    Exclamation Inspiration

    Took this one night along a river. I see some problems with it that i know of, I wanted to see how much i notice things about my photos compared to others. I did learn that Walgreens can go to ...... well you know where with developing 35mm prints. This is the scanned negative though, i edited the colors some what. Well the colors are really in the photo i just brought them out, nothing somebody in a dark room would not.

    I think it's like those posters you see in business to keep the employees happy when making minimum wage doing data entry. I could of taken out some of the grass blocking the dog and put in a trunk of a tree but i did not want to do much photoshop on it as i just got this camera while back and wanted to just let the camera do the work and my camera skill. There is alot of space in the middle and sky i know that, more of like looking to the stars for an answer or seeing how big the world is and just how great being a part of it is was the idea when i took it. If anybody is interested here is a comparison i did about walgreens http://imaphotoguy.deviantart.com/ar...-Away-89589133

    50mm - Pentax Sears 35mm SLR - cost me $5
    200 ISO Fuji Film

    Thanks for looking and comment however you like i am trying to become pro.

    It's a small image to analyze for any technical details, but from what i can see here the composition looks great as well as the color and exposure. A very nice looking image
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Looks good from here! As far as having prints made - I did my own little test sending 5 different photos - color, lighting, etc to all the labs in town, plus all the mail order places i knew about and made my own comparisons. the one I found I liked the best (clarity, real color, cropping etc) was one of the deep discount places! Walgreens is my best in town if I want to print something real fast. there are two "pro" shops here and their quality was the worst in the whole bunch. This was all changed from when i had film and now use digital.

    I have a canon 20d i shoot with but the film wow its amazing the colors are great right the first time i don't have to do much in post to fix them the way i like them. It does cost more but about the same as if you get every shot you take of digital. I will have to do more tests i found a pro place that does pretty good job on the prints, i have a scanner to scan negatives but it is nice to have a good clean print without doing any editing. Thanks for comments everybody.

    From what I can tell, this looks really, really good, and I'd like to see a larger version.
    Walgreen's, eh? I might start taking my stuff up there. I'm really starting to become unhappy with the place I'm getting prints now.

    The large black frame is a bit distracting for me, though it is a beautiful shot. I love the colors and the composition is great and simple =)

    Very small preview but I love the colours and composition. The silhouette adds another dimension to the image. Great shot (although I'd like to see a larger version).
