I delete lots of photos too..I only keep the best ones. Well what I think are the best ones. This week the Sunday Stills Challenge was to critique your own photo.
A big problem I have is the horizon line..in landscape photos. Especially if I just grab my camera for one quick photo.
I took this photo this week.
As you can see my horizon line is off. In order to save this photo I have to take it into my photo program and straighten it up.
Like this…same photo
Gotta love technology! However it wastes valuable time..and unless it is a photo I am smitten with..I will delete it instead of fix it.
Another problem I have is patience. On Wednesday we were out and about. The moon was up and almost full.
Yes the moon is there..but you have to search for it.
This photo taken 20 minutes later was much better.
Horizons and patience both things I could improve on. Have a good week everyone:)
I find photographing things straight ahead difficult. I don't know why because I can get exactly the angle I want when I take pictures from sideways on.

Very nice photos. I tend to have the same problem with horizons. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I have to admit I am having a hard time seeing the difference in the horizon shots. Both cool photos! The last moon one grabs me though. : )
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S what I'm talking about. I spelled critique wrong in the S.S. post......I knew it didn't look right;))))))
ReplyDeleteGood ones. It took me a sec to see the difference in the first set...but I got it...it really does make a difference. Oh and I love your Header pic.
ReplyDeleteNice! You nailed it :-). I've never thought about the time wasted straightening up shots, but you are right!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the moon shows up when you changed the view point in the second set of pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have a quick check list before I click the shutter. Is the horizon straight and is anything in the frame that I don't want.
ReplyDeleteHorizons are difficult to straighten after the fact, depending on the software you have. Great job using the rule of thirds, too.
ReplyDeleteI had to really squint and search for the moon - the second one is great.
thank god we live now where we can take 100 photos without cost. Remember the time when it is on 24 or 36 prints on film? That time, you really need to be careful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteI have a shot of the moon and a pine tree that is so much like yours I cannot believe it!
