this is a blatantly obvious bump
I like the historical concept.
Some have a little crushed blacks which I don't care for but overall nice series.
>>2908788
Fucked up exposure. The car is the subject, not the sky. You've got clouds exposed, but the car is fucking black. Shooting in midday sun like this, you can't have it both ways. Also, composition is dildos. It looks like the car is there by accident, not on purpose.
>>2908789
>power lines
Why? Why the fuck do people persist in doing this when they're just starting out? Is it the lines? Is it the simplicity of the subject? Also, exposure is shit again. The trees and power lines are too dark. If you want them in silhouette, then go all the way. This almost-but-not-quite exposure is garbage.
>>2908790
A muddled train wreck. If you're going to shoot a butterfly, then nail your focus and use your knowledge of exposure and depth of field to isolate it. In a B&W shot like this, it's just lost.
>>2908792
Honestly, that light was just garbage. You didn't have a change. Also, too much head room. Also, all the other random people walking about are distracting.
>>2908794
At least it's straight on one side. Needs PC on the right side, though. Yet another shot of nicely exposed clouds and dark shit elsewhere.
You know what? All my comments apply to the rest of the shots. These are just snapshits. Obviously, something caught your eye in each scene, but you didn't use a damn tool available to you as a photographer to capture whatever it was you saw. You just looked at a thing and went "oooh! pertty! [snap!]"
Also, there's no point in these being in B&W. You've got to have stronger composition and shapes and light to use B&W well. These are just insta-art bullshit shots.

Don't do that.

>the car is fucking black
Yes anon-kun, the car was indeed painted black :^)
>composition is dildos
Okay, sure. I really would've appreciated it if you actually gave me some advice on how I could've avoided making it look "like the car is there by accident."
>there's no point in these being in B&W
other than lacking the means of processing C-41 at home and not feeling like sending my film off to a lab.
In all seriousness though, thanks for the criticism. I agree that the exposure is pretty fucked on most of these, but I expected to hear a few complaints about that when I posted them.

For fuck's sake, look at it:
1. You've got a centered horizon. That typically, (though not 100% of the time) leads to a very weak composition. It throws the balance of the shot off.
2. The car is all the way on the edge of the frame. It doesn't have any prominent place in the frame at all. It's just barely hanging on by a thread.
3. You've shot the car from standing height, against the backdrop of a building and a bunch of trees and shit. You've got the sky with nothing, and you've got a wide open road, but you shot the car against the most distracting background possible.
4. Speaking of the road, it's a giant fucking blob of absolutely jack shit. It takes up almost 50% of the frame with no purpose whatsoever.
If you're subject is the car, which it presumably is, then not a single decision you made led to the car being featured as the subject. Other than just being in the middle quadrant of the frame, nothing about this scene or your composition leads the eyes to the car.
