Sittin on the Dock of the Bay

I like this shot a lot. It makes me think that I'm right there on the dock with the way you did the composition.

Nice idea, but I think this shot would have been better if more of the wood grain was in focus.

I like the idea behind this shot, but I too feel like it may have been better with a more level angle. I like the aperature setting...I think you were right on with that. The color of the sky is also right on, so I think working with the composition a little bit is my best advice. Nice work!

This is my favorite picture you have posted so far. As Rex said, you could probably play a little with brightness and contrast controls to make it a little bit better. The composition is great!

Definitely a nice capture with all 3 of your lighting shots that you have posted. Living in SF, CA I don't ever get a chance to take lighting shots b/c we don't really ever have any thunderstorms here. Much like some of the others have already said, you might want to continue to seek different locations to take more lighting shots in the future since the house and tree distract a little from this shot. If you have this shot with some mountains in the background or something, it would be really nice.

Good job,
Dave

Hey Brian - Thanks for the kind words. I was really lucky to get these seats. My best friend was given the seats by his boss for a job well done, so we were excited. How often do you get to sit 1 row behind the team owner, and for free no less???? I made sure I had all my equipment with me as soon as I got the invite. Too bad Bonds wasn't playing, but I love all the Giants, so its OK. I might not have been able to fit Barry's head in the picture...hahahah! ;)

Hey Nick - Thanks for the comments. I agree it would have been nicer to have the ball in the shot as well. Man I wish I had those tickets all the time. We were sitting right behind the Giants owner and VP of Baseball Operations....a friend got the seats from his boss who is a big time fan. Too bad Bonds isn't playing b/c I could have gotten some nice shots with him being a left handed batter.

Take care,
Dave

Nice job Kel :)......love the shot. I think you should have done better. Not sure why anyone would give you anything below a 4, but that's why we are all here. To learn from others.

This would have been a great shot without the person, but she does give the shot some perspective....nice color and composition. Good luck.

My suggestion would be that maybe you should have taken the shot with less sky, especially since there were not any nice clouds or color on the day and time you took the picture. Maybe you could have also taken the shot a little lower, closer to the level of the fence, looking up the hill more to capture the grass and fence (less sky). It would have also allowed for you to capture more of the detail in the grass and old fence. Best of luck in the challenge. I hope you don't take the comments the wrong way.
