Photography

My brother is getting into photography and frequently asks me what I think. I'm a bit biased and don't know much about the finer point of the art. With the broad array of people here I thought I would post a link to his stuff if anyone is interested in checking it out. There's animals, landscapes, flowers, my son, sports, models, etc, etc.

Feel free to leave comments on what you think, he's looking for honest feedback.

For those who care, he's using a Nikon D40 I think, but I don't know which lenses he has. I know the one he wants is 7k.

Anyway, I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do.

Cool Pics.

Nikon's are the only camera to use. IMO

May I make a suggestion to him? As a semi-professional photographer with 30 years experience, I have had some of my photographs appear in magazines.

Tell him to forget about the 1/3 rule. Where your subject should be in the center of the picture. That's not how pictures should be. No one wants to see grass, unless it's the hills of Ireland, or Kentucky grass that is "blue".

These are examples of the subject in the middle of the picture.

Now, here are examples of pictures with the subject at the bottom.

I think everyone will agree, that these are much better. The first 2 shots are examples of what I am talking about.

However, there are times that the ground is as interesting as the scenery. Example of the 3rd shot. Where you have the train and the running water beneath it.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
