[TheDirtSyndicate]

i have a shot at getting some of my work into a gallery...
i was thinking of having my best 20 photos printed on canvas and framed... thoughts?
also, i'd like to know what you guys think are my best, that would help me decide which ones to print.

i dont have the time to sit here and [img ][ /img] 200 photos since im at work, so for now i'll just post a link:

Hey, man!

I checked the site and the galeries. My favorites have to be:

If i were to come forth with a honest opinion: These are not the best, these are my favorites.

Also, it may sound harsh, but i really couldn't find 20 brilliant pieces worth going to an expo there. Some of them are really begginerish. I'm really sorry to say this, i absolutelly love your SB, and your style, but when it comes to photography, you need to practice more.

The first thing you really need to lear is aproach to composition. Most of the photos i've seen on the site had a very good ideea but were somehow killed by the stuff happening arroud them. Use focus, negative space and light to isolate the point of interest in your photo.

Try to shoot lower iso. Use a tripod if necesary to compensate for the low high shutter values. I'm sayin this because a lot of your photos are very grainy. Grain is sometimes good and sometimes not that good.

Another thing that really bugs me is the yellow hue of your photos. Try some other white balances, enjoy RAW shooting mode. But then agaim yellow hue migh be a matter of taste.

Kudos, dude! :)

thanks for the input man
i appreciate it, the yellow tinted ones were actually a filter on the lens.
maybe i can work a few shots into a show with a few other people...

My bad on the yellow! :)

Just curios, what camera are you using?
