(Haven't posted here in a while)
I went out yesterday and tried out some new things, among which some different pp
It's nothing amazing but I hope the feel I was going for becomes a least a bit noticeable
Also the first time I went out around sundown and that made it quite a bit more fun, the light's very different than what I was used to
Tried to copy that one anon that gets these really nice industrial pics but I still haven't found the appropriate location for that
>please give your opinions
I know at least half of you will think they're boring but please say something constructive as well desu

One example where I had something in my head, but the execution is lacking and I don't even know what it is
Probably the light or the color of it in that upper left corner of the building

This picture doesn't have a lot going on. It wants to be boring or methodical. But that cloud in the sky ruins it a little.
>>3093112
yea pretty much
I guess more uniform light on the surface would make it a bit better
probably a bad subject anyway because of the pattern that the bricks make...
might as well post the instagram-tier one

upon closer inspection the rest aren't even worth posting so I guess that was that

You're recognizing symmetry in scenes, which is good. The scenes aren't particularly compelling though. I also find the grass/weeds in the first two above really distracting, which is nitpicky, but maybe try either lowering the green saturation or seeing how it looks in black and white.
>>3093099
The composition is nice in this, but otherwise, same comments as above. When I look at this scene, my eye WANTS it to look cold. Not necessarily in WB temp, but in mood. The sunlight and the greens of grass give it a life that is otherwise at odds with the potential mood of the photograph.
>>3093108
Your composition is decent on a lot of these. It's more the subject matter that's lacking.
>>3093109
Looks soft. Boring scene. Try asking yourself what specifically piqued your interest with this scene, then work the angles until you find a compelling view (or end up not finding one).
>>3093111
Zzz. Sorry. There's nothing here. No emotion or mood or anything. It's a low sun on a building, and it looks like a random phone snapshot.
>>3093114
Think I would've focused on the buildings, and not the net. At the end of the day, the net is a frame, but as its shot, its also the focus of the photo. It's a nice frame though.
Good work, anon. Keep shooting. Try to find the mood you want to show with these industrial shots. Is it a cold, empty feeling? Is it that buildings and machines can have a warm side? Think about those moods, and then think about how the lighting will effect them. Golden hour tends to warm things up.

thanks a ton for taking the time to write all that
yea, you pretty much confirmed a thought that I wasn't aware of, I kept trying to somehow make the grass less noticeable
I guess the timing of the day and the weather were almost the exact opposite of what I needed; maybe I'll go back on a more overcast day
black and white didn't work very well, or at least I like the bit of blue tint in the first few
on most of the others if I mess with the saturation they start looking way too artificial, but on this one it almost works
(I rarely mess with individual colors)
on an overcast day I prolly won't have the cloud problem either

Not OP, but as someone who's learning, thank you for posting all that.

OP here
I had a beginner thread going for like a month or so, must've posted at least 30 pics in that one, and barely got one reply with feedback half as useful as that from anon
but it's a fairly slow board and it's more a matter of luck I guess
>I'll just leave a cat pic as a token of my appreciation
