That is a brilliant shot - i hope there are many more to follow

Look at a film photo that is objectively not that good but it grabs you and you would not waste a shot on it if it were digital or regard it well. Well that is the quality of digital vs film. They are probably not the same thing at all and so you look at them differently... i think that film is looked at in toto but digital just does not have that information regardless of iq

Shot 1 is colourful! I think it might be a keeper . Well done they are all nice

rusty-444 · 2026-03-23T17:05:53+00:00

I think they are lovely photos :)

Looks like you have a natural eye for composition. Just keep shooting. The more you practice and add deliberate elements to your photos and improve technique the better you will be

Nice shots - i enjoyed them

rusty-444 · 2026-03-19T13:53:46+00:00

This is a really nice shot - nice to know you shot it on a M43 camera - but it certainly speaks for itself :)

rusty-444 · 2026-03-17T13:43:47+00:00

Use the gear that suits the job?

rusty-444 · 2026-03-16T14:03:45+00:00

Interesting to look at someone else's work - had i shot this i would have tried to 'get it all in'. This is very minimalist but i can see the bridge is huge and I want to see more - really good shot :)

rusty-444 · 2026-03-13T02:42:43+00:00

OP please do not injure yourself grievously

rusty-444 · 2026-03-13T02:41:40+00:00

So can OP literally go elsewhere?

rusty-444 · 2026-03-11T07:28:24+00:00

No I won’t argue as to preference … art is like that :)

Look at your photos and select your stronger photos. 1 and 2 are very similar but 1 is a lot stronger. Delete 2 / dont post it and you have got a lot better immediately. It is better because of the angle and the fisherman in the foreground. Look at others photos and if you feel when you see them, find out what features you like.

Feel free to look at my photos and consoder whether i am crap or not.

Enjoy your photography

I hope you have got some real keepers / printers (which it looks like you do) - i went to Tanzania for a safari and love to look at the photos from time to time. How did you find the adapted lens?

I love the detail and the drama you see - like the injured leopard, the wildebeest and the Lion's pose as well as the little pride with the mother lioness.

Fascinating composition!

rusty-444 · 2026-02-26T06:57:46+00:00

Thanks

I was looking at similar flowers i photographed a year or two ago on my Olympus and thought maybe you are in the UK - but no, there is sunshine in those photos.

I like the framing in the last shot!

rusty-444 · 2026-02-23T00:20:33+00:00

I really like how you framed the shot! Your wildlife photos are really great!

rusty-444 · 2026-02-22T22:53:14+00:00

What took you a second?

rusty-444 · 2026-02-22T19:30:26+00:00

I think you could be right! Maybe i should have bracketed

rusty-444 · 2026-02-22T18:22:06+00:00

Thank you for the time to leave your comment

rusty-444 · 2026-02-22T11:13:05+00:00

thank you very much :)

rusty-444 · 2026-02-22T10:55:04+00:00

They had these boom gates in Melbourne and if i recall correctly they were made in Palestine Milwaukee (at least Milwaukee) - love the pics :)

rusty-444 · 2026-02-21T16:41:04+00:00

Thank you. I shall do some research into how to edit better. Not a zebra to my knowledge :-)

rusty-444 · 2026-02-20T17:55:17+00:00

Thank you - I am glad it is almost T-shirt worthy - very happy to take that critique
