It’s been several decades since I’ve opened my photography up for critique. I was a photography major back in the day and gave it up as a professional track so i could feed and house myself. I now really only share my photos with three friends. But there isn’t much in the way of actionable feedback - I’d love to hear your thoughts.
This photo was taken on a piece of white paper under a skylight on a cloudy day with my iPhone. I made a few small edits to bring the reds out (such a hard color to get right in digital photography).
A very instructive set of contents - I never realised that red caused any particular problem. Many thanks for the info and the tips on your workflow - they’ll come in useful when I’m out and about spotting red poppies (ie today).
So you took two sets of shots then (… a few days later you said) - no merging or photoshopping of them?
Good to chat, thanks again for the help.
Can’t wait to see your red poppies! I’ve never managed to get a good photo of them. It’ll be great to have some inspiration.
No - I guess I didn’t think about merging them or doing any photoshop. I’m a pretty lazy photographer. I’m intrigued though. What would you do? I’d love some inspiration.
What exactly do you mean by lazy - hard to get up at 4am for that sunrise shot? Personally, it’s hard too. Not sure what I’d do differently as its difficult to comment on an approach that someone has already done. I’ll post a poppy shot when I get round to processing them. Yes, I’m good at taking shots, but they languish on my hard drive for weeks!
