[Skrim17]

I like the photo, wouldn't mind seeing the color from the can on the graffitti as well but leave the rest desaturated as you have done.

[Anke]

Shows a good eye. I'm not so keen on the overexposure in the top right, I would like to have seen the image more dark and moody maybe. Hope this helps.

[Eoseni]

You've got a good eye and maybe a style, if you keep repeating it!I like the high contrast, the harshness and variety of the textures, the shapes and lines, and the composition. I really have no criticism!

Just a good example of the photographer being the one to produce good photos, not the camera..or lack of a real one. Good for you... congratulations.

[jjackflash]

YOU'VE A GOOD EYE AND A GOOD IMAGINATION>>>>>KEEP IT UP!!!!

[varuj]

[Eoseni]

I prefer your first photo, Varuj. Second one is too natural looking for me, and therefore, too grungy...dirty looking. Almost smelly!

[varuj]

ya thats true

[varuj]

heres another angle,here you can see my shadow lol.it was so hard taken the first to pix,the sun was in the way.ya i guess this one also looks clouded and dirty,so which one would you pick out of these tim,i think i already know the answer

[varuj]

the last one sucks i dont even know y i posted it lmao

[Eoseni]

Not really. I see 3 spaces of different materials and shapes...air, wall and ground...almost equal space, competing with each other, fighting. It's abstract. This kind of photo has it's place and sometimes, a mission to convey a message.

[varuj]

thanks bro,so what kind of dslr would you recomend for my first dslr

[Eoseni]

I have a 20D. Can't go wrong. It's excellent. Depends on your budget and needs etc.

[varuj]

i dont have a good budget,only like $800,my eye is on the canon xti,but the nikkon d80 looks good to which ould you pick,or any other camera that you would recomend in $800 price limit,i would be very thankfull

[Eoseni]

I'm not an expert, sorry, especially on NIKONS!?! Are you kidding? LOL. This is a Canon forum, buddy!

You may get a 20D for close to that price second hand maybe. Did you look on Ebay yet?

[Eoseni]

Look at this...http://cgi.ebay.com/CANON-EOS-20D-DIGITAL-SLR-CAMERA-BODY_W0QQitemZ230131334307QQihZ013QQcategoryZ10790 7QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Refurbished, with 90 day warranty. 20D body

[varuj]

thanks,i should collect my money a little more and just get a new one,cuz i dont like used items,its my mentality and im not proud of it.thanks a lot for everything bro,where can i see your work?

[misshi99]

Damn nice work, I can't believe that you caught that on you video cam...maybe you don't need a DSLR, maybe we need video cameras ;)

[varuj]

hahaha,thanks.its mostly the color correction that makes it pop out.as long as you get a descent image the rest you could play on your comp.at least thats how i see it

[Eoseni]

thanks,i should collect my money a little more and just get a new one,cuz i dont like used items,its my mentality and im not proud of it.thanks a lot for everything bro,where can i see your work?

No website yet sorry...here's one I posted today...

By the way, the Canon Xti or Rebel Xt are also very capable cameras, just not so strongly built. If you can, go and feel them out at a camera store. Then you may be able to decide better.

[varuj]

wow that really nice,i love the reflection,did you shoot that with the 20d

[Eoseni]

What reflection, Varuj? Yes 20D. You mean shadow?

[varuj]

ya i ment shadow,lmao.its nice i love it

[Eoseni]

hey thanks.

[varuj]

np.how can i get my name out once i get better at photography

[Eoseni]

There are many ways discussed in these forums. Just do a search for it, you'll have lots to read!! But for me, word of mouth is the best...people recommend you because they like you and know your good work. All photographers love that. I don't do marketing yet... except for talking about what I do with people I meet.

[varuj]

ya its true its all about the quility of the work,thanks a lot for helpen me out tim,ill go search for that know

[Eoseni]

You are welcome. Good luck.

[varuj]

thanks:)

[BLS]

IMHO, the second image (with the cans looming large in the foreground) is the strongest of the three compositions because it has the most "immediacy" for the viewer. The last one doesn't hold my attention because it lets me be so detached from the scene.

[Master-9]

You would do a Dslr justice

[Yiskah]

Cool!

[varuj]

im glad you guys like them ;)

[4g63photo]

I really like the color second one. Good perspective.
