Appreciate the honesty. Although i'm more interested in why they're terrible. Thanks though.
>>2751612
Well the first one looks like it has your thumb over it and its a picture of a cat below a chair. The second photo is a woman walking her dog accompanied by terrible photo quality.
>>2751626

>>2751626

You could have stopped down instead of doing the -5.8 EV thing.
>>2750398
I don't like the first one because the subject isn't very interesting, the second one is better but I would have preferred it without the lady and her dog, it takes away from the subtle glow of the sky
In regards to post-processing - how do you get a feel for what you should be doing to the image? For instance do you try to emulate the look great photographers have accomplished or is it more trial and error?
>>2750398
Everything senpai

fucking hell f am
Terrible image quality. You should probably at least try to get a clean, reasonably well-exposed shoot for starters. Then process it into something good.
Not the most interesting subjects either.
These shots, you should take them to experiment with your new camera - sure. But they really don't need to be published anywhere.
>>2750398
Sorta boring, I can see what you were going for, but it's a bit of a lifeless shot,
Image is fucking large.
>>2751602
Try taking a shot that hasn't been taken, oh woah a dog being walked and misty backdrop. Really isn't entertaining or special, in combination of the bad quality, its lackluster. I'd hit x
LARGE PHOTO>?
>>2751636
Sideways, the shutter speed was too slow but not long enough where it looks on purpose,. probably the best so far, but yet again,
FAT PHOTO>?
Hello, im new in the photography...can you please rate this picture? and just tell me all things that are wrong?

This is snapchat trier. I'm pretty sure I took that picture this morning when washing my dishes. I had to reply to a snap, pointed my phone in a random direction in the kitchen and awkwardly took a picture of anything whilst not trying to get my screen too wet.
Seriously though, what was your intention when taking the picture? Do you have anything to say or is it just "pretty" in your eyes?
>>2752131
its a black and white picfure of your kitchen you fucking gong
>>2752131
successful troll is successful
Thanks for all the input, is there any exercises I can do to force myself to capture more interesting subjects?
>>2752175
the best exercise is leaving your house
>>2750398
All of these are pretty bad desu
>>2752175
Read one of the many books on photographic composition, and get out and shoot at least 100 shots a week. The week after you shoot the photos, look through the photos, pick the best 10, try to understand why they are the best, repeat for a year.

He does quite a lot... check his flickr,
I love what you do.
This is naive picture, or at least it looks naive. by that I mean that you seem to simply take pictures of stuff around you, without trying too much, casually. thus, framing are very approximate (or again are intended to look approximate, because I dont know how well you know what you are doing), subjects are random, and its overall full of "mistakes" (out of focus subjetcs, overexposed here and underexposed there). but it makes it very fresh and full of life, and the universe is coherent, making it great as a series. pictures are weak taken individually (which is normal for that type of pictures), but as a book it would work well. special points for the jumping lizard, cat behing white roses, inside view of a garden through three windows with the big plant in the middle, and extra extra point for the fishes. You've got an eye, the question is how it's gonna evolve, because you don't make "casual-fresh" pictures at 45, it doesnt sell. But life is gonna happen anyway. again you got an eye so you'll be fine (and better than me...shit, oh well ;)

They are both blinks. They are eyesnapshots they are just paused and passing moments meaning nothing to me except patio chairs and a guy walking a dog. Nothing sticks f0o me. Sorry.
Shot this on film, pretty new to photography
>>2754397
I care much less about what you shot it on, and much more about how there is nothing I even remotely care to look at in the image.
>>2754397
It isn't horrible. it feels minimalist but it fails to achieve a goal. What am I to look at? What is in focus? what do my eyes draw to? For me the chimney pipe struggles to be the focus of the picture. I look more in the emptiness. of the distant background. Learning the rule of thirds can help focus the attention.
While I write this I've got the picture in the back and it's cropped about a third of the picture from the top out. it makes it a wider frame but my eye stops looking at the white washed background and begins to move about the picture. Framing a photograph isn't easy. when you get your prints developed play with the cropping. it's a simple tool that can teach you that maybe it isn't bad but you need work.
much subtle sega/ 8bit edit??

the photo seems too cluttered, there is nothing to draw my eye, no main focus. It would of been better if you could see both the cats heads more clearly
>>2763554
they're turtles
>>2763751
really? they look like little cats to me
