Heya folks. There's this really cool mall I like to go to sometimes at night. It has a *load* of great scenery everywhere. It's like pop art heaven. Here are some shots I took:

Anyone else have some interesting mall shots of various statues and objects?

hey

would be better if you put the images in the actual post rather than making people click to see them use the ... tags

with images that have water movement, longer shutter speeds will smooth the water out and tend to looks nicer, may need a tripod though

also think you are too close to the fountain in the first picture, there is too much cut off at the sides for my liking

Alright, I was just concerned the images would be too large. I'll resize them later if people they're a bit too large.

And this was moves to landscapes I guess? I wasn't sure what category it would be in since the fountain picture with the girl seemed like a still life. I guess the movie theater doesn't count as architecture either since it's more of a whole collection of things going on.

That's a good point. I didn't want most of the side buildings in the picture with it when I was trying to focus on the water gush. Maybe a slight zoom out would have made it more interesting. I'll keep in mind to take a variety of zooms next time once I find the scene I want to capture.

More? Your just barely getting started! I like the statue with the umbrella! cool. I agree about the tripod. Your ISO is giving some distinctive grain that you may not like.
