Sunset from my backyard

[Da_Latios]

There are two photos here, the first is wallpaper sized, 1920x1200 cropped and sized down from 4000x3000px. The second is a screenshot from a video I recorded with my video camera. It is lesser quality, but I think the overall photo looks better.

Both were taken with a Sony HDR-CX520.

Later this afternoon I will try to record a time-lapse of the sunset.

The wall on the right side is really distracting.

It's kinda meant to be. Besides, this was more of a spur-of-the-moment "Oh hey that looks pretty, I'ma take a pic" handheld picture anyway.

I liked it a lot, and it works well as a wallpaper.

 

Until Jaerkdood pointed out the right wall <_<

[Da_Latios]

Tell you what, I'll take another picture this afternoon without the right wall.

I like the wall. I think it frames the shot nicely. Bit noisy though.

Well it was taken with a video camera. The day I can afford a good Digital SLR though, you'll see pictures from me.

Quit making excuses and take some crit.

 

You post a picture that you think is aesthetically pleasing, we comment to help you get better. The right wall is actually very distracting, as people previously have commented. Also, the fence on the bottom should be in focus.

Yes, I realise that, and if you'd bother to have read any more than just my first post, I said I'd try taking more pictures without the wall, etc.

 

And as for what you are calling an "excuse", my response that the image was taken with a video camera was directed at the graininess of the image. I cannot change that without blurring the photo.
