Title: Some of my photos
Post by: GeorgePoulos on June 14, 2010, 03:57:49 pm
Im just a hobbyist and just enjoy taking photos of anything I can. Any tips are welcome but its all just for fun.  Any technical or detailed analysis may be lost on me but i am trying to learn, so that my photos can be fun for others and not just me.

One of my favorite photos. It shows a little boy running, girls sunning, balloons, the beach and planes in the sky. Just a great example of beach life.

This is great because the lady in the photo kept pointing in the wrong direction when the planes would fly over!! I finally got a pic of it.

Welcome to this forum.

One general point is that if you want critique or advice it is advisable to post only one image at a time, unless the images are part of a coherent series.

Anyway, I'll pick out this one.  The beach, sky and those kite things make a great background, full of visual interest.  Problem is, they are a great background for something, and that something isn't there in the photo; it needs a foreground subject.

Hi. And yeah I agree that the photo doesnt have a foreground subject but it was intended to show a typical day at the beach. Not one specific thing but i was trying to capture an overall feeling of beach life, showing little bits of everything. And ill limit my future posts to just one photo or a series. Thanks.
