As I said earlier, I am a complete beginner, so, please, if you think I could have done something better, or shouldn't have done something, don’t hesitate to say so.
>>2714703
I would try to stay away from pure sunset shots like this. They really have no subject, and once you see enough of them they get boring. I like the first couple ones
jesus christ at least downsize the pictures like the sticky says, some people use phones to browse this forum
but i'll comment on your pictures
>>2714672
pretty good, weird crushed blacks in some places
>>2714673
again, pretty good, more crushed blacks but the landscape looks neat
>>2714675
eh, alright use of DoF
>>2714677
basically just a picture of nothing
>>2714680
neat i guess?
>>2714682
no clear subject, no mood, no composition, just looks off
>>2714685
neat, like the feel of decay, the outside looks strange as hell, like HDR'd and it's putting me off though
>>2714686
literally a picture of nothing, why bother
>>2714689
too cluttered
>>2714691
the thing that should at least be more in focus is off-centre and clipped and isn't even fully in focus
>>2714695
eh
>>2714701
would be better had you either stepped back or not zoomed in so much
>>2714702
>>2714703
alright i guess, i prefer the second one more but i've seen too many sunsets with more vibrant colours to be wowed by these
keep trying, work on things like composition, i don't know how much time you spent out there shooting but it apparently wasn't enough, setting up a shot for longer ends up making the shot much more organized as opposed to happily snapping away crap
failing that, at least try and set a mood with your picture sets, it just looked like you were taking pictures purely to take them, some of them were useless, nobody's going to appreciate a poorly focused picture of weeds on a dusty wooden floor for example
and work on post-processing, if you haven't started yet it'll be pretty nifty to further improve the images and get 'em closer to your vision, that's what RAW is for
if you're already trying it, try something else, some of the pictures have that strange unnecessary HDR look to it which looks frankly fucking awful
>>2714710
You are bored of sunset shots. That don't mean a new photographer should shy away from including them in his daily practice routine.
Dont listen to this guy. People love that shit. Post them on fb and you'll have bitches all over your dilly in no time flat.
>>2714710
I see what you mean.
>>2714722
Oh, shit, sorry, completely forgot.
>>2714682
I can kinda see what you mean
>>2714685
the outside was really overexposed, and I did some stuff to make the details on the interior pop, but yeah, it didnt help the window and door, still trying to figure out how to do that selectively
>>2714686
I thought it was cool because the outside is spilling into this house, that was the idea behind it
