Hi all,
Firstly, I am a beginner in photography, I am not really familiar with professional photography techniques and bombastic terms but hey! everyone is here to learn so I hope you could forgive me for the amateur write-up and give me honest feedbacks!
1. In what area is critique to be sought?
Technique, Picture subject positioning, Colour composition, Exposure & whatever you think is absurd!
2. What one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I wanted to start off my photography journey, capturing simple landscapes. For instance, the pagoda in Chinese Garden, with the lake and the grassland. I came down to Chinese Garden at 7am in hope of a nice sky lighting, so as to grab a photo with a nice clear lake, grass and sky, together with the pagoda.
3. Under what circumstance is the picture taken?
Chinese Garden, approx 7.29am
Fuji X-E2, FUJINON LENS XF35mm
ISO 100,
F3.2,
1/180s
4. What the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture.
I love it but I think its a beginner's excitement HAHAHA. Upon closer look, I think that the sky is too white, but I have no idea how I can take a better photo with a more detailed sky, with all the linings and stuff (or is there no way to do so if the sky is apparently crystal clear like today and I should come back another day?). I read up a little after the photoshoot, and realised that I should have played with HDR and stuff (is this true?). Secondly, the HDBs, the pagoda and the grass seems to be equally attention seeking but my primary subject is the pagoda alone. The idea of taking the pagoda with the surrounding lake and sky seems to be diluted with the other structures (you get what I mean? :/). Besides these 2 points, I have no other comments on this picture. please be critical on me, beginner like me needs to be slapped hard w harsh comments! I am looking to hear from members as to how this photo can be improved.
