Some C&C From You All....

I've never done this before. I'm going to upload my architecture only for your beady eyes.








That's the lot of it I guess. Got my first camera this year and I'm loving it so far. A great break from art I suppose!

I think the gradient from black to white in the first one is a bit too strong and smooth. Really just looks like black to white gradient tool pulled from the bottom to top without any real effort put into making it look somewhat real

Other two are fantastic though

BlastedGlute

Your bang on with that first one. I was going to leave it out, but its a good idea to put up all of my stuff in that vein so far. If I was to do that again, I'd take the picture better to begin with and I'd defo go a lot shallower with the gradient like you said! Thanks a lot for the comment!

Don't get me wrong, I like the composition of the photo. It has a nice symmetry and peace about it. Really, the gradient is the only issue

PCPhoto

maybe its my eyes but is there a slight blue tint in the third image

composition is fairly decent in all the images - ....the gradient is really obvious (after revisiting the image following the other comments) - personally I'd crop it into an upright and get the symmetry without the distracting buoy thingy on the left.

sky/background in all the images are ....dare I say it ... too clean !! (for me)

BlastedGlute

Thanks a lot pcphoto! Yeah the gradient is glaring alright. As I said above, if I was to revisit the image I would shoot it differently to begin with, allowing for a more stretched to the horizon kind of look. There is indeed a blue tint in the glass at the end. I didn't saturate it fully. Thanks very much for the comments, this is a great way to get feedback should have done it sooner

but then you'd lose the symmetry of the buoy thingy on the right...

I like them! What's the gradient, is it artificial from the shop, or was it naturally there? I like it either way

Are they in Galway? 2nd looks like the building across from the Cathedral?

BlastedGlute

No I'm atria there was actually a big boat there, the gradient is fake and the more I look at it and discuss it here the more I hate it!!!! I don't know what I was thinking making it so dark. All of these are in Galway alright, the second one is the building on the corner of the block, across from the pile of scrap metal on the docks!

PopeBuckfastXVI

Ah yes, I know it! Well not too worry, you can always reshoot

Super images, I love #1 & #3. The processing and B&W conversion is super, really like the style!

thanks very much folks! My portfolio is over here by the way if anyone is interested. I highly recommend deviant art for the free portfolio like the one I have here, you cant go wrong. simplistic and effective!
