Just a bunch of lights hanging from a scaffolding in Manhattan

Looks like the first picture I'd take as an early beginner


My point is you probably saw something with your eyes but couldn't translate it to a photography.

>>3858588
Well I was just snapping pics on the way to work, didn't have all day to stand there framing it up so I just set focus on the front bulb and set the exposure until it looked ok. Also I lowered the brightness in GIMP because I thought it looked a bit more moody.

>>3858594
What I mean is it's just a bunch of lights
There's nothing to get out of this picture.

see. this is why it's not a good photo. you reap what you sow. you took the photo hastily and got the results that comes with doing a snapshot. next time you're out ask yourself why you're taking a shot. wonder what you're trying to say. ask yourself what could make the shot better. If you're just snapping for the sake of snapping because you want to justify being out with your camera, you're not doing it right. When you bring the viewfinder to your eye, you should already have the shot all framed up in your mind.

tl;dr Shoot with purpose.

>>3858603
>Well I was seeing how much bokeh I could get from my cheapo superzoom, not everything has to be a masterpiece
why are you asking for criticism on a test shot? why do you have to be so defensive?

this.

>>3858919
I like the contrast between the flowers and the lights. Objective criticism are things like "this is not in focus". "this could be sharper". The photo has a subject and composition, you just don't like it. Photographers have their heads so far up their asses jesus christ

>>3858935

i dont even... you really should grow some thicker skin, friend. it's objectively shit

>>3858621
Yes, it is better because there is an apparent motif. I understand here at least what the photographer saw. But still, the result is boring, too simple. Yes, it is better because there is an apparent motif. I understand here at least what the photographer saw. But still, the result is boring, too simple. But I myself have no idea how to photograph this excitingly or show something exciting about it. Maybe a reflection in the glass, but that's already gymnastics, because it creates rather a substitute motif.

it's an almost textbook example of a brutalist buidling, one of the many built by the communists in my country after the war. It isn't one of the fancy ones, or the interesting ones, but its definitely brutalist.

> Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.[4][5] The style commonly makes use of exposed concrete or brick, angular geometric shapes and a predominantly monochrome colour palette;

Check, check and check.

>>3860014
>it's an almost textbook example of a brutalist buidling
It's apparent concrete "apparent"?
>No
Built by the communists but is that a factor into making it brutalist?
>Actually no
It isn't one of the fancy ones, or the interesting ones, so is its mundane nature part of the brutalism?
>No
Then it isn't you stupid donkey humper.

>Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions
False, see works of their founders: Marcel Breuer, Charles Jeanneret, Paul Rudolph
>showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design
True, the structural work is in part the decorative design based on bewilderment
>makes use of exposed concrete or brick, angular geometric shapes and a predominantly monochrome
Partially false, it is usually concrete only but usually textured, can or cannot be monochrome, it depends.
>Check, check and check.
Your picture does not check them because it breaks with the rules. You are an illiterate gorilla nigger, fuck your school and its playground.

Lol no. Just because the most famous examples stand out from the norm (that's why they are famous) doesn't mean that they are the norm.
Barebone, blocky, concrete, monotone, tall buildings are a staple for any city that was into brutalist architecture.

>>3858910
Just the right amount of exposure for a nighttime (+rainy?) shot, and I like that the line of lights actually leads somewhere (the East 42nd Street sign). I wish the lights formed a tighter line – the large gap between the first and second light makes them seem disjointed. Maybe a different focal length at a different angle would make the lights look more like a single, cohesive line. Another complaint is that the biggest and most prominent light is out of focus, so it makes it feel even more disconnected from the other lights.

Good shot but I think it could be even better.

>>3860024
>Just because the most famous examples stand out from the norm
The famous examples, all hundreds of them, do not stand out, they ARE the norm, hence why they set their style aside from the usual international modernism.
>Barebone, blocky, concrete, monotone
Concrete and barebones are the only attributes from brutalism, what you are referencing is the International Style cheaply done.

>>3859951
I give it a solid 8, there's a lot of variation throughout which makes it more interesting than the usual burnout building shot. I like the angle and the sporadic placement of the air conditioners

>>3860027
Well I wanted to capture the linear decrease in gap between the lights from that point of view, I think maybe if I got closer to the wall It would improve the look. Next time I'm out there I'll take another shot and compare

>>3860442
Now that's just over exposed.
I'll let you in on a little secret any photo that looks like it's properly exposed is over exposed and most that look under exposed are objectively more accurate and faithful.

Shitty LCDs don't match real world contrast so copelets use curves and other memes to simulate it at the cost of compressing highlights and shit. Like your edit. It looks washed out now and garbage.

Increase the brighrness of your monitor not the image. That's where people fuck up so badly in photos. They want overpowering brightness in details on a dim screen and wind up butchering the actual image to simulate that.

>>3860442
lmao you made it way worse, the exposure was fine before

>>3860483
>>3860725
kek thanks for your honesty
first time using a wide angle lens so yeah.. I don't know how to manage it yet
I shooted RAW using bracketing exposure and then I stacked the 3 photos in 1

>>3858600

Framing is all off, there is no empty space on the left side for the columns to lead to, it sort of just abruptly hits the edge of the frame, also the text is a good contrast to the pillars but takes up a bit too much space and in a weird position in the overall photo

>>3858919
>would you frame it?
>would you pay money for it?
>This is literally a "I just got my camera" tier photo.
Be honest, even the best photographer couldn't make something worthy of framing with that scene. Maybe some super macro but you need a lens for that.

>>3860857
can you post a single exposure without HDR memes?
I'm sure the scene would look good with a properly processed RAW from a single good exposure.

Stop trying to be cute your photo is shit because of what you've done to it. You know what you did.

Adjusting levels/gamma/curves/contrast, doing multiply/burn/linear blends, fucking whatever. I guarantee nobody gives a shit. The end result is horrible and that's all that matters. Calibrate your monitor and stay away from sliders.

hahaha i literally did none of that.. the main effect was reached completely outside of post production...

wanted you to guess.. but ok:/

also i didnt say my photo is not shit!!

>>3861642
Tolerable, but still too high on the contrast and a bit over saturated.
You can get this look SOOC so while inaccurate and rather unpleasant to look at it's not all too uncommon for photos like these to exist. It's the end result of trying to cram too much contrast into an SDR file. Normies playing with sliders do this all the time.

I was intentionally going for high contrast and saturation. I was trying to make it seem like the Bliss Windows XP wallpaper.
It wasn't my first edit on that photograph but rather my second more playful one.
I shot in RAW and then edited in photoshop + LR.
And while it may be SDR I felt HDR didnt make sense given the circumstances

What's with the black block on the left?
What's with the border near the part where the grass ends? Poorly masked or what?

Guess you failed then.
Look at Bliss side-by-side with your file.

Bliss isn't high contrast. It's well lit all around, the only real shadows are soft shadows from cloud cover. It's a natural looking image.
Regarding saturation it's simply drum scanned film, not artificially cranked saturation from a shitty Bayer CMOS sensor with interpolated color samples.

If you wanna capture Bliss style shots with nice colors you should look for a Foveon sensor to get decent color, get a tripod and scout for similar areas or as a general rule just aim for faithful rendering.

Most likely yes. I spent roughly an hour editing out a staircase and some lamp posts. I'll post the first more truthful edit of the photo in this comment.
>>3861695
That's unironically a nice collage.
>>3861717
I guess the vignette effect makes it look off when compared to the bliss wallpaper. Either way the grass on my photo has way much more detail compared with the soft bland grass on the left side.
For what it's worth I did use a tripod.
And while I don't understand much about the technical struggles of a Bayer CMOS sensor, I appreciate your input. Thanks.

That's good if you want your photos to be about the tuft of grass in the foreground of the photo...which I find completely uninteresting and kinda sloppy looking as a piece of the overall composition.

Rip this one up friends.

>>3862065
How would I solve that problem though?
Also great picture, did you make the driver stop where he was?

Don't use a wide angle lens and put something like overgrown grass in the foreground. Wide angle lens + foreground object puts phasis on that foreground object.

And no I don't know who that driver was I just used as fast a shutter speed as I could to freeze him as he drove by.

>>3862112
Thanks

>>3862021
The way you edited concrete floor out and enlarged the building or whatever effectively made it a collage. Also the staircase is better than having a black block. Cloning is a better way to go about it. A good manipulation looks like something from real life.

Don't beat yourself up. I would suggest more focus in your subject. It seems like you captured an entire area that you could have explored and took more time with smaller parts of the cemetery.
