Description
There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors. -- Jim MorrisonA 3 shot blend (-2, 0, +2). Taken in downtown Denver. I decided to go for a wander and take some pictures
Soon after this, I decided to engage in a game of chess with the downtown homeless men-- I got my ass kicked. Lesson learned, stick to photography.WANT TO BUY A CHEAP CANVAS PHOTO OF MINE? Check out my website at [link]

Stunning capture. The reflection of the sky on the glass is magical. I love the way it shines and the angle is perfect! Excellent work!

Impressive use of negative space, along with the break of the space. This should be in some kind of gallery.

Thank you very much! I know this makes me sound like a noob, but what do you mean by negative space? Just curious
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh, sorry about that! Negative space is the area of a painting or photo or even sculpture that isn't the main focus. In this photo and your other, it is the sky. Even though it isn't the focus, it is VERY important.
I've made an imaged that is based off of this photo, the link is below. The gray is the positive space, or the focus, and the white is the negative space. The negative space, along with the positive, is used to 'guide' the eye. This is why your lamp post is so important, it guides the eye across the vastness of the negative space.

I don't like this tutorial in that it dosen't mention the idea of guiding someone's eye, but it does go over types of negative spaces, mostly shadows.
[link]
This is the showing of positive and negative space in your image. Grey is positive, and white is negative space.

I hope you aren't insulted by nudes in art, but this is a painting by Matisse that shows off movement and negative space well.
[link]
This image is a smaller version of the above, showing off the movement and space. The positive space is untouched, the negative space is light red, and the movement of the eye, following the objects, is in red. See how he captures your eye and then the eye is trapped in the circular space.

I see! Wow thanks a ton for the explanation! Holy crap that's a lot of time you put into that for me. Thank you very much! I'm impressed!

I'm glad to help!
It all comes down to eventually having an 'eye' for this sort of thing, and I'd bet that you already 'know' what to look for, and I'm just adding names to what you already know! Hopefully at least ^^ Just try to see if you can use what I showed you, and it may help composition and such. Cause you've already got the color going for you ^^

Awesome shot and processing. Im looking for a wide angle lens for my D90, how do you like the Tamron?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I like it quite a bit! Of course if you have the cash, I'd suggest going for Nikkor, but this is a great lens for $300 less! I haven't had a single problem with it

Great perspective -both the image and the life lesson.
The bottom part's blurryness is due to...?
Cheers,
