The beauty there is astounding
Now let’s talk about your photos
First off let me touch on a pet peeve if mine…..
When people criticize their own photos when there is no need to in this case or even if there is a need fir me irs about getting out there enjoying what you see and taking photos to share with others.
Sure we can all look at our photos and find things we would like to improve and work on that I know some really like my photos but that’s something I think about every time I look at my photos and how I could make them better not criticizing my photos but always striving to improve
But enough about my photos back to yours one of the most important things to get right with photography in my mind is composition some need to study it other just have a natural eye fir it.
But IMHO I think that’s something you nailed in everyone if these photos which makes them so pleasing to the viewer
One of the principles is the rule of thirds which says the photo should be aligned with the spots marked by the intersections of line would be if you divide the image into thirds
Now I know I didn’t explain that well if you don’t know what I mean look it up it’s explained better online
You gave composed each of these photos so ones eyes are drawn to the beauty and main focus of the photo immediately.
So I think these are great photos and you should be proud of them sure want to improve but ve happy where you are at now
Have a great day
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I know that I am probably more critical than I should be. I think part of it comes from the fact that my dad was a photographer, so I am always trying to live up to that standard...
I understand what your saying but you are doing great keep at it
I think @tattoodjay explained it well 😁.. Some cameras even have the grid work laid out in the eye piece or field of view. Basically a tic-tac-toe grid and you line up the subject so that it is centered at an intersection point. Anymore, I wing it and then rely on editing things into position later on.
Looks like this shot below @bozz. This is a Jellyfish that was floating in the bay. I took the shot off a dock and made sure that the Jelly intersected with one of the 'Thirds' lines like so...
I took my favorite shot of yours and cropped it to fit the rule of thirds.
Here is your original of Lake Mullet Sunset (A beauty of a shot too!)
And now I will crop and apply the rule of thirds.
Most people just center the subject, and that's cool too because often there is a ton going on to where it would be hard to use this rule. Like your waterfall photo, in that case I just follow the abbreviated third rule - I just divide the frame into thirds.. 1/3 sky, 1/3 subject, and then 1/3 foreground.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
