Your country has some amazing sights! Great pics :)

Very nice :) Specifically like #1 and 5-9 :P

Your country has some amazing sights! Great pics :)

I don't actually live in the country where these photos were taken (China & Hong Kong), but yeah! It has nice sights.. sometimes. Thanks. :)

 

And thanks Y_Guy :P

They're interesting shots, but.. Too. Much. Vintage. D:

Too. Much. Vintage. D:

I agree, I'll lay off it in the future. TOO LATE TO GO BACK NOW.

If it aint film, don't do it vintage!

Yes ma'am. :'(

Nice photos! My favorites probably the restaurant along the water. The third from the bottom, old man holding the child looking out the window, would have been a nice B&W shot.

I've got a secret

 

 

Are you sure?

All right then

I like vintage c:

 

 

 

I like vintage too. It doesn't work on every picture but I think it works for a lot of them.

 

 

Kidding :P.

 

I really like the first shot (vintage works well for it) and the shot at the cafe.

I think the fact that it's a whole bunch of photos that are vintage that it looks like it's a OHMAHGODVINTAGE OVERLOAD. I'll just tone it down in the future because lots of people hate it.

 

?

 

Oh yeah,

[hide]I also have a secret.

[hide]Are you ready?

[hide]You sure?

[hide]Alright then..

I think this one would look fantastic converted to black & white.

LIKE

I actually prefer the colour in that shot, gives it more character...

Yeah, I think it's a lot better in color.

I love B&Ws and the old man and child one looks a lot better in it! :thumbup:

 

the vintage stuff doesn't look bad either, it just adds character to the photos. The only picture I don't like is probably the second one just because I don't get it, it's just kind of boring.

My god, these are hipsterrific. :roll:

 

First image: I'm not sure I like your post-processing on this one. You've managed to blend the centered person in with the trees. The only other thing I have to say is that it's not a particularly interesting photo.

 

Second image: Again, not a fan of your post-processing. Your unnatural vignetting makes this look like a photo of a photo. I also dislike the shadow on the house, and the whole composition of the photo. A more interesting shot would probably have been a dead-on photo of the front of the house(side with the window).

 

Third image: What, no fancy post-processing? This photo isn't anything special. Shadows are too sharp, not to mention there are shadows at all in the first place. It's just an average touristy photo.

 

Fourth image: This one's not bad. Could have had the angle slightly lower, but it does well without it. Another thing you could have done is an even longer shutter speed. But, I still kinda like it.

 

Fifth image: Missy, you keep bringing up the blacks. Why? Crushed black are often good; they make colours more vibrant. It's blown highlights that are bad. Other than my dislike for your post-processing(which I've already said a number of times) this is also an okay photo. I'm not too fussed with the "tent" cover at the top of the photo, but I probably would have tried to do something about it.

 

Sixth image: *another rant about your post-processing* Boats are a little too dark, basically.

 

Seventh image: More boats would be nice. No, really, shifting the angle of view a bit to the left probably would have been good. Also, remember that it's okay to crop. There's a little too much sky and you could even get away with chopping a bit off the bottom of the image too, and some of the right side.

 

Eight image: Good use of a silhouette. I'm not too fussed with the colours here. Couldn't hurt to straighten the horizon a bit, but that's easily fixed in Photoshop.

 

Ninth image: Probably my favourite. Again, you've creamed the highlights and brought up the blacks, and you've probably de-saturated it too(unless China or wherever the hell this is, is really that dull).

Try something along the lines of:

or

The horizon might also need a little fixing.

So apart from the supermassive yellow "Nippon Centre Superstore" sign and your hipsterrific editing, it's not a bad photo.

 

Tenth image: Tourist photo, nothing special. BUT AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T HIPSTERFY IT.

 

I'm not a fan of black & white. You can take any photo and desaturate it and it becomes "art".

(photos often turn out better when you don't need to worry about the colour)

Oh! Didn't notice your reply to this thread.

 

Thanks Da_Latios, I figured earlier in the thread that I need to tone down the post-processing, but thanks for the 'extended' criticism.
