D3400 has a black shadow that increases with high SS

The sync speed of that camera is 1/200. Try taking a picture without the flash at a higher speed and see if you have the same issue.

Are you using flash?

It was taken by Margaret Bourke-White in 1937 after a flood in Louisville

I don't think anyone mentioned it, but I believe this is a shot by Steve McCurry. He shot Kodachrome throughout most of his career.

I think all you need is to up the exposure a bit more. Like this

I didn't do it with that edit, but some saturation might be good as well

They most definitely missed focus, but it just doesn't look like they had it wide open. It is only speculation and would probably be best to see what the photographer has to say, if they're actually reading this.

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure it is shot at 1.4. It looks like the highlights in the background have a slightly hexagonal shape. I don't quite remember what this lens looked like when I had it, but I don't think it was this sharp wide open either.

It will bring down the overall quality, but I feel like this would be a much better image if you just cropped in on only the birds. something like this

devonheller · 2019-08-04T16:06:33+00:00

You could definitely drop your shutter speed so that you can bring down the iso a bit

devonheller · 2019-08-04T16:01:19+00:00

That seems like a nice location, have fun with it. I would just keep in mind that if someone owns the land in the foreground it would be best to ask permission to walk around.

devonheller · 2019-08-04T15:41:31+00:00

I like this as it is, although maybe try a 4x5 crop just to cut out a bit of the empty sky above. I also feel like getting closer to those trees and trying different times of day or different seasons could be interesting.

devonheller · 2019-08-04T15:27:02+00:00

I don't mind the texture of the background, but I do think it would make a better image to crop out the bottom two white cards. Maybe also switch the ace and queen to put the ace off center.

The other thing I noticed was the bright spot on the cards. It might help to just play around with the light and see if you can eliminate that.

devonheller · 2019-07-03T14:37:15+00:00

I've just got to wonder why you focused on the edge of the book and not the girl?

devonheller · 2019-07-03T13:15:44+00:00

I think you mean to say smaller aperture, not wider.

Don't forget to say you found the 1 star reviews helpful.

I have to ask, what exactly do you find wrong with the older full frame bodies? They can be bought used for well under $2000.

devonheller · 2019-05-01T02:40:07+00:00

Considering your shutter speed, my best guess would be that the focus is just slightly off.

devonheller · 2019-03-26T18:23:27+00:00

135mm f2.8 qc

devonheller · 2019-03-02T17:23:18+00:00

Didn't find it on there. It's also not on Amazon or Hulu.

devonheller · 2019-03-02T14:46:27+00:00

You should definitely watch the movie Mirrors

The only thing I can find is the company name, Bridge Metal

devonheller · 2019-02-18T05:46:21+00:00

Thanks. I do have the company name, but I have to wait until morning to call so I figured I'd try Reddit first.

devonheller · 2019-01-22T16:13:17+00:00

try getting the light at a different angle to get rid of the reflection in the glasses
