BATC: Composition Field Trip

OH how I struggled with this field trip! I didn't even take that many pictures and as I was looking through the 20 pics that I do have, I'm thinking "boring....boring...boring!" I now see what you mean, Alexis, about interesting perspective and angles. Though it doesn't mean that I can see creatively yet. On the plus side, I sort of figured out the border thing... but there has to be a better (and by better I mean faster) way of doing this! BTW, I'm starting to love shooting in RAW and Manual, but ever since I started shooting in RAW, pics are grainier than before? Is it because of PICASA??

Settings: ISO 400, f2.8, ss 1/250


If it were spring, this shot would be SWEET,
I still love the blue window in the background though.




Settings: ISO 400, f2.8, ss 1/2000


Montague.... like Romeo and Juliet!

I remember when you were lecturing about how if the subject is on the left, the image is stronger. I always like the right! Must be because I was born in a different country!

The barrel was kind of blah, so I kicked it up a notch in photoshop.

i LOVE the first picture. It reminds me of Holland....not that I have ever been there, but maybe how I picture it in my head. And there is just that one last flower holding on......

Great shots I think!

These are really great shots. I like the angle of the flowers with the window blurred. It's so fun to get shots that we like. Great job.

I love the picture of the barrel, maybe its because I love old fashioned things like that! Great job
