Nice image, The background looks dreamy. I would bump the brightness a little. Image looks slightly dull.

Here is my first attempt on star trails Took the shot in my garden, next time it will be somewhere better!

Oh good lord that is amazing. 10/10. Here's something not quite so well-done:

 

 

I realized that my ISO settings were what caused the grain. Still have a lot left to learn, but I suppose I'm getting there.

7.5/10, there's some dark spots on the sky, some crap on the lens perhaps? Also I would have liked to see a bit of a tighter crop, so there would be a bit less buildings visible.

 

 

There's a bit more grain here than I'd like, but the lighting wasn't the best at the time of taking the picture.

Pretty damn good. 8.5-9/10

I'm impressed by my point and shoot

I'd say that's a solid 9 for the first picture, and maybe an 8 for the second. I like how you've really captured the texture of the paint on both pictures, but the lamp on the front just kinda bugs me on the second one.

I can actually answer yes to the question: "Do you even lift?" haha

I have actually a bunch of photos I'd like to share but for the sake of the thread I'll just keep it with this B&W one for now. Also out of curiousity I want to see if people can tell exactly what I did to achieve this effect

 

 

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I officially hate google even more now. It is fine for me but it is uploaded to google because I cannot do imgur or anything that makes sense. I think I will try to include it as an attachment via LTT now.

It is an interesting picture, kinda strange for me. My brain isn't entirely sure what to look at in the photo because of the reflection, but then again that kinda makes the photo. I would say, crop the brick work out of the right slightly more. It takes away from the reflective effect. Also, you may want to boost the contrast slightly as the reflections look a little grey (where they were ment to be black) and flat.

Interesting shot. I agree with @the pokemon kid especially with the contrast. Always boost contrast when editing in black and white.

Damn noise.At least it hides the "secret serial number stuff"

great composition but noisy phone 7/10

 

 

[Nineshadow]

I've one question...does CGI count as actual photography?

[StormtrooperStu]

Great depth, beautiful colours, I would like it even more if it was a touch lighter. 8.99879/10

No.  Unless you take a photo of it.

I will have to get the lego out tomorrow.

8/10, There's a tad too much grain here for my liking. I'd also prefer if there was a little more going on in the background, as there's quite a bit of just plain white on the top of the picture.

My kin, my brother, my prince of Mushroom Land.  

 

You could do better by clearing away as much of the crap as possible to give that fabulous Shroom center stage. 

 

You will get to LOVE Lightroom and shooting in RAW. @Kefuren

[TesoroGaming]

This thread inspires me to up my photography game 

[HazMatt]

No photos from the previous two so I'll rate the mushroom one again.

@Kefuren I agree with StormtrooperStu about clearing off the stuff around the mushroom, but other than that the exposure is spot on and colors are vibrant.

Heres my photo, taken with a 55-300mm lens at 300mm.
