The train is not the focus of the picture, it seems. If a lower third (in TV terminology) was to be superimposed upon it, it would be almost invisible, and the harbour or maybe the port behind the freight cars would become the focus. If the camera was angled lower about 10 to 20 degrees, the train would become centered in the frame and become the focus as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Meu Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 CT 6044 curves along a road beside Brentwood Station on the Route 9 as a short trip to the University of Calgary during a bright sunny morning. As the current signup comes to a close within a week (at the time of posting), most school runs will stop running (until September) after this month. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a photograph, so your "TV terminology" need not apply. Clearly Michael was intending to take a photo that was of more than just a locomotive and you sure the hell don't know what he intended to focus on. Michael does quite well with shooting scenes that intentionally don't put the vehicle as the only focus, but rather as part of a larger scene. And yes, I realize it could be hypocritical of me to criticize someone elses criticizing, but, I just think you're off the mark and your grain of salt comment in your signature confirms that. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do we have to remind you of the photo quality rules before you understand them? There are leaves in the way and the photo is only showing 1/3 of the bus. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to shout at me, that’s all on you buddy, but it’s nature’s fault for putting that tree and I got hedges beside when I took it. 1 hour ago, GrandeWest_B35G said: Phones can take perfectly good shots if you know how.

Remember: this is the FEATURED PHOTOS thread. The whole point of this thread is to find high quality / special photos for the featured photo. Look at all the other photos other people have taken. I think what you need is practice and experience and then you can come back and submit higher quality photos. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a tree, move over or find another spot. If you have something genuinely good to post, then put it up here. But use some common sense. A blurry, off center cut off photo isn’t gonna cut it. Maybe it’s time to actually start listening and looking at what other people post and try to come up with something similar. Don’t trash a perfectly good thread because you didn’t bother to put any effort into your work. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have a bike rack most likely because that bus has been recently refurbished. I think it may have fallen through the cracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still an LFS whether it’s a diesel or hybrid-electric. “LFS HEV” is being more specific to the fuel/drivetrain system. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
