10 Aug 22 Reply Great suggestion! I always struggle with my car photos as to what to crop and what to leave in. I have to keep in mind that each photo doesn't need to capture everything, but I can instead capture bits and pieces that stand out on their own. --Carrie Aug 22nd
10 Aug 22 Reply Thanks for the suggestions! I would need to be taller in order to get more of the bumper and as much of the hood as I did, but it's worth me trying different shots in the future...some with more hood and some with more bumper. --Carrie Aug 22nd
10 Aug 22 Comment Interesting shot! I haven't tried the panning technique (intentionally), but your shot makes me think that it's worth trying even if I end up with an abstract photo. --Carrie Aug 22nd
10 Aug 22 Comment I like the shape of the flower when you spend time really looking at it...the "one o'clock" petal is just a bit raised and gives a "look at me" feel to that side of the flower. The bokeh works really well with framing other yellow flowers to add visual/blurred interest. Do you use Topaz often? I have a few software options beyond Photoshop that I rarely use, but I'm thinking that Topaz might be a fun option to have as well. --Carrie Aug 15th
10 Aug 22 Reply Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on trying to remember to really straighten my images. I must tilt my head automatically when I'm processing my photos and I don't see the tilt until they're posted here for evaluation. You're right, though, the tilt is distracting. --Carrie Aug 15th
10 Aug 22 Reply You're right, it was under a tree. I questioned whether I should smooth out the texture in Photoshop. At car shows, the cars are rarely parked in the perfect spots to avoid reflections and shadows. I'm always wondering what looks okay in the shot, especially since it isn't a product-shot, which would need to be clean of distracting reflections. Aug 15th
10 Aug 22 Reply Thank you for the feedback! The "above shot" is new for me and pushes my perspective...my favorite angle is down low from the front corner to catch the side and frontend with a wide-angle lens. Ultimately, I'm trying to be more "zen" while at car shows because if I keep fighting the crowd (and reflections) for the perfect shot, I no longer enjoying the event. --Carrie Aug 15th
10 Aug 22 Reply The brightened colors work well. The point of view reminds me of drone photography, which is popular now. I think it's interesting to have the buildings crowding toward the right edge...it emphasizes the idea that they're building on every inch of land along this coast. --Carrie Aug 15th
10 Aug 22 Comment I wouldn't have guessed that this was an echinacea, but you're right that it doesn't matter because the end result is very cool to look at. I love the details at the very middle and the ombre effect of the orange to yellow. --Carrie Aug 11th
10 Aug 22 Comment Nice job catching the crashing waves at several levels of the photo. I am always challenged with catching the perfect breaks. The color contrast in the waves works well. My only suggestion might be to add more contrast to the shoreline in the back, though I realize that atmosphere and distance may make this a challenge during post processing. Aug 11th
