Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
Look at the part of the train in the center of the photo - definitely leaning to the left a little. Did you do some wide angle distortion correction or something? The end of the long hood on the lead geep looks kinda weird...

P.S. "true" W/A distortion is "OK" on rp.net so long as the center of the photo is level like it should be.
Edit - although seemingly not preferred - for rp.net shoot for compositions that don't require you to go so wide (which generally means getting farther back wherever possible)

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
Needs some CW rotation. Level it off the verticals on the nose of the loco. Also, I would have gone wider to show that car on the spur, as it looks like an interesting subject to include in this scene. The way it's cut off, I wouldn't be surprised if you got bad cropping next.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
You know, I thought of that but The shot would have been Way Wide distortion and It just wouldn't look composed well. Like a wedgie with a car sticking out of the side. That's why I went this direction.J T wrote:Needs some CW rotation. Level it off the verticals on the nose of the loco.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
I dunno how to help the cropping reject, but that image is also unlevel. Needs a decent amount of CW rotation from what I can tell.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
Look at the Antenna on the right, Its already leaning to the right. And the cab of the loader on the flat car is dead nuts.
As For cropping IDK either, I think its what I said, A flat car sticking out the side of a wedgie. I just tryed it cause I wanted to see.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
See, this is why I could never be a screener there. I'm too anal about stuff being cut off. The accepted shot just doesn't show enough of the car on the spur for me. As far as unlevel goes on the rejection, you're dealing with some wide angle distortion there making both sides look to be leaning outward. And the only thing I can think of on that one for the bad cropping is that it makes the train too centered horizontally. Maybe if you had panned upward slightly to include less foreground and a little more sky (or vice versa), it might have worked out better.JUST AARON wrote:OK JT Here's your answer, LoL.

This is a weird one. The car on the spur is definitely and interesting subject to include, but it makes for a tough composition to be created from this angle without having a lot of dead space at the top and bottom. Elevation (step ladder or something) could have helped this scene as well.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
The cropping on the second one is not pretty bad IMO. That cut off flat car just kills it, ugh, not a fan. You are killing me Aaron, I love your stuff normally!
Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
LoL, Sorry Brent, But Im really not that good of a photographer, Im just learning.
That being said,
I really wanted to get that flat car in there but couldnt make it look good, SO, That is why in the accepted shot you end up with the Cut off end. I have to see if there happens to be a frame with the whole thing.
I know the one that has most of the falat car is still cut off behind the loader cab. I assume that is the one you are talkng about that you dont like.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
I disagree, you have a great eye for composition which to me is the thing that separates photographers from people who take pictures. You are as good, if not better then me.
See this is what kills me about RP and why I am such a flickr whore now. You are adjusting your already good work and making it worse by doing anything to try to get it on RP.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
This is true. I have actually been having an internal struggle with this for a few weeks now.
Second guessing what I am doing and who am I trying to please?
GTW hogger and me have been talking about this quite a bit lately also.
BTW, Thank you for the compliment.
ABOVE ALL, I guess I do it for fun.

Re: Horizon Unlevel Need Help
If he wants to put it on flickr or anywhere else in its original crop, he's more than capable of that. Just because he's changing it slightly for one particular site, it doesn't mean the original shot doesn't exist any more to be shared elsewhere on the web.MagnumForce wrote: See this is what kills me about RP and why I am such a flickr whore now.

You're over-analyzing it. If you want photos on RP, adjust to their standards but only for the shots that you want there. In the meantime, put the originals on other sites (here, flickr, etc) if you want to keep them the way they were. It's a pretty simple concept.JUST AARON wrote:This is true.
