thanks

I like the first shot a lot. With that great dof so the old cop car is sharp but the marquees sign is still very readable. Good shot.
I like the lines and shadows in the second but the light seems harsh.
I think the third would work if the meter or whatever in foreground was in focus and the boats not.
How do you like them?

bugger and i thought the reverse about 3.

but now i see that you are correct

the focus on the electric meter would have been better..

i really thought that # 1 came out well....

# 2 was me trying to be..er, never mind...



i am learning and all thanks to here.

as i have said previously i have read some books (thanks to barnes and noble and starbucks ) but when a thought strikes you about something written, you can't ask "well what if ?" but the luxury of forums such as these is that you can post and actually ask "what if?"

however the response is usually the same .....

Threelions,

Gotta agree, the first is just gorgeous....

the second... although the light is a bit harsh, i personally like it, since it actually did make me squint my eyes, as though i was there!

For the third....well... here's the thing... first... you could have moved to the left, and panned a bit more right...not much repositioning just a bit! and then give both a shot... with this type of shot, i find it important to try both ways.... first as you did... then focus on the meter... and this way give yourself the option of deciding which is the better of the two...

i had a similar shot and took both you can find them here
DoF Foreground then Background

But the 3rd has beautiful color... so good work!

Looking forward to some more
