If you are interested to see more photos, check out my last year photos which I personally think were far better than these one.

1/3 is the best for landscape
ReplyDeleteCHS
Chris, you gotta teach me, sounds like I have a lot to learn :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks!
too much sky in the photo. You can have more ground in this picture.
ReplyDeleteif you choose to have 1/3 ground, leave the rest for sky.
CHS
oppsss I forgot to tell you I am so drawn to take sky photos... i.e. more interested in changing colors of the sky then the ground.. But still I will try to take new photos as per your suggestions.. I am sure it will look much better :-))
ReplyDeleteany book suggestion to learn more about this for a beginner??
basically, landscape, 1/3. But when you a have special purpose or you just use the landscape(ground and sky) as backgroud, in that case, you can do whatever you want.
ReplyDeleteAbout book, I don't think it's necessary, unless you want to do some portraits with lighting. Anyway, it's always good to have a book to guide you.
In photography, exercises and experiences are most important things. Just browse more professional photos, that can help you to build another perspective.
Personally, I didn't take photography classes. My uncle is an experienced professional photograher, I learn most of photography skills with him.
CHS
Does your uncle needs an intern to hold his camera?? :-)))
ReplyDeleteWell I am surprised that you did not take any classes , cause your photos are awesome.. For some reason I always thought this is an area that you need a lot of guidance, aperture, focus, which lens to use, lighting etc... as I do not even know the functions of each button on my camera. I always put the blame on Baruch professors :-))) for giving me so much work..
I did not even open the manual yet.
Bu after reading your comment, I think it is about time to explore & learn new things.
Thanks again Chris, it is much appreciated.
Camera, buttons, lens, tripod, filter, flash.
ReplyDeleteAll the photography classes can do is to teach you how to use these equipments and some skills.
After then, it's your turn to create!
CHS
However, you still need to know those basic things about photography. If you have question, I would be happy to answer, just email me.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I like your photos and your blog, that's why I'm look for something new from you everyday.
You are artistic!
CHS
that's exactly my point, I started photography without knowing the basics and sometimes I feel at a total loss, therefore I need guidance whether it is from a person or from a book.
ReplyDeleteI have full confidence that I will learn it at some point cause I am very determined person, but I was so overwhelmed with my classes (20 credits per semester and a full time job) I decided to give a break for two months... spending time wt my parents and traveling in Europe are my ultimate goals and once I come back I might bother you wt my endless questions. :-))
Thanks for your patience....
