Are good.

There are some others that aren't bad, but nothing much either. You need to work more on composition, don't just point and shoot.

can you tell me what I am doing wrong? possibly give some suggestions?
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j

Try slowing down and working on balancing/composing your photographs a bit more. I really like the first one, but it comes in at an awkward angle and looks a little bit tilted, which is distracting.

Also, in
>>49761&>>49769
You have some "distracting" elements in the shot that take the eye away from the main focus of the photo (trees, hand rail, etc). Normally you want to keep a good flow to your photo, so the eye goes side to side, up and down, or diagonally, with the focal point ending up on whatever the subject is (which i'm guessing in this case in the apartment building).

I personally really like>>49779
but feel that the balance is still off because the window is too the side. In a rare instance, i would have rather seen it more centered.

As I said, don't just point and shoot, it looks like in most of your photos you simply from where you were standing pointed the camera straight at the subject and released the shutter. You need to try to find a better angle, move around in all dimensions you can.

An easy way to distinguish a good photographer from an ordinary tourist - while shooting, one is simply standing straight, other one is on his knees/pointing camera in weird angle/laying on the ground/etc.

Ever heard of the Rule of Third?

yeah i have heard of the rule of thirds. this work is from when i started, to the more recent work. the older stuff is mostly centered and isnt very well done compositionally.

its a false construct.

yeah weird angle = good photographer. jesus where do you guys get this shit from.

>>50021

well it is true, to a point. i've gotten down in mud, in sand, in water, on my knees, i've nearly broken a few toes and barely balanced on a couple rocks. All in the name of getting a really cool shot

There are only so many compositions you can get from eye level. Amateurs don't bother with the others. Good photographers don't care if they get their pants dirty.

heck, real photographers may be working on good shots before they realize they forgot pants...
