Very nice pictures, but I don’t know: do garlic and ginger even go together? I’m not really into either garlic OR ginger, but somehow I don’t think they relate to each other than the fact that they both start with “G” and I now know that they look really nice together in a picture. 🙂 Let me know if I’m wrong about…[Read more]

In regards to the last one having too much space, I can definitely see why you’d think that! I guess the thing is, is that it all depends on what the purpose of the photo is.

Makes sense. And now looking at it again, I think it’s partially a perspective thing. I don’t know that I would’ve thought it looked as s…[Read more]

Yep, I would never know those pictures were from a foreign country if I didn’t know 😉

Also, you guys having a different currency to Australian’s made for an interesting predicament

Hah, I was wondering if that was going to be a problem for you! Glad you were able to work something out despite the obstacles, though! 🙂

Glad to help, Kina!

Hi Caitlin! Just wanted to say I love your pictures! And I like the middle one the best. The first one feels too close and the third one feels too spacious – the middle one feels just right. Just my opinion.
I think the other reason that one is my favorite is you can actually see the dog’s head. In the first one my attention was initially drawn to…[Read more]

Hey @ryanben2 – neat mushroom! I don’t often take pictures of mushrooms, but I just noticed some large ones in my yard so this makes me want to go out and try to get a cool picture of them. 🙂

Two things strike me right away when I look at these pictures: there seems to be quite a bit of grain in the pictures, and you’ve got some blown out…[Read more]

Hard and deep? Ok, here’s my best shot (although I do have to say I don’t recall ever feeling like you’ve gone “hard and deep” in your critique of my photos) –

Photo 1 – It feels like it’s the bottom half /two-thirds of a vertical photo – the firework itself is cut off. Although it does draw the attention to the firework shooting up more than i…[Read more]

Didn’t have a penny bank, so made due with what we did have!

And here are a few more…

This made for some interesting photo shoots with extravagant me throwing money all over the place and trying not to let my grandmother who we were visiting think I had gone off my rocker! 😀 I had siblings stationed to keep me posted on her whereabouts so I could clean up before she came through. It gave us lots of good laughs with a few close…[Read more]

Great question, Kina!

If someone is facing straight at you and you focus on one eye, the other eye will still be in focus because both eyes are in the same plane of focus. If the person is angled so one eye is closer, then you have to choose which eye to focus on, right? What do you do? (Now of course, there are a lot of variables could be talked…[Read more]

And one of my sisters and I custom-created a picturesque area in our woods 😀

Here are some picnic tables that my brother and I just “happened” to find as we tried to think of local picturesque places 🙂

Here are my submissions. The weather was rainy and cloudy all week but the sun finally peeked out yesterday and I was able to get some pictures! @jamesstaddon, just so you know I didn’t crop any of the pictures; I figured that would give you more flexibility.

Some of a bench…

Yes that’s looking better.

Getting close to the ground is a good idea – I consciously thought of that before I took the picture, so I lowered my tripod to the lowest setting.

I think there are a few reasons that I, as a viewer, can’t tell that you are close to the ground.
– The only thing in the “immediate” foreground are the leaves in the t…[Read more]

and printed out thumbnail photos of the poses on a sheet of paper, so that they could see it and copy it

Great idea, Caitlin! When I did our family photo shoot, I sketched out ideas, but I was never very good at drawing and it was a bit tedious. I like your idea better! :p

Congrats on getting the effect, Kina! 🙂
I agree with the comments that @jinnyschober made. Find a unique angle and it’ll look less like a snapshot!

The colors in the photo strike me as being a bit cool, so maybe warm it up in editing.

Oops sorry about that, I thought I had put it in full screen but I guess not!

Aww so cute!!

If you want things to improve it:
-The reddish blur on the left side of the picture next to the rabbit is distracting
-Somehow the picture feels crooked or lop-sided, and I’m trying to figure out why. I think maybe because there’s more hay in the foreground on the right bottom corner than on the other side?
-I don’t know, maybe…[Read more]
