    I love it!

    The symmetry and perspective is great, but the Level 4 sign just makes it so much better. I like the sort of softness in the sign against the harsh stone.

    I think you should be excited about this one, great work for a first shoot, looking forward to see what you can do when you get really used to your equipment.

    Thanks Fredrik!

    Do you know of a good free raw photo editor?
  4. Fredrik Nov 22nd 2008
    Sorry, can't help you much there. I have never used a free software for photo editing — so I can't comment on them.

    I've used Apple Aperture (my software of choice), Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop and tested Phase One's Capture One. I can try and look around for a good option for you, but I doubt there are solutions as good as the ones mentioned above, but at least there are open source alternative.

    That looks great Tempest!

    I love that its in black and white, because it makes the Level 4 sign capture the attention. I agree with Fredrik, the perspective and the softness of the sign are both great!

    This is definitely one of the best photographs I've seen coming from someone who just started.

    Thanks you guys!
    I added a couple more up there, and I took like 300 pictures today. After going back and reviewing them though I noticed that I had my ISO set to 1000 so a lot of them were really noisy. It's ok though because I am learning quite a bit and I absolutely love this hobby. Best idea I ever had was to go out and buy a camera and learn how to use one!

    thats badass. deff like the b&w and how the level 4 pops out at you with that hint of color
