Good Photos

This is just a little snap I took with my iPhone outside my townhouse in Ashland a couple of days ago. Love the beautiful Fall colors.

Great color! Phone cameras are getting better and better.

Nicely framed and great exposure.

I usually avoid people in landscape shots, but this one seems to add a contemplative air.

I took this yesterday. Sunset is a cliche and people might be bored listening about my 911, but still …

iPhone 15 Pro,
In front of Perkins Memorial Tower
11/10/2024 at dusk
Lightly edited with iPhone editor: Mid-tones, contrast, saturation slightly upped
Shadows, highlights slightly downed
Took a little liberty with warmth

I opened the photo to size on my desktop, and liked it more at the increased size- just a bit more detail revealed. Then I pulled the shadow slider up a bit for a bit more detail.

I bet at full size- original, it looks even better. Nice shot!

This is how it came out of the camera… no edits

The video had my pal dead center, but for a still I "moved him". At least pleased to get the horizon straight on a vid!

I’m not a photographer. No real eye for composition or anything but I do have an interest in improving and I would welcome any critiques.

Personally, I’d like the picture more without the car. But I wonder, are the leafless branches in the foreground distracting or do they say something about time and place?

 

[jpmcwjr]

I like this one a lot, except for the car, and the one large branch that terminates. Both can be removed in Photoshop or other photo editors.

The steeple is tilting! Even if it actually is, it's distracting. A simple small rotation will fix that and I don't see anything in the foreground that'd distract from that.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. I don’t really know how to use Photoshop but I did rotate the image and I cropped it to remove the car and the distracting branch.

I like the way the creek leads the viewer's eye into the photo. Nicely done!
