In the spirit of not being a gearfag, and in the time honored tradition of flaming people who actually take pictures, here is my haul from today.

pic of a rat, nice to see some details

>>183918
singularly, the most boring shot a dandelion i've ever seen...try a different angle. also, this is a crop right?

>>183920
from the thumbnail kinda looked like a selective desat, the picture says nothing, composition isn't ideal...try reframing.

>>183921
the subject you were trying to capture (the bird) is too far off to the right, lots of unneeded stuff to the left of the image too. When you take a picture, make sure to remember what you're trying to convey with the image.

>>183922
meh, just isn't working. I think I know what you were going for, it's just that too much black is using up the image.

>>183923
the cars still blurry, try a higher shutter next time.

>>183926
wow, that's sad...

>>183927
uhmm ok...haha

a place being boring is no excuse to find interesting subjects. Try a different angle of the place, walk around in the bushes, do whatever it takes to find the interesting and capture it!

I thought I conveyed well that he was in flight towards the west, and that's why I included the path he was going to fly in the crop. If it was a dead center crop of the bird, it would have looked terrible.

>the cars still blurry, try a higher shutter next time.
No, you misunderstand. I was trying to track the car. A fast shutter shot of a car on a road is even more boring, I was working on a technique.

yes, but in the picture it seems as though the mail box were his destination. This in my opinion unmakes the shot. It's a good capture don't get me wrong, just that some elements in the shot are distracting. Also, nowhere in my reply did I ask for a deadcenter crop.

>No, you misunderstand. I was trying to track the car. A fast shutter shot of a car on a road is even more boring, I was working on a technique.
yes, I got what you were going for, but the car is still too blurry, I've seen pictures taken with a higher shutter speed that still track well.

It's not. There's a set number of combinations of lens data that you can get a Minolta Alpha mount lens chip to report, so the guys who modded Minolta MD 50/1.2s for Alpha mount made them report as 60/1.1s for shake reduction purposes.
