Maybe I'm a picasa kind of guy....

Gifv!

I'd also crop the left hand side, with such a large focal point it should be more central imo.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I disagree strongly. Composition wise you only want to use central framing rarely, and for a specific purpose. With the people on the right hand side of the tunnel only, it wouldn't have symmetry, it lends itself more to being offset.

Have a look about the rule of thirds in photography if you don't know about it.

Thanks for the nice comments! Feel free to fiddle with it those that like to fiddle. The way it's shot being offset was on purpose for the above reason. My girlfriend explained all about thirds in photography to me before we went on that holiday because I always used to shoot everything straight down the middle.

 

[Ch3tan]

I like it eksdee

As a side note I'm still buzzing on the opening credits from Limitless, it's simple..but weird.

I know about the rule of 3rds but it doesn't always apply. For a long winding road like that I think a central shot would be better. I think having the unimportant bit to the left slightly negates the quality of the focal point.

i made it look like it was taken on a holga because thats what all the cool kids are in to. also bored.

 

[Ch3tan]

I actually have a holga, so I don't have to try.

*yes this was a boast. Bow at my feet photography peasants.

I'm with Wazz on this one; I like the negative space on the left. I would probably clone out the light on the left and have it all black.

 

[Deebs]

Upload to FH! Saves broken links in the future.

 

[old.user4556]

Less talk, more pics!

 

[Clown]

Fuck you. You're being stingy.

 

[old.user4556]

That makes me sad m8

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Definitely not a gr8 m8 if he won't share

Whitesands Bay, St Davids.

The light rays are cool but the horizons are off on both of them

Still on a 'street' mode at the moment.



I'll upload the rest of the ones I took today after I develop them.

Off in what way?

 

[Clown]

As in you have to tilt your head to the right to straighten it.

 

[Fweddy]

Shagrat, in Photoshop use the ruler tool (it's hidden under the eyedropper iirc) to draw a line on the horizon and then go to Image>Image Rotation>Arbitrary. It will automagicallgy enter in the angle you need to level it out. Then just click ok.

 

[Shagrat]

Ta, will have a mess about with that later. I'm posting the shots untouched tbh, as its post processing/composition tips I'm more interested in

 

[caLLous]

It looked much better in real life.

 

[Kahland]

Less talk, more pics!

Too edited

 

[Ch3tan]

Too edited how? Looks natural to me.

 

[caLLous]

Too edited

If you don't understand that that's not edited in the slightest (save maybe white balance and exposure correction, which isn't "editing" anyway), you shouldn't be posting comments about it.

 

[Clown]

Every picture is edited. I would say too edited is shit like those awful HDRs some people do.

It's overly long exposure by the looks of it. That sort of shot really doesn't need it (imo) and it spoils what would be an excellent photo.

A matter of taste I suppose.

That would make a great photoshop though, the bottom half normal exposure and the top half (with the clouds) as long exposure.

 

[caLLous]

G does love his silky smooth water.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's not overly long though Raven, we don't know what the light conditions were to make that assumption.
