Valid criticism or even better, creative suggestions regarding printing, edits, ideas for next time, etc., are most welcome.
This is one of the photos I took on my wife and I's recent honeymoon to Cabo. Full description in my profile.
D3200, 20 mm, f7.1, 8 s, ISO 100
10 stop + 0.9 soft grad ND
Nice colours, but do I see the curvature of the earth?
Yes, a bit. This was my 18-55 mm kit lens and although I have a crop sensor, there must still be a little warping because I had the camera tilted down slightly
Nice image, Thomas!
In this edit, I have rotated it 0.5 degree anticlockwise, and corrected for barrel distortion (17 out of 100 on my software - quite a bit!) and your horizon looks right to me now. Downward tilt will not bend straight lines. Your camera was tilted sideways a bit and the curvature is inherent in the lens, but jpegs are often compensated for this automatically in software. Don't know why that didn't happen here.
Hi Thomas, I hope you will take this, not as criticism, but rather as suggestions. I think you have good eye and this is meant to help.
I think this image has a couple of issues for me. Even though the rock in the front may be the intended primary subject, it is not as strong as the large, dark rocks above it. And, since these are shot from the back side of the light, they are too dark to carry the image. So, my eyes roam around without falling on a main subject.
The most interesting part of this image is the rock with cool patterns in the sand from the receding water. Perhaps a crop like this might be of interest?
Again - these are just my thoughts and with well wishes.
