What do you think of this photo? I slowed down the shutter speed and it turned out really cool. I've been playing a lot with pictures recently and would like some feedback. Opinons, critiques, etc? Positive or negative are welcome.

Slowing down the shutter speed is a good technique. This will make a good background, but it needs a subject. Perhaps if you have a good photographs of a bird flying, you can add it to this picture (if you have the software to do it).

Continue to experiment. That's what being a photographer is all about. Anyone can point a camera and press the shutter, but when you compose and use technical skills, then you're creating art.

Thanks for the feedback. I consider the waves the subject - and I'm sort of confused as to why you would want me to put a bird in with the waves. Maybe a fish - or a rock, but a bird?

try a different angle... at the back or front of the wave. hehehe! i hope i help something.


myLot reputation of 96/100. crazyredhead (461)   ranked 63 out of 3,128 in photography  8 months ago

Getting to the back or front of the wave would be difficult but thanks for mentioning a different angle. I could get down to the shore bed and take it at the water level and that would make for a neat shot too.

You have a silky look to the waves and it is very effective. It would have been better with more waves, but then we shoot what is present. I find that I learn a lot when I experiment with my camera. Trying is the best teacher.

Good photo, keep up the good work.

Yeah, it was really just a stop on the way home from shopping one day. I saw the water under the bridge and stopped to take some pictures. Didn't have a whole lot of time and there were a lot of rocks around so I got some of the rocks but this was intended to be just the waves, I like it. Thanks!

Well, once again I had to go all around the mulberry bush to get to see the photo, lol. It looks good to me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. crazyredhead (461)   ranked 63 out of 3,128 in photography  7 months ago

Thanks and thanks also for taking such a long journey to see my photo. I hope the journey was okay and next time I will add it as well as link it so you don't have to do so much.
