laytardel and I went for an outing to the Wainui coast Here some of the photos that I have just uploaded to my portfolio. They are straight out of the camera, dont know how to use photoshop. I would appreciate any comments or critiques.The rest are in my portfolio.
Cmon and I went to all that trouble of finding out how to post a link to laytardel's profile!! :) are there no takers or are my photos so great they dont need any improvement!!!!
Hey Joynim, good to see some more Kiwis posting photos.
That could be a great portrait with some photoshopping. Most of these images look a little flat, perhaps abit of post processing would benifit. I look forward to seeing your future photos.
Thanks Simon Kiwis unite!!! Yes that is what I am hoping to learn the difference between taking a snapshot which where I am now and taking a photo that people enjoy looking at.
The picture of your daughter is very nice. The composition is pleasing and it has a very nice feel to it. I like her pensive look and the addition of the pink hat/scarf really brings her out from the background. Definitely more than a snapshot. As stated previously, some simple photoshopping could really help as it is a little flat. Have you tried using even just the auto levels, contrast and color. It's easy and it may just help bring this to the next level. I prefer using layers to do this but for quick family shots sometimes that's all I need. That and a little unsharp mask would probably make a world of difference. I also like the seal/sealion shot. It's quite sharp. :-)
Thanks guys did I mention I always give a comment for each comment recieved!! Though I must admit I feel a bit foolish commenting on someones photos who are clearly a much better photographer than me!
Of course I dont mind I love it when people show me what can be done better.Did you notice in the "eyes" photo you can see me reflected in her eyes. I ony just noticed that LOL !!
Cute girl! Good editing, it really brings the photo out. I would play with the seal photo as well to bring out the colors. Editing can change the photo so much (something I am just learning).
