Photo Critique Approved

Liked the 1st one. Although I would've preferred to see more of the background in the pic. The others pics are okayish.

P.S. : Isn't that a Hyundai Getz and not an Indica?

[Aryan]

I liked the 'Undercover Car' picture; rest are run of the mill photographs Inder. :o

Rightly said Aryan. I totally agree with you.

Inder, you need to take more pictures, move out often, carry and shoot pictures, see other people's good photographs... convey a feeling through this medium.

I am not sure if I am making much sense here.

@ Xavier, Aryan and Ken : Thanks for your comments guys..will try to venture out more..!! :)

But, are those shots corrent in terms of the subject being chosen..?

There is no correct or incorrect subject. You can have any subject. You should tell an interesting story through your shots, framing should be spot on, like the rule of thirds as followed and elucidated by Vicky, playing around with the exposure, colors and b/w etc... the possibilities are endless. It is an endless learning process with amazing potential and one has to be ready to face a lot of flack.

[Xavier]

Sorry to say, but none of these 3 pics are 'doing' anything for me. :(

[KrishnenduKes]

I kinda agree with Xavier too.

But I do feel that there will be evolution as you keep shooting varying your options and changing your possibilities. It will take time as you begin to exploit light, times of the day, colours, framing, playing around with shutter speed, opening aperture to get bokeh etc...

Keep shooting... 50, 60 shots a day of varied subjects in varied options.

Convert the first pic to a high contrast B&W, Inder. Would look loads better. :)

Something like this?

Pretty much what I had in my mind. Some Faux-eh would be nice too, come to think of it. :D

Faux-eh?
False-bokeh? :confused:

[synn]

Yep. Enter photoshop. :D

[Xavier]

Entered :p

Any good?

[synn]

Slightly extreme, IMO. There's a filter called "lens blur" which will give a more natural look and feel.

We probably should take this discussion to another thread, haha.

Whew! I give up for now :p
There are already 3-4 versions of Inder's pic on my comp now! :D

[KrishnenduKes]

Yeah. A little extreme in my opinion too. Guy looks like he is walking on air. Even Jesus has not done it... yet!

Yes, maybe you guys should take this to Vicky's thread of photo manipulation in Jaisalmer.

[Xavier]

Ok, my very last shot at it. I promise, no more after this :p

Hey inder i am just curious, isnt it you only in the first pic? If yes then it means its clicked by someone else.

Not necessarily, he could have used a tripod or some kind of a support structure.

[BANDHAV]

Could be the case, but let Mr. Inder answer this :).

Definitely. And I had used 'could have' in my previous post.
