Expose correctly.

Use a more interesting composition.

Make the model actually LOOK like she's using the camera - right now she's simply holding it up to her face. And that wide of a view from that perspective isn't very flattering.
>> fence !!POey2hdozCZ
that is a truly horrible jpeg. what the fuck, man? save that shit at 8.

also, the photo itself is underexposed, and you made your hot girlfriend look like a weirdly proportioned leprechaun with the wide angle abuse. oh, and if she's holding the camera up to her eye, what the hell is she looking at?

otherwise, it's okay.
>> nokin !ozOtJW9BFA
any lower shutter speed and you can see the shakes :(

as for the lense, yeah it was a bad idea.

Bump your ISO dude, you were only on 200. Grainy + correctly exposed = usable image. clean + underexposed = bin.
Possibly would have worked with the wide from a low angle.

Possibly a little fill flash for this to pull down that outside light, and she has a retarded expression on her face.

oh and you must have shakey as fuck hands, you should be able to get it sharp at 18mm at least down to 1/50, if not 1/30.

You should be able to get a sharp shot at 1/20 if you fire a burst of 3.
Learn to use your camera better.
The shots show your lack of experience with it and ultimately ruins em.
1 has no redeeming quality about it.. and 2 is kinda nice but too much of a snapshot.
Try to plan your shots out better.

Wow first thing wrong is the exposure, can't see shit.

I don't know, get that right first and then we'll critique you again...

GORRRRRIIIIIILLLLLLLAAAAAA AAAARRRRRRRRRMS!

Wide angle is unflattering. Also, her eyes are pointing the wrong way, which tells me she can't be looking through that viewfinder, which ruins it for me in the same way that the gunfags go ballistic if someone's not exhibiting proper trigger discipline. It's clear that she's just holding the camera up as a prop, not actually using it.

Doesn't look like smoke. Looks like flare/general bad sensor quality. Bending over like that is another not-particularly-flattering way to shoot her. Also, there's all sorts of crap at the bottom of the frame.

Well, I think /p/ has covered the faults of your photos. In essence, you failed.

Also, that dress is awful.

okay so start again, find a nice place where your girl can sit down and get into a pose that Looks good usaly legs extended arms over them like this

Then get rid of that ridiculous necklace but i know thats hard trying to tell your misses to take off her jewelery because it looks stupid. use correct settings and if it is to dark use higher iso and shoot with the sun from behind you or to her side
