8.) like this one a lot as well. could have been framed a little better but the idea is there
Awesome shot, but unpublished ski photos just as in from Hood shots? I feel like Hood jump shoots are a dime a dozen. If not, I want to see some other ski shots!

The other non-windells unpublished shots have to remain unpublished for now, online at least... :)
I just bought my friends 7D from him as he just got a 5d mkiii. I'm pretty new to this whole photography thing though I do have a basic understanding of exposure, etc. Lay it on me, folks!

welp, fuck me angus! don't know how to post photos from flickr since we can't embed anymore...
TijmenDalWow! Where is that? That's an amazing spot to photograph. Pretty cool shoot as well, but I don't like that the man is cut off.
Hong Kong. I know, I'm pissed I cut my dad off haha! I wasn't really willing to sit down and get the greatest composition because we were on the move, late for a dinner >.
DIPED_IN_SAUCEThis has awesome Photoshop potential, any ideas what I should do to i? I'm thinking some cool shit with the sky falling down or aliens.
but this is "your best photography" thread not lets throw a semi cool photoshop onto a mediocre photo thread...
and we should really keep the limit of photos you can post to two or three or less. your best doesnt necessarily imply 6-7 of your latest photos. it really does help if you take a critical look at your photos before posting. i havent really been happy with a photo iv taken in months.
once again I am really new to photography but i am having a great time with it and am open to and encouraging any tips or ways to make my photos better. Thanks a ton!

Agreed!!
I'm sorry but anything over 4 photos is going to make me not want to give a critique or even a comment. Remember it's the age of the internet attention span.

1: maybe its just me, but the climber looks slightly out of focus. not a bad idea and framing, just less than great execution (it looks like it may be slightly underexposed too)
2: the sky shouldnt be white. not any real subject, but kinda a cool perspective.
3: very boring and no real subject. its just looking up with a fisheye, nothing special at all, and really wierd (unpleasing) different lines
here is my take, 1 is definitely your best, but the execution could have been better (get in focus and get the exposure right. if it were in focus, it can easily be fixed in lightroom, but the out of focus is hard to fix). two is somewhat boring in daylight, but if you want to get into star photography (really fun and a great way to help learn about how to use a camera, i recommend), this would be a cool shot with the night sky in the back. 3 is just plain bad, no real way to salvage it and the lack of a subject is really bad. as a rule, avoid shooting straight up (once you are better, rules are meant to be broken, but not now)
im not trying to be harsh, but one thing i really wish is that people were brutally honest with me when i started. more blunt critiques will definitely help you take better pictures, because you will know exactly what not to do
straighten this and it would be awesome. the corner wall in the back with the vertical lines and the table make it obvious the camera was slanted (unless thats what you were going for then ignore me)
all the other ones look awesome, where were they taken? i really like the third one

I understand man! I'm glad you critiqued them. i didn't take it as harsh i get where you're coming from. thanks!
uni-cornGot ice cream with the GF's nephews tonight and took out the 50. Feedback?
Both capture his mischievous side - I like that about them; I think it's that grin. I really like the moment you captured in the second one. Pure joy and indulgence, and nice framing using the rule of thirds. The first one could use some sort of oomph in the colour palette - just play around with it a bit and really make it pop (it might be this monitor, I haven't calibrated it recently). I'd be interested to see the second one in colour?
YoungDaph (I think) posted some pics earlier of her pets - just wanted to say I really liked both the close-up of the dog and the one with the cat. The focus on the eyes was just right, and they were framed in a way that draws you in.
Wow I messed that one up, holy n00bage. Obviously, I meant to quote and THEN write this...

Thanks! Both these kids are a handful, don't let them deceive you!
As far as the second one- reason I chose B&W is that there were so many different color temps in original that it was hard to get it right in post. I didn't have my flash and I had natural light, fluorescents, and incandescent to worry about. I just went with the cop out of B&W.
I'll play with the colors on the first one too! I was going for a soft image since it was alread that way but I'll revisit it with the colors.

Thanks man! I'm still working on it appreciate the comments
I did feel those 3 in a row were kind of dead pics. The first was crooked because the aspect was fixed from being at the top of a tower. Anyways appreciate the honesty
NotoriousLIPPlayed around with some different perspectives of the same jump the other day. Let me know what you think.
Both are over saturated, you can kinda get away with it on the second one, but frankly, it makes the first one look like shit. You can hardly even see the rider against the background, the whole frame just looks like some pure black and pure white camo IMO.
here is one that i took last night during the sunset. very little post processing was done on the first one (yes, it was pretty much only oranges on the original). i just added a little bit of blue to the shadows and tweaked lights/darks/etc a little.
thoughts? also do you prefer the black and white or color version?
