I'm no professional photographer, but I think it looks rather awesome as it is.

Thanks Gerard.
I really, really had to take a break from 3D and thought I would take a few pictures and get some tips and pointers.
Here's another.

Yeh, photography can definately be more relaxing than 3d. Certainly the shots you've taken here have a very quiet relaxing nature to them.

Hey dude nice image, in terms of compostion try and make it line up with the bottom left dot in my image.

Composition is a strange creature, setting up just to the rules isnt always the best, but is a good start.

I just use 2 L pieces of paper and make a square from it and move them around to get my composition.

The photo you have is fine, I wouldnt give the composition any real crit because the photo is so simple.

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

It looks fine from what I see. Applying the golden grid rule works sometimes, but having a new perspective of things is always fun to see and use sometimes. Nice picture.

yeah some nice shots, good framing etc.. but I think acaroid has a point that its hard to really cristise such a simple subject, not to say that it was effortless just very bare and clean. I'd say branch out and try to do some portraits or something. I kind of feel that photography is a bit like journalism. to get some really thought provoking images you have to get down into some serious reality and capture moments that most people wouldnt capture because they wouldnt have a camera with them or know how to use it on the fly. you know like really candid pictures of people etc..

Thanks for the input so far. Your points are well taken. I suppose I am thinking a bit simplistically. I figured I'd start with standard primitives so to speak.
I think one problem I have is, I get trigger happy. It happens, right?

So the consensus is, I just need to relax and be more creative?

Chris

Trigger happy is fine if you're shooting with digital.

I think I'm working at the ratio of about 100:1.

I take about a hundred crap photos for every usable one.

And because of this, my camera is set to tick over the 10,000 mark very soon.

Are you counting multiple shots of the same subject in your 100:1 ratio?

---

Chris

yes that's what I mean. If I'm taking a photo of something I take about 100 different shots and use the best.

I should be a little more snappy then, because I only take around 10 or 12 per subject. I thought THAT was generous.

---

Chris

Haha nah I just take a rediculous amount of photos.

Wow that's a lot.

hahaha me too. It frightens me when I come home after a shoot with 400 images of the same subject, just experementing on getting it right. I usually shoot people so the chances of gtting the perfect shot are lessened by how the person reacts to being photographed... but the trouble is narrowing that stupid amount of images down to just one or two favourites.

With mine I'll usually only have maybe one or two that stand out above the rest. So its easy to spot them haha.
