p.1 #1 · New enthusiast first time with showing my photography


I just picked up photography as a hobby and I am loving it so far. I've never posted anything I've taken until now, but I am not still confident in my work and have sooooooo much to learn, but I just found this forum and saw how friendly and helpful everyone is, so I figured why not!

All photos were taken with my Canon 80D APS-C camera and inexpensive lenses and all have some level of post-processing, which I hope is allowed here. Apologies if it isn't and feel free to remove my post. I can't wait to be able to afford a good full frame for this type of photography that I enjoy.

I also posted a few more photos in the City, Street and Architecture forum.

Please be nice.

Ray, here on no. 2, I would crop the top inch or perhaps even a bit more off as it shows here. I like no. 3 quite a bit, no, 4 seems either underexposed or tonally shifted. But again, it is your art. Welcome aboard, I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your "vision"!

Douglas, glad you enjoyed the tree photo! There's a different version of the train tracks photo in my post in the B&W forum if you care to see that, Yes, the bridge was underexposed and tonally shifted in post, but I don't want to enjoy my "art" alone as it's important to me that others get/like it as well, so thanks a lot for your feedback.

Ray,

Welcome to the board! My fav is the rr tracks - something of an analog, smoother vibe and sense of depth from layering.

I look forward to your future posts,

Bob

Raylearns!

I love the first, with the tree reclaiming the skyscraper. The second continues documenting the clawback of nature and is another demonstration of urbex. Keep on!

More fine compositions "r.n.l"!
Black and white is a subject I spend countless hours trying to improve upon.
Way more difficult than color!
Again WELCOME!

Thanks a lot, Dan. I happen to be quite fond of it myself, I am finding.

The track one — looks like a place to revisit and shoot some more.

I agree. Unfortunately, I was just visiting Austin, as I live in South Florida.

Thanks. I know the photo may not look that way (in which case, I succeeded), but this is smack in the center of the city, here.
