First post on 4chan. Not really a photograper, and is exactly underqualifed to be called a proper "photograper"Call me a faggot because this picture sucks or what ever, just tell me of its bad. Call it shit, ass, retarded I DON'T CARE. JUST SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
>>4512280I don't post here. Not really a photograper either:>JUST SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.Cropping is not a sin in creative editing, photography is a subtraction game.There's clearly a main subject that plays along with an ironic or counterpoint theme against another subject, in this case the homeless under a developed object-structure. To railroad viewers into your intention, if it was the contrast between subjects' status, you can crop your way in to take out distractions, in theory this compositional play should be done on field but sometimes you can't for whatever reason so cropping is an expected step.I did two tries, perhaps these are closer to what you wanted to show, or maybe you just wanted a pretty shot of the building and these niggers got in the way.
>>4512280If you're taking pictures you're a photographer bud, everything else is just gearfagging or window dressing>Say somethingThe blue on the left is blown to an unnatural color and your subjects are tiny with nothing to draw the eye to them or contrast against them. You're looking and seeing but you need to think a bit more about your composition. Imagine if this was a more vertical shot from the industrial building going down to the waterline with just a hint of the green in the bottom and some tourists or otherwise normies looking over the edge above the hobos below. Of course, I'm projecting what I think you probably wanted the image to convey. But that's part of it - seeing something more than just the scene, but what the scene could be
>>4512280From a technical perspective, your image is too low quality to observe those people by the waters which I assume are main subjects of this photograph. It's not only underexposure but also lack of raw resolution. So your photo falls flat. Overall, colors and contrasts are flat and uninteresting. But At least I can see you were going for something.From a "art" perspective, you're one more that believe their photo is so good it can be shown alone and without any context. You're wrong. Photos are weak. Only masterpieces are good outside of a series and a context. Makes series.
>>4512280> Post one (1) snapshit> PLEEEASE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MY SINGULAR PHOTO PLEEEASE> Anons write constructive paragraphs about the unique mediocre image> OP leaves the thread and never answerskek
>>4512280clouds are overexposedthere are no shadows nor much contrastI would like to see the men along the bank up close but this is obviously not possible with the lens you haveit seems like you took this photo with your phone
>>4512306>From a technical perspective, your image is too low quality to observe those people by the watersThey are clearly there and their postures obvious, so your argument is wrong.
>>4512578...
>>4512579Yeah, he's Broly squatting, so what it's not illegalPoint still stands, the subjects and their thematic contrast are clearly visible, and will be even if shown in a semi-detailed exhibition format of 8x10 seen at a 50cm distance which is 20ish inches in muttric system.Attached is an image sized 7x10 if you are seeing it at 96PPI, 960px vertical side, 768 horizontal side would make it 8in but in this case due to crop ratio it is 672ish, so a 7in.The example inside of a so-called broly squat, black framed, is a normal exhibition size of 5x7 if seen at 96PPI, that might be a bit too small but OP might print it at 8x10 anyways as it is doable at 300DPI, he's just 20 to 25 pixels shy of the 2400x3000 pixels needed if he opts for the cropped version provided before.
Did this monkey attempt any more photos?
>>4512728Your crop, aside from brolly ass, is retarded as it loses the original environmental context from the shooter's perspective.The feeling of squalor is massacred; the grime of the river is not as apparent, as is lost the fact that the subjects are fishing in a shitty, polluted, decaying canal and not against the ocean or something. You literally cropped out a source of flowing water, you fool.Your crop is bad, just like your photo of chairs in a tree is bad (and banal).>>4512280I like it, but you're limited by your equipment; the finer details that would make the photo are blurred. Other than that, good job
>>4516349>Your crop is bad, just like your photo of chairs in a tree is badwat, i haven't taken or posted any photo of " chairs in a tree", take your meds>loses the original environmental context from the shooter's perspectiveYes but compacting the composition gives more room to the hobos and makes the juxtaposition between their "under the bridge" conditions and the fancy building more obvious/explicit.>the grime of the river is not as apparent>lost the fact that the subjects are fishing in a shitty, polluted, decaying canalIt is in the left-side crop shown here >>4512288, it is not lost>You literally cropped out a source of flowing water, you foolThat is true but that is a sacrifice i did because my subject priority is the juxtaposition, not the squalors' condition>canal and not against the ocean or somethingAlso an intelligent observation, again i had a crop priority. To have everything in the composition this would need to be a large-format image and shot at a slightly different angle to avoid the corrugated roofing in the mid-right side while maintaining the water source.>the finer details that would make the photo are blurredLike so.
>>4516360im not the guy ur responding too but buddy if ur using words like juxtaposition, thats how u know ur like not good at this composition stuff. relying on cheap tricks doesnt make a good photo. ur photo is like not leveled in a way that make sense for the composition u attemptedlike my first impression is that this dude doesnt know how to straighten something. second the bottom right corner is just useless shit. its just like some shitty plants and its in a super distracting area. third, there's just more distractions on the right side wit that building. theres too little of it showing so it just looks like u didnt even notice it was there when u took the photo.theres no defining points in this photo that create a composition. it literally just looks random.go read some art books or go look at paintings and see what they doand finally the contrast it just too much, like the shit on top of the ship is too bright and the ppl below is way too dark to the point where no one would really notice ityou also put the people too low in the frame for it to make sense
