I'm also new.. but.. think its a little soft?

foxtwo · 24th February 2005

it's overexposed. your whites are blown.

Stefen · 24th February 2005

the pic appears to cluttered. play with the depth of field, as well as try to move closer to the subject

espn · 24th February 2005

The image tells no story. Doesn't portray what you want to tell me. It looks like a snap shot more than a shot.

Just being truthful. Technical details aside like soft, artifects, horizon slanted, DOF apart, that is.

everthing is good except one thing: it looks a bit out of focus. nontheless its a very good candid. u captured the moment just at the right time. the tilting of the frame adds a sense of dynamism coupled with the use of longer focal length to bring in a sense of closeness to the conversation the girls were engaging in. the DoF is nice enough to blur out the background yet let the viewer recognise the background.

Luval · 24th February 2005

yah.. it not in focus also the way i see it.. n where is your subject .. it al over the frame.. .. nevermind.. keep shoot. and learn from mistake.. that how i learn also.. not so bad when you using digital.... i went throu it using film and i din even know that i didnt wind my film in properly until the uncle tell me after a development

shan_gui · 26th February 2005

i agree totally abt the white is overexposed. actualy, that shot was made in a hurry. coz she running away. i actually wanna take a second shot buttttt. no chance.i lazy to ps it.hehe

another thing is i curious abt something. actually the pic is quite sharp and the tone is not so soft one. but i don know how to resize it proper. i use a veri topid method. i print screen it and paste it can cut. is there a better way. i realise the quality drop so much.it was originally 3mb+ but after the print screen it became 89kb.

oya. espn comment on telling a story in a picture. i had no clue in capturing that can u enlighten mi more and oso the difference between snapshot and shot.

user111 say i was out of focus but yet a gd dof. can u explain more abt the out of focus part.thks

luval say that my subject was all over the frame.yet the dof was correctly used. i thought i had use the 5.6 aperture which is the smallest that my 300d can go.as u know i onli had the kit len. can u explain to mi how to focus more on the subject and not have it all over the frame.hee.great help to mi.

im really new. don mind if u can further enhanced the point. all of your point sound like a grave mistake that i had make. i hope to correct his point so i can improve. thks.

hi,

you have interesting elements in your photo, vivid colours, interesting costumes/subjects and a sense of occasion and performance. if this photo was the ONLY shot you took of them, that's where you can definitely improve next time: work the subject as much as you can, don't skimp on film or digital images. don't be afraid to hang around the girls longer, trying out different photo angles and focal lengths, going closer, waiting for some interaction between your subjects (e.g. friendly banter). you will find that at least one of your photos will capture the moment and tell the story that you want.

hope this helps and happy shooting!

pangxie · 27th February 2005
