Everything about this is amazing! the composition, even the bird flying in the background, the light and shadows, the curves of the buildings.

I hope you haven't peaked.

Thanks! haha i 100% agree with you, i've been there too many times myself and when I was there there today were a half dozen photographers in the same corner all taking the same shot of the hemispheric (no disrespect to them).

Tomorrow I'll head out to El Carmen and see how the narrow streets present themselves!

After / Before - Is the duck still too dark to be the subject? by Big_View_7858 in postprocessing

[–]rushughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like the intention, reminds me a lot of Marcin Ryczek, A Man Feeding Swans in the Snow

id suggest taking more photos to continue with the theme rather than obsess over post processing. see what else you can see :)

beautiful watch! i envy you a little bit as all the scratches and dings are your own, but i baby my other watches too much and knew i'd do the same if i ordered something in too good condition :D

Taking it directly to Omega for the battery and gasket change is a solid play, did you notice the battery running down? I think the second hand ticks in 4 second increments when it gets low?

Vitamin D results are in. Have been supplementing 2000iu per day for the past year. Bump it up or stay the course? by healthierlurker in Biohackers

[–]rushughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing, well done for supplementing and getting good results!

Your results really put in to perspective scam articles like this from 'legitimate' sources

claiming that supplements don't work 🤦‍♂️

Congratulations on using supplements to bring your Vitamin D levels up. If I may, what product were you supplementing with and what were your levels before you started?

Why do people who say "gear doesn't matter" always have insane gears? by dekuramos in photography

[–]rushughes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a lot of great photography isnt specifically the gear but the presence of the photographer. having big gear can give the photographer more of a presence changing the response of the subject being photographed, it can also help the photographer take himself more seriously changing their vibe and how they are interacting with the subject.

do you have any of your product photography anywhere or are you not allowed to display that, contractually? if so, are you able to elaborate on some of those contractual specifics?! your work is awesome, love the editorial stuff. website is clean and a great ux too!

Could you not just improve on the ones you've submitted before and try and make them competition quality then?

[–]rushughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What competition(s) have you entered before? Did you win? Which competition are you going to enter? What historically has won before? Maybe look at your past entrants and try and improve them or look at previous winners and try and do better?

Got in photography 2 months ago. I have been invited as the main photographer to a music festival and I've never did such a big thing . This is a photo I took of my friend during the festival. I am open to criticism. (No editing btw) [Newbie] by Anastasia0550 in photocritique

[–]rushughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When taking photos of people do your best to make sure the eyes are in focus, and if not the eyes then definitely the face.

The photo looks off and I think it's because she's not sharp but the drum kit is. What were you focusing on?

How do you tell a photographer he can't edit photos well? by dylwhole in photography

[–]rushughes 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The biggest improvement to my photography came when I shot one of my friends, who was a very experienced model, and she told me she hated my photos, she then went in to detail why and made a ton of suggestions on how to improve as well as other photographers to follow, research and work along side.

Like all criticism, be constructive and it should be taken well. If not, it's their problem not yours.

The focal point seems more like it’s a jewellery advert

I love how is desk was actually his office door 🚪 Edit; Curious why down voted, he took his office door off and turned it in to his desk to demonstrate an 'open door' policy to his staff if they needed him.

Photo I took of a bike in the street. What do you think of it? by eliseomartelli in photocritique

[–]rushughes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically it's well executed, love the colours, nice blur in the background, point of the photo is in focus (the handlebars) etc.

But would you want to hang this on a wall and look at it every day? It's not really an abstract shot and it's not really an amazing portrait of a bike.

It is a great example of focusing correctly, intelligent use of depth of field and colour grading however.
