My photos

www.danbutlerphotography.com My friend since grade school's older brother, he takes some amazing images and has lived in Australia, China, Argentina, and many other places.

hey man im taking a photography class this year as well. i looked at every single pic you posted and i gotta say you have a good eye for shots.

Some of your pics seem a little gray, and out of contrast. if you have filters that hook up to your enlargers in class, i would try using some of those. They make the whites whiter and the blacks blacker, incresing the pics the quality.

Like Plant said, it really just takes practice and really getting to know your camera and proper shutter and aperture settings to make the perfect pic. You honestly sound like your really into this like i was so i doubt youll have a problem.

These 3 pics were my personal favorites, keep up the great work man, also if you need any tips feel fre to ask :thumbsup:

Nice pics pat, but could you put them in jpeg for a bro next time lol. All those bmps are killing me :-p

I'd say the lighting was too dark on most, I thought the chick in the chair was cool and the tunnel one was cool. The one with water was nice. Think a few others could of been good if they had more light.

I've seen other here say that your pictures look underexposed...I agree with this. I have also taken a photography course in college, and this was a common mistake I used to make as well. First, remember to adjust the film speed and aperture on your camera during shots, and make sure to do a light test (if your camera has these features). I know these things can be confusing at first when you learn them, but it comes with practice. Also, have you learned or practiced the burning and dodging techniques during the printing process (or perhaps even gotten into filters yet)? These may come in handy to help you with the underexposed/overexposed portions. I happen to think your composition is done very well, despite a few other comments made here.
