Help Me Pick A Photo

Brigliadore · 08-24-2004, 11:50 PM

Ok I got a SLR last year for my birthday and have been taking a few photos with it during the last year. I have no training so most are crap. Just for fun I have decided to enter some of the photos in the State Fair in a few weeks. I don't expect to win, but I think it will be fun to at least enter. So I have picked the photos I think are my best (I know that says a lot for the rest of the crap I must have taken) and want all your help narrowing it down to 3. So let me know which in the lot you all think are the 3 best, thanks.

I thought they were all good but I gotta go with image 1 and image 6. Image one looks like lonliness and image 6 looks like cold. I love it! good job! I like image 7, too, but for some reason I like image 1 a little better. Just my preference.

6, 8, and the shitter.

I'm with Brianna...if you can enter them all, do it! But if not, I'd go for 2,3,4,6 and 8. And of those, 2, 6 and 8.

Several of these are really good. In order of my favorite to least favorite:
6, 7, 1, 4, 2, 3, 8, 5

Clodfobble · 08-25-2004, 08:43 AM

I like 4, 5, and 6

2, 3, and 4 really caught my eye.

Brigliadore · 08-25-2004, 10:57 AM

A lot of you like 6. I had another version of 7 I liked better but I cant crop it the way it needs to be without loosing important stuff. Here it is just for fun. Alan's dad runs a recking yard and there are some really neat old cars out there. Most are just the shell of the car now but they are still pretty cool. Thats where #1 and 7 were taken.

Other great magazines to consider:

Shutterbug

I went to my first trade show after reading this mag. Got some pretty cool deals on some filters and grabbed up a ton of information.
so if you see one coming to your area, I would go and check it out.

good ideas Lsyc.

outdoor pho... was the only one i subscribed to, but i worked in a camera store so i did get to read the rest.

what i did is get all of the backpacking and mountainclimbing mags and just studied what they had in there. also travel brochures are great.

i think for most people technique is easy to learn, composition is the hard part for many. the whole art vs science thing.
