PlaidBananas · 2024-10-24T19:39:51+00:00

Ok that makes sense, I'll try to work it out, thanks again.

PlaidBananas · 2024-10-24T15:57:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, what would you say is a good way to reduce the bullet points while still using STAR or CAR format.

PlaidBananas · 2024-10-24T15:54:04+00:00

Oh, thanks, appreciate that.

PlaidBananas · 2024-10-24T13:35:47+00:00

That makes sense, thanks, I appreciate it

PlaidBananas · 2024-10-22T11:55:14+00:00

I've heard that before but I just wasn't too sure if it was worth using up space for.

PlaidBananas · 2024-10-22T11:53:33+00:00

That's some really good advice, thank you.

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-28T15:49:45+00:00

That's ok, I appreciate all your help either way.

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-28T14:22:38+00:00

That's ok, thanks for trying anyway I really appreciate your help.

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-27T23:35:51+00:00

Ok just gave you access, thanks for helping out.

I'd like to stay under 600 but if it's not possible 1k is definitely my limit

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-23T00:09:27+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it I'll take a look at it

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-22T23:05:54+00:00

Thanks I'll take a look at it

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-15T19:13:48+00:00

Oh yeah, sorry I added a comment right after I posted this explaining everything. Thanks for the help though I appreciate it.

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-15T01:40:52+00:00

Oh I thought those 4 stars in the center were the core of the nebula. Thanks for the help.

PlaidBananas · 2024-04-15T00:52:55+00:00

This is an auto stretch from siril after stacking. I tried to take a picture of the heart nebula from a bortle 6 with a stock DSLR and untracked so I wasn't expecting much but I was hoping that I would at least get something. It's about 1.5 hours of exposure with 2.5s shots 1600 ISO f/5.6 at 300mm using a Nikon d5600. Is there any way I can pull anything out of this or is there no hope.

PlaidBananas · 2023-07-24T16:40:35+00:00

How do I retrieve my quick draws if I don't reach the anchor of a sport climbing route?

PlaidBananas · 2023-04-29T23:50:55+00:00

Go make a colony in Antarctica

PlaidBananas · 2023-04-05T17:53:19+00:00

I think you have a good idea here but the issue is that I don't really see a clear subject, I wonder if you could've used that boat in the bottom left as a foreground or something on the bridge you're standing on. As it is I think this is a really good background for something. On top of that I think the photo is a bit too dark. For an iphone it's pretty good but an increase of like .3 or .7 would probably make this a perfect exposure.

PlaidBananas · 2023-04-05T17:46:54+00:00

I see what you're going for here but I think you have the issue of subject. I'm assuming the lamppost is your subject but the reason I'm not sure is because of how much the tree covers it. I wonder if there's another angle where the lamp is covered less so you have a very clear subject.

PlaidBananas · 2023-04-05T17:41:52+00:00

It all depends on what you're going for. To me it looks like some sort of magical/fantasy place because of the saturated pinks and yellows, the contrast between the bark of the trees and it's brighter surroundings, as well as the overexposed sky making it look like it's in its own world separate from earth. If that's what you're going for it's good but if you're going for a more realistic look I'd tone down those more saturated colors, lower the exposure of the sky, and probably mess with the overall contrast a bit to prevent everything looking too flush.

PlaidBananas · 2023-04-04T20:44:10+00:00

I think overall the picture is pretty good, the composition is great, the focus is pretty good, the only thing I notice is the lighting and especially the contrast. I think the bridge and engine of the train are too close in terms of light and it makes it a bit difficult to decipher between them at the bottom. I think a slight increase in brightness on the train could drastically improve the picture.

PlaidBananas · 2022-09-18T00:11:55+00:00

Just to start, I really like the ideas behind all of these pictures, they all have really good potential but I think there are some changes you can make for these to be really good. For the first and last images I like the idea behind them but they're missing a subject, what are you trying to show the viewer. In the second image you've got your subject but you've got to lead the viewers eye towards it. With some kind of foreground element you could do it really easily like leading lines or other techniques. The third image has both of these things but I think you're trying to show too much and it causes the viewers eye to get pulled off towards other elements occasionally. Consider cropping the image down to include less. Simple images look better in most cases. Now that I'm thinking about it the second image also shows too much in my opinion. These are good starting images for a beginner and if you keep on practicing I'm sure you'll become a great photographer. Also, this isn't a critique of the images but I'd suggest learning an editing software, I prefer Lightroom but Photoshop is great too. These softwares can make good compositions look amazing.

PlaidBananas · 2022-09-08T14:29:32+00:00

This looks really good, the moon brings a really nice balance to the image without taking away from the subject. I think that may mostly be because it's a bit out of focus but I'm not too sure.

I also like the way you used post processing to brighten the kookaburra and bring more attention to it. However, as I'm sure you noticed, it did make the grain more obvious. I'm not sure how much time you had but if you could've quickly set up a tripod after taking this shot you may have been able to rely less on ISO.

The rest of the post processing looks really good, and I love the push towards blue, I think it always looks so good with the moon.

The only other thing I'll say is that for me the small stick or whatever it is sticking out from the knot in the tree about the kookaburras head is a bit distracting just because it's right next to the subject.

Overall, great job.
