p.1 #1 · Candid Shot of my Sister


I took this photo of my sister the other day when I was testing out a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS on my 20D. I had rented the lens for an event and was just getting some shots.

My sister happened to be working out in the front room of our house, and I went down low and got this shot before she started. Did some editing in Lightroom and here it is.

There's no connection to the subject and nothing to look at. Not a great composition.

That's a picture of a window blind, unfortunately.

Thanks for the critique. I understand what you both are saying. I'll keep this in mind for future photos.

the context helps - specifically your words on the subject. i don't think it's the greatest photo ever taken, but i think it's interesting. i like how her hand is in focus, which kind of draws your eye there, and then you start to ask questions or notice details - her shorts, the lettering on there, the socks, then the weight with what appears to be duct tape on there.

i disagree that it's just a picture of a blind, and i also disagree that there's nothing to look at. it's different. it's not going on my wall, but i don't think it's a zero context/content throwaway. this is a document.

also, maybe this is just the lighting but maybe you did it in post: there seems to be kind of a halo around her shoulder and face that is distracting. if you're looking for input on such minutiae
