Wow, that is some beautiful country side. Great pics!
Love that countryside...*points and thinks: Off road bikes*...and the barn is just great, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Shinpachi.Please let me say, Aaron that you have already got a professional sense of photographer.
Awesome, really awesome...you can live on it!
My focal point was the distant mountain ridge in the distance. But with the high humidity they barely show up in the shot. Maybe with a little PS I can fix that. Thank you for pointing that out Lee.Big improvment Aaron IMHO first shot is better than the second as the barn is closer to one third of the images total area and I like the positioning being not slp bang in the middle, however I still think if shot 1subjet (barn and hedge filled the frame more it would be the better of the two . Im not saying that the thirds rule always works as things like aircraft tend to be record shots so the subject matter in general rules the frame.
The second from last shot lacks a focal point when you first look at the pcture your eye dances around I found my eye bouncing between the clump of trees and the building and telegraph pole to the left.
I certainly dont get it right as often as I would like Aaron and what looks good in the view finder has a habit of not looking so good in print this is because we see in stereo and apart from Plate and waiste level view finders we have to compose with one eye. LCD screens lack contrast and unless you fit a pop up hood suffer from light bleed during daylight In general they also tend to be rather small and use up battery power having said all that you have made a good job with the barn shot I like it. The window in the barn reminds me of a shot by Eugen Smith although most of his work was Portriats as here IMO hes one of the top 10 photographers of the last century W. Eugene Smith
If it was easy it would be boring Aaron thats the reason I love Photography
Thank you Eric. I took a slight risk walking out on posted property but I didn't want those stinkin power lines in the shot. Again, Thank all of you for browsing and critiquing, you have helped a lot and it keeps driving me to do better.Well done, Aaron. It makes a big difference when the sun is lighting up your subject, as opposed to back-lighting it. They both have their place in composition, but these came out very nice.
Aaron, hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd post a couple photos that would directly relate to you're "power line" comment...I took a slight risk walking out on posted property but I didn't want those stinkin power lines in the shot. Again, Thank all of you for browsing and critiquing, you have helped a lot and it keeps driving me to do better.
