Hei everybody. So that no shocker I'm new to the community and new to photography. Have had DSLR for about 2 weeks now. Experimenting things and so on. These are my two favorite pictures at the moment. One is my first ever long exposure and the second one is just really like, it's taken in a bog in Estonia. Sun just had disappeared into the horizon and revealed really beautiful colors, love the scene so it was just the matter of setting up my camera and shoot some photos. This photo is made of several photos with different exposure levels. Btw that tree had a wasp nest in it with some really big wasps, scary stuff!
I use Nikon D5600 with surprise surprise 18-55mm kits lens.
I would really love to get some feedback from you
If these are your first images I must say you are very talented and it will be very interesting so what's to come. I like both images a lot. Regarding the second image if you go to the same place when there are more waves I think it can become incredible - I love long exposures and waves. You need to experiment with different exposure times to find the best one for the conditions at hand.
Anyway, wonderful work!
Thank you, that means alot! Yeah, I agree, that picture is lacking some drama. If i remember correctly it's 13sec exposure time, it gave me decent amount of light and made the sea soft, since there was so little movement. I will most definately revisit this place again. :)
I like the second shot for a couple of reasons; first, I like a more panoramic view of a Sunset and two, there is no distractions in the scene. It's quite pleasing.
The first has terrific color and the reflection is very nice, but the tree to the left is distracting. But, I wasn't there, so I don't have any idea what you had to deal with as far as surroundings go.
You've done some nice work here.
Thank you for kind words! :)
I have photos made by moving a little bit to the right so you can't see that tree, but for some reason I went with this one, I really liked the foreground. I'm thinking like it's kind of a framing things or it makes a leading line. You come from the bottom right and move by the roots up to the left upper corner and the branches with leaves brings you down to the sunset. :D don't know, it just crossed my mind. But thank you again for pointing it out :)
Art in general is quite subjective. The next person to read what I've said might think me daft. But that's the way of photography.
Like I said, I like what you've done. I just see things differently. When I take a Sunset shot, I almost always try to make the sky the main subject of the shot. Most of the time, it works, but not all of the time. Neither way, your's or mine, is wrong, it's just how we see things. Pretty boring place it this weren't true. :-)
