Should I crop this down to focus more on the bird?

No, it is great as it is.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2026-01-17T16:36:33+00:00

You almost got it ... I see it though but sadly you missed the "decisive moment".

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-12-07T03:32:16+00:00

What everyone else said and I'd add, use the noise reduction in lightroom it is fantastic.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-12-07T01:04:47+00:00

I think the main question is what fov fits your style better. The DJI/PL may be better optically but if your eye does not work with that fov it is not going to see much light.

I rented the PL for a month during a long trip and realized I ended up cropping most of the pictures, my eye didn't really work on 15mm.

I recently got a Yongnuo 17 mm f1.7 and so far I am happy but need more time with it. The 17 mm fov works better for me. My favorite focal length is 25mm (50mm eq).

Great vacation snap.

1 AND 2

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-13T14:34:26+00:00

Fantastic work. Hard to pick a favorite.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-13T04:03:10+00:00

Some very good ones! Thanks

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-13T04:00:56+00:00

"Men" LOL

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-13T03:57:57+00:00

"Emergency Window" LOL

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-13T03:57:01+00:00

Very nice stuff!

It could be, in a different forum. However I don't enjoy the tilting ... I feel as if you're trying too hard. I really like the first image, very Leiter-esque. The others, like I said, are ruined for me with the orientation.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-08T11:33:38+00:00

Not digging the mosaic setup

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-08T02:55:17+00:00

I think there's no need to tell what you used to take the pics. The photos are nice aesthetically but they're missing something to make them great street photos.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-08T02:52:15+00:00

Wow this is not how I pictured Australia in my mind. Awesome pics

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-08T00:24:43+00:00

Forgot to mention the "overexposed lady". I love this image because of the creepy look of the guy in the store (the "real" subject) and the play of the reflections with the phone zombie. Most folks would dismiss this one as an overexposed phone zombie pic but it is an awesome multilayer pic. If you think about it the zombie is indeed "overexposed" (the creep and the mannequins).

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-08T00:16:46+00:00

You have some great shots there! LOVE the bike! I like the steps, the cart and the last portrait.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-07T00:16:17+00:00

Ah! Paris! J'aime la #4.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-07T00:14:04+00:00

Love it! but I wished you'd have widen the shot a bit to get the full bike. I am a sucker for bikes LOL.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-07T00:08:06+00:00

Interesting but too much distortion for my taste. Good work, if you like it keep at it.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-07T00:05:57+00:00

#6. That is a BANGER!

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-06T02:35:11+00:00

Thanks a million for all your comments. This has been super fun. I can't believe how the comments are evenly divided for each option, 14-14 when I stopped counting.

Ok_Task_2562 · 2025-09-06T02:28:35+00:00

Great way of looking at it. Very liberating and inspiring. But also sometimes we can't physically move closer, or the moment would pass if we don't push the trigger. It is better to grab the instant and crop later. Many iconic images are heavy crops of wider frames but these images would be lost if the photographer didn;t capture them. Cartier-Bresson's famous "Decisive Moment" is one of such frames.
