scanner said:Denis, Maybe you wanted to suggest how the photo should be cropped? Anyway all pics posted are not cropped.
Sunkist, what do you think? :bsmilie:
Witness, the lady beside her is not her mother. Remember...
Anyway, thanks for the comments. ;p
Hey guys, learned about newbies outing at Little India that night from one of u and longed to see great pics post..
Would like to share with Snapper some ideas in composition of his pics, the motorcycle at the back could be more interesting when looking at another angle, suggest tat subject be placed diagonally instead of horizontally? Do u have any shot of that...
Cropped away the arm and fingers from the kid and see wat happen... i do agree with Stroma that it balanced the colour of the photo but disagreed to use the little arm in framing the pic.. it cut away an arm (just my opinion) Anyone there to share on this??? Stroma pardon me please.
Probably u can make the frame a little more interesting by trimming the iron doors and boxes both sides and bring out more on the boss by using PS to enhance the lighting effect inside...making use of the same exposure and zoom in to the boss might bring out ur subject with more impact..... Anyway I loved the lighting effect u captured on the boss.
It just a suggestion. Willing to share and learn from all of you and always interesting to see keen photographers around.
A little tot, little view and you see many things other's dun.. we always missed many viewpoints

Thanks benchuatl for your comments.
It refreshing and great to hear from many ppls on their ideas on how a good pics can be improved. No matter how good your are or how bad your are as a photographer in taking pic, it is the matter whether you like the pic and whether the pic is appealing to the audience. There is no such thing as prefect image, but only people attempting to perfect the image.
We learn from each other and improve together.

well said.... Fully agreed.
It is a matter of how one's project ur pics. By the way to capture the right moment and make it interesting are always the mind of a photographer.. and it differs from the judges.. Anyway well done.
Hi, don't mind my straight forward comments on the pictures and captions.
Sleeping with style - the motor bike at the back is drawing my attention away from the subject. the subject look over saturated. I feel you could have gone closer.
Dead asleep - subject is over-exposed at the top. his whole white shirt is blown out. if he is dead asleep I would like the see his facial expression instead of his feet. Noisy environment? Which part of your picture shows that?
Little Girl - problem with caption. Is she shouting? I don't see her shouting and I certainly don't see her mum.
The Boss - very nice environment. go inside and get a closer shot with the stacks of stuff behind him. under expose your shot and use a off camera flash and light him from the side. Otherwise there's too much clutter in the shot and my eyes are drawn away from the person.
Just my two cents worth of opinions. Feel free to refute them. I think a lot of us have problems with captioning. Captions have to reflect the picture and vice versa, dun caption for the sake of it.

Yes, I'm aware of it and I do agree a close up might be one of the solutions.junda said:
As mentioned earlier, the word is DEAD ASLEEP, think of the angle when someone is dead. Where would your camera focus on? The Face? The body or the feet? That is my interpretation of the word DEAD. I'm playing with direction of light and DOF.junda said:
True, the caption could be better.junda said:
Yes, that would be nice if a flash can be used or I can even PS the subject. But then again, it depends on how u wanted the audience to see frm your view. The idea is to give a typical kind of towKay look and his silent strength. I personally find the 'tunnel' of merchandise add on to the pic.junda said:
Truth, captions are important. I do agree with that. I will improve on these portions.junda said:
Thanks again for your precious comments.
hmmm...seriously, I think I would look at a dead person's face more than his feet.
For The Boss, I think he is too minute in the picture. He looks overwhelmed by all the goods and the strong, silent thing just doesn't come through. But then again it's your picture, won't take your credit away.
Remember, cropping and photoshoping is not always the way to go. If you need to crop, either get closer to the subject or do a visual crop first before you take the shot. Try and adjust lighting on the spot instead of using photoshop to do it. We all strive to be good in photography, not an expert in photoshop.
Too much cropping and photoshoping will make you lose confidence if you ever have to shoot film.

Hmm.......dunno, but I prefer the one by Witness as it shows more of the umbrella which forms a unique composition for the photo and of course the bright colours of the umbrella makes a good contrast to the dress of the little girl. Scanner's is a nice close up. Both have good technics. Just personally prefer the one by Witness as it evokes more feelings for me........ ;p
Next time should we try having the group shooting one particular subject? It's really fun to see how different our perspectives are. And we get to learn from each other and widen our horizon.
