Went out to shoot today, found a neat abandoned warehouse/office building. Didn't get inside but the scenery was still nice.
Still new to photography, so honest and constructive critique please.

First attempt using cloning/healing to clear some branches at the top. Noticeable?

Is that post-processed? because the bluehue is INSANE. Too much actually.
If it was bundled with other effects it would be fine.
Try working more with contrast and opposing themes rather than with BLUUUUUU all over the place.
>>2823298
That one would lend itself perfectly for a local-contrast play to bring out the bricks and stuff.
>>2823314
Yeah it's post processed, thanks for saying something. Blue is like my favorite color so I was probably a little biased towards it with the sliders. What other effects would make it okay?

Thanks for feedback, now I'm really starting to see how obnoxious the blue is.
Could you elaborate on the local-contrast?

Toned down the blue on a few of them, definitely looks better.

Not really sure how to make the bricks pop more for this one though.

Local contrast is a setting I can find in at least Darktable. DUnno if Lightroom has it, but Darktable is free. here Is an example. This is without local contrast. it looks decent, but the main object, the tower lacks a certain strength.

This is the same image with a local contrast mask applied around the tower. It would seriously fuck up the trees if I applied it to the entire image.
It strengthens local contrasts and brings out smaller details. It's perfect for statues or tiled buildings. I'm still experimenting with it myself.
I can also post an image where I could just generally apply it to the entire image.
It also has the tendency to create a weird haze against strong skies.

In this image I used the local contrast on the ENTIRE picture.
It works well with deepening those details and giving the feeling of a stronger, closer light. It would for example also make a great effect for instects against a blurred backdrop

Thank you so much for taking the time to post these, it's a huge help. I'll definitely look up how to do this in light room.
Love the figures by the way, a couple friends of mine just got into Guild Ball and I want to take photos of their models once they're finished painting em.
>>2823354
I just walked in the local Games Workshop, asked if I could take pictures and later linked them on Facebook to the images.
Even if you don't intend on going pro, this is a way to get other people involved.
>>2823298
pretty cool, i wouls have made the shadows to go perfectly into the corners of the pciture, and also like mentioned you could try to make more of a contrast to show the right part is a reflection. at first clance it looks like a hallway and looses the creativeness of a reflection.
>>2823301
kinda boring, i see ladders and garbage dumpsters every day. but just imo.
>>2823305
interesting, i feel like this picture wouldnt make sense without knowing where you were, but still cool. ALSO, what lens are you using? i see slot color abrasions on the scrap pile in the middle. i know you said you are a beginner and you can deal with it - fix it in photoshot, but get some better glass if you want to take your printable photos to the next lvl.
>>2823307
meh. would have put the office building in the background instead f that weird silo looking thing. the office furniture makes more sense when related to an office building.
>>2823308
kinda cool, nothing interesting to me but i would have put the bottom corner in the frame just as the top. kinda the reverse of having leading lins go to the corners, have the leading corners go to the middle. and again dick around with the colors in PS to show that its a reflection, the reflecction is so strong i loose perspective sometimes, but im also a little drunk...
>>2823309
TF is tha triangle?? i dont get it. almost looks like a double exposure from an old film camera. also your bad glass is showing.

same
/p/ is a cool place because you can post pictures instantly and the boards are 10x more active than alot of other places, but remember that 99% of ppl here are trolls that only like leica and only like grainy BaW photos of old people in the city or a crooked down spout on the side of a building... EVERYTHING here is Just soneones opinion,

The triangle pictures are my fav from that day. The shot is actually the reflection of a window, the trees/grass/path is behind me, the yellow triangle is light coming through a parted curtain inside the building I'm shooting. Thought it made a pretty neat affect. The reason the pic is so dirty is cause the window was disgusting
>>2823414
Also thank you for all the feedback. I know most are boring, I'm still trying to get a grasp of composition and editing, hopefully i'll be able to work out interesting photos at some point too lmao.
Did not noticed the color abrasions, so thank you for pointing that out as well. I'm using the default 18-55mm kit lens that came with my D3300. I'm already planning on buying a better zoom lens for outdoor and a 35mm prime for indoor/concerts, just gotta save up some cash.

highly recommend getting this. best lense you can get for 150$

I am finding it hard to fault it, besides colour but that can be fixed mostly in post. Do you mind shearing a raw of this. I want to have a crack at.
