I’m a high school student and interested in photography.
This was part of an assignment on aperture and shutter speed.
I want to improve and thought this could be a good way, so be please be brutally honest in what ways this could be better. Thank you.
Just a few shots - not of the art but the building interior!
A stone shepherd's cabin with an orange roof beside a high-altitude lake in the province of Leon during an unexpected late spring snowfall.
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

Hi Kimberly, good luck wherever your photography interests take you!
Quick basic answer, this a good starter shot. Good focus on main subject, good separation between foreground background, however, the background pieces may be a bit too blurred for me in this shot and is almost too distracting, I would try just a little less blurred out by increasing your depth of field a little bit, that is personal preference.
There's quite a bit more I and others on this site could say to offer suggestion, but as a basic product shot it is headed in the right direction.
Do you do any post processing work yet, such as Photoshop or other software, apps, etc. ?
If you would like to hear more suggestions on how to finish this image let me know :)
Hope you don't mind, I was liking the idea of this image B&W with a slight warm tone added in, plus I straightened it a tad, maybe food for thought for one possible option on how how to finish a shot like this.
Thank you for you’re suggestions, I think I agree, for a stand alone shot the background might be too blurred (this was part of three, explaining aperture). I edited this slightly but I like the take on black and white, definitely gives it a classic feel. I appreciate your help, thanks :)
