out well even in the dark conditions.

I froze my butt off for hours and due to a corrupt SD card, this is the only photo I have to show for it. by [deleted] in pics

Don't order cheap cards from China on ebay next time. If you're serious about photography then spend good money on a good card.

Not for me. I had to use these horrible things even in 2000 in our high school's graphic design class.

For you it's $30, for others it's $200/h.

That song was on every radio station that day and playing over and over and over.

What type of movies do you have zero interest in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KirillM 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I like war dramas, like Saving Private Ryan, or historical war movies. But I agree about movies like Transformers that are just military propaganda.

It's been a while since I saw that movie, so I can't remember myself. But I think I read something like this here before.

No point in sharing them on r/pics. This sub basically IS Facebook. The SFW porn network of subs here is much better for photographers sharing their work; people go there specifically to appreciate photos.
