a few new pictures!
LOLz.. so heres the story to this batch of pictures..
my friend and i were just driving on wilshire passing by miracle mile and ran into this place next to some museum. i really wanted to take shots there and it got boring because i didnt have a car or a model to shoot. so my friend volunteered to be the model.... seems like he was a little too... enthusiastic? passionate? anyways... here you go.

#4 for you naruto fans... honestly i didnt know what the hell he was doing.

WOW Great pics! They turned out perfect

 

thank you. deffinitely not "perfect" lol. there are many photographers on this forum that can teach me a lot. btw, all shots were taken with a D40 with kit lens.

 

very nice! Good use of lines and angles

 

12 and 15 = WALLPAPER. Very nice. Vehicle shots feel meh.
Feels like the focal point (car) does not pop. I am no pro,
but I think lack of lighting hurt there. The scenery demonstrates
some maturity imo.

 

maturity? what do u mean by that? im no pro either which is why im asking for criticisms that can help me take better shots.

 

great pics!

 

next time, take pics of the z . great shots btw

 

my z is stock.. i took too many shots of my z. its boring.

 

for 10 and 11, did you stand in the middle of the street for those shots?

 

Yeah, that's some crazy stuff. I love the last pic. HUGE improvement my friend. Love the architecture/sculpture/skyscraper shots. Lets see more!

 

Enjoying this! Wow. Crazy shot.

BTW, YOU NEED AN ULTRA WIDE ANGLE! Have you tried one? If not, wait till you see what you're missing at 10mm/11mm/12mm...

The ultra wide would give those skyscraper shots more dramatic as it allows you to get closer to the buildings.... and get more of them in there.... you would have gotten the third building (barely showing on the left) in from this shot:


Great composition in the following due to the diagonal lines!

 

I love your pictures! It makes me feel good too since I just bought a D40!

 

17 is an amazing shot. they all look really good too

 

yes sir i did it was at 3-4AM so it wasnt very scary.

hehe thank you so much.

i want a sigma 10-20mm. i currently have other bills to pay off until i can pick that one up. lol

 

lol. D40 is a really easy to use camera!

thank you thank you.

anything i need to improve on guys?

 

Lookin good Eric!!!

 

What city is that? thats where I need to live!!

 

survey says.....LA

 

Good shots Eric. Are you still using the dslr I sold you?
