Feeback - My Turn

Dustin's feedback thread has inspired me to come out of my own shell a bit. Here's a few 'walkaround' shots from a few nights ago when the wife and I were out. I still don't feel like I've shot anything great with the new D90. I've been bored and uninspired, but doing this might get me going in the right direction.

1: BOOOOring. what is the point? What about the picture is supposed to move me?
2: I like the Bokeh
3: Tree in the way and the power line.
4: It's a light...nothing more.

1. "checks cashed" sign?
2. bokeh's good but the subject looks soft and is cut off
3. tree and power line
4. it's a light!

1. Didn't like it either. Someone else did for the reflections.
2. yeah
3. Stupid cable. Part of shooting with the 50 is learning to move around. I guess this is how you learn.
4. They all are.

Thanks. I've been buried in manuals trying to learn the camera and my SB600 and a few other things. Technical stuff on the brain. I decided to bump all the gear and go with the 50mm and no flash to think about what I see instead of gear to fiddle with. I guess the lights stood out to me.

1) next time get the whole sign with a bum standing under it looking forlorn.

2) see # 1 - substitute hooker next to it looking happy.

3) The 3rd one would kind of work if you photoshopped the power line out of the shot.

4) Find a light with some character

Nate,

I can't add much to the crits but props for putting your balls on the block. I know it's like getting kicked in the teeth but in the long run it will make you a better photog.

I'm looking forward to more of your shots !
