I find this photograph to be rather interesting. I like to look at the drops of water as people. People ready to begin their lives at any moment. But further down the pole the peoples lives are obscured by drugs and alcohol, and their fates are blurred into oblivion.

OP here: I have more if you want, just let me know if you want to see

Invert your images and up your resolution.

>>870536

totally agree man. The image noise represents how we can never really see clearly in life. The lack of tripod implies some form of instablitiy. The artistic shallow dof represents how quickly our lives go out of focus.

So fucking deep.
Just give the man a job at national geographic right now.

He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy!

Personally I think the DOF is way too shallow. Bump it up to around f/8.

Hey if anyone can recommend me to anyone that need a photographer i'd be more than happy

/p/ is a little frustrated today, eh?
don't mind them op. you'll get used to it.

anyway, op, your shot is boring as hell. the main reason you're being trolled is that trolls think you are trolling them with bad images so they troll you in return, just in case you aren't, in fact, a troll.

buy a book on basic photography, read up camera technicalities and composition rules. don't worry, we all started like that.

post the others we'll see if there's anything salvagable.

"hi you need a photographer?"
"yeah sure, you know a good one?"
"yeah, he asked me to find work for him. his name is Anonymous and eh doesn't afraid of anything."
"cool i'm call him right away"

wut?

>>870549
helpful anon here.
resize your pics to 1000px, before posting more, or even more shitstorm will follow.

>>870550

Better but still boring. Too dark, too flat.

What lens are you using, btw?

>>870552

Ignore the troll. We can't really determine how good your pix are unless they are at least 5000px on the short side.

>>870550
dull colors, bad crop, whites are blown and blacks are crushed.

one of main reasons lies here:
>exposure mode: full auto

you have to learn manual controlls to get better than that

>>870555
awww you got me.

>>870550
Okay here's an example of a shot where a shallow depth of field is appropriate.

However, some suggestions (which do not have to be followed)
-Illuminate the lamp. Both with a torch (out of frame) and by placing a lit candle inside it.
-Show what the lamp is hanging from
-Show a bit more of what's on and around the wall to the right, or get rid of the wall entirely.
-Implicate the Fibonacci Spiral. This would work especially well if there is a lit candle inside.
-Use a background where the bokeh is more distinct. Here, the circles in the trees are not very distinguishable.

yee but as i said i only just started, i just got the camera and started taking pics of anything i saw, havent got into it yet

>>870559
never give excuses.
you asked what /p/ thinks.
/p/ thinks you suck and you need to study to get better.

anything else you think is worth posting?

its my birdy but i dont think you will think its worthy :(

The bird is worthy, I fucking love cockatiels.

>>870561
in fact it is useful, as it shows common pitfalls we can esily point out.

fill the frame with your subject, but don't crop parts of it. would have been better if all of the head was in frame.
Lit your subject. you were in a controlled environment. photography is made of light, more is better. get a table lamp straight in his face, then shoot. in this case even a hint of fill flash would have been good.
also exposure time 1/125s, ISO 400. you could have avoided some noise by increasing available light or reducing shutter speed. alas, longer exposure could have motion blur, so see previous point.
learn to use basic postproduction tools, photoshop, lightroom, hell even picasa will do for now.

if you didn't understand any of the things i said read this toroughly
http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Classroom

also, you didn't resize

>>870561

This actually is a good shot, although the tones are a little flat. Shoot RAW, edit RAW.

>>870568
also you shoot digital, so do at least 3-4 shots of the same subject and save the one that's best.

I see your Cockatiel photo and raise you mine

Cute shot, but never cut a subject off at the feet.
