Please give comment guys! Thank you ng marami.

Hi... by the way.. im using a Sony Cyber-shot T-70. I dont have any idea on how to maximize its full capability... ='(

Pictures were actually bad because I kinda edited it to reduce its file size ='(

is it just me? or there are no pics ur post? :Thinking: :D

woops..its just me..tagal lng ng-load...hehehe,,

uhmmm,,,stil seeing just one pic....errr...wats up with that... not uploaded? :Grin:

ok..now im seeing the pics...
1st pic..composition could be better...subject is too far to the right..the orange thing is distracting,,and im more drawn to look at the slippers on the wall, or the thing hanging on the door, or that blue cloth on the upper left corner than on the girl...so.... point is..portraits should catch the attention of the viewer towards and not away from the subj...

2nd pic..uhmmm...on cam sepia? hmmmm..those arent usually enough...u cud do some pc editing..those are far better...capture them as colored and convert them on pc..and dont use the desaturate option if ur using photoshop (use the gradient map and then brightness/contrast)...that way, u wont lose a lot of details..this works for B/W and other monochromes......again on this pic...some stuff are leading my eyes away..upper left..
also, the angle cud hav been better...i wudv wanted to see their faces..two oblique angle shots merged on pc but still with the wall in between (since this is wat ur going for)...hehehe

3rd pic..the jar is ok...not great..but ok..cant comment much on this type of image,,,i dont reali fancy objects much...heheheh..:Grin:

also, wat software did u use in resizing? its pretty distorted...i know cybershots dont create these things...

hope this helps//:D

Here's my little observation.

Pic #1
Too cluttered, too many distracting objects in the background, since you were not able to manage the bokeh, or blur the background to lessen its clarity. Also, the girl is cute, but you cropped her left head/hair too much that somehow do not go with the good Rule of Thirds principle in composition. If you crop it a bit tighter, it might look better. :)

Pic #2
Sepia effect is nice. But the unnecessary messy objects in the background bothers or distracts me. Also, the cropped hands and parts of the body does not look nice, sometimes, maybe in this case.

Pic#3
It's a bit better among the two previous photos. But it seems 50/50 macro or not. If it's not really a macro shot, then maybe a little distance from the object to include the surrounding objects might make it a bit better.

Then, keep practicing the Rule of Thirds principle, it is basic and can improve your images a lot better. Try also the different angles [top view, worm view, any other creative angles or perspectives] to show your artistry. :)

Cheers and enjoy shooting! :)

Hi Sirs:

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I will definitely take note of those. I really don't have any idea what happened to the pictures I took after editing them in Photoshop to reduce their sizes. But I am working with it. http://digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/images/smilies/Drogar-BigGrin%28DBG%29.gif


I had a hard time taking the 2nd picture since there is no more space for me to move away from the subjects. But thank you for your comments.. appreciate it.


I recently took some pictures...
