This week, the images are from different locations in London. There is no inherent theme behind them; they are simply formal photographs of things and people in London.
You have some amazingly strong compositions going on this week! I really like how you placed the construction worker in the frame, as well as the small shoe image.
Some of this week's selection is a bit underexposed. The first three images (construction worker, woman through a window, and the plane in some shrubbery) all look too dark. I understand the want for dramatic contrast between the construction worker's reflective uniform and the darker environment. However, I do think you could have emphasized the reflective material further by bumping up the exposure -- an easy fix in post production! For the second photo with the woman, you are starting to loose details in the shadows. And lastly, the lighting of the plane gives the image an ominous feel, but I don't know that the use of this was the most appropriate for this subject.
I do very much like the lighting of the last two photos (man with his briefcase, and the baby shoe), though! It is in my nature to tend to shy away from having my shadow in the photo, but I really enjoy how you handle your cast in the business man image. For the little show photo, it did get a head tilt and a small giggle out of me. I rather enjoy this one! It looks like you may have been getting close to golden hour (or maybe it is the orange of the brick tricking me). Either way I love the detail that was retained on the shadows of this image!
Austin I really love your pictures for this week. I think the subject matter you found is really interesting, and I like looking at them a lot. Some of the photos are kinda dark, which I think kinda works for most of them, but if thats not what you were going for, you know how to fix it. I like the window picture best!
Austin, Great images this week! In particular I enjoy how you’ve framed your images especially in the second and final photographs. In general I like the darker lighting in the first three shots but I do wish there was some more information in the first image, specifically in the walls framing the man, just because I do think he’s framed well but it’s a little hard to pick out from the background.
Austin!
