[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 419524, member: 14443"] the pictures are fine but something id like to suggest that you take with you on your journey to learning photography. a half ass job is a mindset. so stop it while youre new. dont show any picture with a "dont midn the dust/speaker wire" you make yourself look bad and shows you couldnt put a slight effort into making a simple image look proper. take this with you forward. there are enough mediocre photographers that plague the net and world. you could have shot it with a smartphone and put it less effort. next time, clean the statue. rub some polish into it to bring its luster out. get the flash a bit off center (if you have an off camera flash, which u should since theyre very cheap) and tape the wire out of the way. its also a bit disrespectful if youre looking for advice and help from us but couldnt be bothered to put in a little effort on your part. its a back and forth respect to one another. to me, the exposure is off because the flash shadow is clearly shown and looks..well.. amateurish. we all need to start somewhere but learning how to blend ambient light with flash is an art. it all sounds harsh but its a work ethic you should implement moving forward. never do a half ass job. thats what instagram and facebook is for.
