Paulgt's photo thread
 

Love 2 two last pics!

i think you have a good eye...it just seems like some of your pics lack the art side of photography... maybe i'm just not seeing it, but a lot of your pics could be sooooo much better if you added just a little something to your angle of the shot, or a different focus point. like you said you're a hobbyist, so take this as you want, its just some constructive criticism.

I kind of have a method based approached. Since I bought the SLR and a few lenses, I am more concerned with learning the proper settings, editing, and usage of my equipment, then I will start to focus on the artisit side.

However, you are correct, most of my pics I spend more time playing with lenses and settings then really looking at the scene/angles/composure , but that will change, I am getting the hang of the camera and whatnot.

sounds like you are on the right track. keep it up man i like your stuff

Your Reasoning at least?

Last time I checked this was a pubic forum. And if you are referring that my photos are not good enough to have a thread, then thats your opinion, at least give some creative advice instead of being an ass.

Maybe you did not read the first post

Where I clearly stated "I am not a Pro"
and that "I did not want to muck up the photo of the day thread"

Thanks,

It's actually whichever lake is out on apache trail/ 88

:P

nice pics man

hey paul when you are focusing on shift nobs and whatnot, use a lower fstop so the back ground and edges blur a little... it makes your focus point stand out more.

cool pics!

ill focus on your knob

I love these pics
you should have your own website ;)

lmao i knew it. :superghey:

nice work bro, lake powell shot looks good

dang.. you've got a hard on for that 50mm huh? lol

Haha its new, so of course I am going to use it alot :)

I stumbled on a good deal for serveral lenses, so I am sure there will be lots more pics of questionable quality taken with them haha.

well for our Sony's, look into the Minolta Beer Can as a nice cheap zoom (constant f4 aperture). Typically can be had for between 150-200 bucks and they're nice and crispy stopped down a small amount.

I have a couple zooms already, that I like. I was going to get a beercan, but did not want to buy one when I already have a couple good zooms :p

If I find a killer deal on one I will pick one up, but I alread have a Sony 75-300mm 4.5-5.6 and a Tamron 28-200mm 3.8-5.6.

who the fawk are YOU?

anyways, nice pics man, they are all better than i could do.

Nice pics. The scenic shots look great.
