First two are a bit flat, and slightly overexposed (see hotspot on shirt). Try bumping the contrast and color up a bit in PP. Also, I wouldn't have the log ride/rider centered in the frame, stick it over to one side (i'd pick right side due to the curve of the log ride). Good shots nonetheless.
The landscape is about 1/2 stop overexposed as well, sky is a bit too blown out, but color is better. Could still use some PP work to bump up the colors of the foreground. Not much you can do about the blown out sky now, just something to remember for the future
Very nicely composed though.
Last shot, of the bike, is great. Colors are far far better than all the others, you have good blacks and its very sharp. Did you bump the colors at all in PP? There are some signs of compression as well, what do you use to compress for the internet?
This is what I mean for the first shot:
Ze, the pics were taking with a POS P&S, haha, no critique please, some day Ill take my big Canon up there, but glad I have not yet, as I tend to crash.
I just wanted to show off our fun! The P&S cam fired off the flash alot, which didnt help either, plus my buddy isnt a photographer, and his first time running that camera as well. So it all added up to what you see.. Either way, I still have our fun on cam!
Yes, that last shot was at home with my 30D, you can clearly see the difference, I resize them down a ton, and reduce the qualitly for the internet on these types of pics, the ones of mine that go into magazines and websites for ads and what not, stay full rez and HUGE.
Cant wait to go again!
Thanks
