The first one is really interesting, especially the composition. The second one is good too, I just wish the car wasn't there. The third one seems extremely pointless to me. What exactly were you taking a picture of?

The other ones are decent but there still isn't a clear subject, except the train.

Try taking pictures from different angles and heights. Like in the parking lot you could have shot from the ground.

You're shooting on full manual right?

I shot them at AV, only aperture manual.
I'm not yet experienced enough to make good pics with manual.

here's a gallery with motorcycles, for the ones who are interested:

Nice pictures and all, but the only problem is your pictures mean nothing. Most of them are these intricate, perspective shots to make things looks cool, but there is no focal point or... well, a point in general.

Or maybe I'm just looking too far into the pictures and I don't see how obvious your genius really is, in which case lol.

But it seems like you just got a new camera and you took pictures of things from an irregular angle to try and make them look cool.



edit: just some info, I take all of my pictures in full manual, I've gotten pretty good at it too, but I rarely use my camera though; shame though, I've got a canon Rebel XTi...

that last one is excellent. I don't see why people say there's no point to them, there's no point to many photos

Most good photos convey some sort of emotion, or atleast have a clear subject.


You need to start shooting on full manual.

The one looking between the stairs could have been better if you had stopped down all the way, which gives you infinite focus. All off the detail to the bottom would have been crisp and in focus.

Light photography is always fun. If you throw everything out of focus you get really big balls of light. The star effect on the street lights can be done by closing the aperture as much as possible.

The one looking up at the building is pretty cool in composition because pretty much everything is on a thirds line.

The one with the broken doorframe in the middle is, in my opinion, your best one. It provides a concept, whether you intended to have one or not, and the composition is nice.
The only problem I have with it is the powerline in the upper right corner.
