They sure are pictures alright.

Shame those are the four you thought were good enough to show people, were they the only ones you took?

boring photos, nothing of interest at all, come back when you have something to show for yourself.

Little harsh dont you think? I said it was my first time trying, didnt think i did THAT badly
>> Honest So You Dont Have To Be !9UISPtwBPo
>>271307

There isnt such a thing as being to harsh,

You put your photos up here for opinions, you got his, like it or not.

As for the photos:

>>271007

I guess there was no way of avoiding that light, so you did a good job to place it over both the faces, at least it looks deliberate, However they are not all looking at you (assuming you wasnt the only tog there)

>>271010
This one works, it has the faces of all the speakers in it (unless there was more?) and you captured the essence of his speech, or so it would seem. This would would prob go to print.

>>271012
Yeah, insta-art bullshit...

Personally i like the framing, but it would never print this dark and moody.

>>271014
Again, not bad, but not good, her expression ruins it, but the lighting is quite nice, again, prob wouldn't print,


Overall you need to cut out your arty crap if you want to keep doing this, there IS a time and a place for it, even in press photography, but it should never come before getting key shots, and it seems here it has...

Id like to see you next event

/p/ treats all photos equally harshly, whether they are posted by a professional tripgay (Depressed Cheesecake, beethy, ac) or a noob anon such as you

Public presentations can be the most boring of photo shoots.

One is okay, but the pose is unnatural. Do you have a shot of any of them speaking? Could have use flash to blank out the lighting and background, if you wanted.

In two, yes there is a neat expression on his face, and it might be okay to use if he was the featured speaker and was fairly characteristic for him.

Three is blurry, and not totally relavent.

Fourth was a good idea for a place to take shots, it will be where you get the most honest interaction and expressions. I however don't like this expression, and think it is a tad over exposed.

Do any of these pictures indicate that it was the end of Ramadan to you? You are trying to help tell a story, that there were speakers is not the most interesting point. Did you talk to anyone there? Find any personal anecdotes that could be used in a caption?

Get closer. As long as you aren't popping off a flash every two seconds, likely no one will care.

Unless there were more pictures, or another photographer, 1 or 2 will probably run. Not front page material, but you got the job done.

>>271007
Posed, toss it.
>>271010
Good speaker shot moment, but you could have moved a bit more to the right in order to get the screen fully behind his head. You've only got edge definition on half his head, this would give you better contrast and it would read easier in print. If this is your longest lens, I'd crop in on the file and get rid of that exit sign, too. Otherwise, get closer or shoot with a longer lens or both. There's lots of wasted space in the frame. But great facial expression and a finger in the air is always good, heh.
>>271012
This doesn't read well at all. The girl's face is in shadow, the lady has no face, and there's zero context. I don't get the Eid from this. (I assume that's what you're talking about, end of Ramadan right?)
>>271014
No moment, big mysterious shadow slices off her hands, and your highlights are blown to boot.

In my paper, we'd probably be forced to run a tight crop of>>271010since there's just not much here.

Thanks for the input,

How close of a crop would you run on it? am going though the others now, but with what youve said in mind i dont think they are many that can be saved... feel quite stupid now :P

But hey, we all start somwhere
