Fall Photo – Liked it when I took itFound this great fall stream running under a covered bridge. I loved the scene while I was there and liked this picture when I took it. Upon reviewing it and post processing, I like the intent, but not sure it is as interesting as I hoped. Looking for feedback on how this could have been better.

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Spider in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
I think the crop is good, focus is on the spider.
The background is very busy and distracting, you might want to try a wider aperture (lower f stop number) to achieve a better DOF and more bokeh behind the spider giving it better separation from the background.
If you shot wide open and your minimum focal distance, I am not sure there is…[Read more]

Depth of field is great, I like the creative look on focus on the red flower. A little difficult to see the flower, a little more exposure I think would help the image overall.
I love the deep black background – how do you achieve that effect when shooting in a public market?Check It Out

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic ive lost my dog in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
Good composition, and very dramatic, achieved silhouette effect. The bright sun in the right hand corner immediately draws the eye away from the focus of the people walking. Maybe a graduated filter or a slight reduction of exposure in that area would help.
Like the panoramic feel to the image but experiment with some different crops to help…[Read more]

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Critic needed, badly! in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
I agree with @nikon-nut on the second one could use some leveling, removal of the tower.
With the third one, excellent composition, definitely experiment with the depth of field. If intent was a sharp image throughout you need a higher f stop. The dreamy out of focus look adds a creative element. Overall the image seems a little under…[Read more]

WOW!!! Those are some very attractive mannequin butts! I like the colors and the depth of field… some how you found leading lines with very “rounded” objects. Only comment maybe a little more post crop vignetting on the store floor and other display. Maybe crop down to the top of the belt on the first mannequin.Check It Out

I agree with the above sentiments, on the creepy factor. As far as the actual image maybe a little more light on the doll’s face maybe a small reflector to help bring out the shadows. The sticks and underbrush add to the overall composition.Check It Out

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Photos in a cloudy and foggy day…. in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
In camera I would under expose by half a stop and then bring up the highlights in photoshop/lightroom. Or you could use a graduated ND filter to do in camera.
However with cloudy skies, I just try and find interesting composition that generally doesn’t include the sky.Check It Out

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Fall – short exposure in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
I love fall, and fall photos!
Silky water looks good, however the white water appears over exposed. (Maybe recover the highlights a little) The tree in the upper right with the leaves in the frames, distract from the main focus which is the river. Not sure if the image is straight in the small size.
What really transformed my pictures…[Read more]

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Moat by Angkor Wat, afternoon in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
The small size, makes it hard to see as a panorama, would be helpful to see a larger version of the image.
There seems to be a slight moving down to the right. The rope fence distracts from the more interesting middle and background, I think the grass alone would be a better foreground. Difficult to tell in the small size if the colors are…[Read more]

First Post – Cityscape Long ExposureThis is my first post for feedback in the Shark Tank. In the last six months I have gotten serious about photography, moving from a snapshot taker to really wanting to better understand the craft.
This is my first attempt at a long exposure in a cityscape. My goal was to create a sense of motion from the…[Read more]

Post Processing
The second is a significant great improvement without adding any noise.However I think the background is still to bright and distracting. I might lower the highlights so you get more blue in the sky and more definition in the clouds.
Composition
Try a little more depth of field, lower the f stop increase the zoom. I…[Read more] -
Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Urban decay too in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
Great image. I do not think the colors are over saturated at all, and are still in the natural range. I personally would clone out the electrical box, it distracts from the old world feel. Maybe a slight straighten (<-2), hard to tell since their are fee straight lines.Check It Out

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic Light Painting First Attempt in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
Great first attempt. This is definitely on my list of things to try, so I don’t claim any current expertise. Love the black background, if you attempt was abstract, I think you achieved it very well.
I think having another color in your other hand at a lower intensity might have added an additional splash of color. Yielding more…[Read more]

Paul Shenenberger replied to the topic New Body, New Lens in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 6mo ago
New Rule of thirds crop is much better and more interesting. I might drag a graduated filter down from the top to the horizon line and reduce the exposure and highlights, and maybe a slight adjustment to the white balance a little more shifted to blue in the graduated filter to give more contrast and pop to the sky.Check It Out
