Moar Photography

Caveat - I took these with a point and shoot and there is no editing done, hence the lack of definition and all that jazz. I hope that in about a year, I will have saved up enough to get a professional camera to really get going.


In the Freud Museum in Austria.


My favorite. The fact that this came out still astounds me. The bird was dive bombing me on a little island in Iceland and I got this shot as I was running to dodge it.


Latrabjarg, Iceland. No zoom there.

No need to sell yourself short, all the editing in the world cannot make up for good composition. I'm certainly no professional, but I like what I see here.

The first photo (Austria) has a good balance between the plain and simple walls and couch inside, with that of the more detailed building outside. The second photo (bird in flight) could perhaps have benefited from a less flat sky (what? no sacrifices to weather gods?), but even still the subject really draws attention to itself quite well. The third photo (Iceland) has spectacular color; how close to the bird were you able to get (no zoom)? The fourth photo (Oaxaca) conveys a good sense of movement and story; and because the child was photographed at about his level, it helps draw in the viewer to the scene.

But maybe I'm just over analyzing. What do I know? Still, they're all good photos.

Nice photos, and i disagree with the second comment: The second photo looks awesome because of the flat sky. And yes, you could benefit from a little photo editing the first photo is slightly tilted to the left, and you could remove the lens distortion.

No shame in editing, almost all chemical photos were edited once you got to the dark room (specially to do subtle stuff like what I've suggested for the first photo).

The first photo is really good, if you do decide to do some editing, remove the lens distortion first, then tilt it to the right (you will go nuts trying to do it the other way around)
