Hey /p/. Which one do you like better? These are nighttime long exposure shots. I was manually focusing (digital cams don't focus at night very well) and literally focusing completely blind i could barely see what I was doing. I kinda like the way they turned out.

I like this best.

>>200806

First one has horrible light in background, and half of her face is too dark, which doesn't work in this photo.

>>200807

And this has weird colors and harsh lighting (feet are glowing, face is in shadow...)

Just my poor uneducated opinions :)

Oh, forgot to say, that I'd have liked>>200808more if she were completely in focus. Now the bottom half is way too distracting, and her face too much turned upwards.

3rd, and I don't fully like it.

They all seem just a little awkward.
I like the first best overall, but the lights on the stairs are just too bright. Maybe if she were shifted a bit further into the frame.
I like her expression in the second, and the composition in the third.

Thanks Guys! I have another long exposure night shoot tonight, so this feedback helps!

And let me make it clear, I quite like that first shot, it's only the lights that bother me. I like the "harsh" lighting, the contrast. Good mood for the location.
