Bueller, bueller... anyone??? bueller.

Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.

They all look slightly out of focus, or blurry, or something wrong.

What were you looking for? C&C?

Is this straight out of the camera? I was thinking about getting a 10-20 lens before I go back east in October for some of these wide-angle shots.

They do look a bit distorted but I can't tell if that's because of the lens or any processing you've done to them.

Hey I like them. I think some (additional?) PP could help some, but I like the framing. That's my favorite lens. I use it as my walk-around lens.

They are all straight out of the camera with a little contrast/ saturation added. I was just looking for feedback, good or bad, to learn from. Guess i should have said so at the start of the post. I'm just trying to make a career change to photography so i was just wondering what people thought of some of my pics.

Looks like you'd benefit greatly from a CPL.

[Tom Foolery's Dad]

I really do like your compositions in these pictures!

Try to sharpen them up a bit. It might help.

Do you think the blurry part of the image is from where i am focusing (center focus), the lens, or the aperture. Or all of the above. Should i focus on the closest part of the image so that is sharp and fades as it gets further from that point. I know i need to use the aperture more, i mainly leave that open (outside i would adjust a little to around f 11) and use the shutter to get the exposure i want.

Depends on the shot, of course, but most of your pictures here are landscape-ish (buildings, streets, etc.), and a good rule of thumb would be to stop down to f8 or more. Then you run the risk of blur from too low shutter speeds (usually something slower than 1/60). Picture #3, however, would benefit from a shallower depth of field, so wide aperture works.

I can tell you, though, that this is not my sharpest lens, especially around the edges. And yes, some post-sharpening would help. I re-set my focal points while I'm shooting, but my girlfriend hates that and just leaves all the focal points on.

No reason to be stopping down that much on these shots.

That said, I like the last shot the best.
