Dude, that top pic is friggin' sweet, love the cropping, offcenter focus, and use of perspective...could use some better lighting, but it is a parking garage

I mean you are right your side angle picture of nothing is 23094903284x better then these pictures 



Like I said, you are a good photographer, but your side angle shots are of nothing...
anyone with a 20 second exposure and a filter can take that picture...
You definately don't need a 900 dollar camera with probably an even more expensive lens...
The fact that you think i'm blending under exposed light with over-exposed light(probably think i'm doing it in photoshop too
)
)


Nice lens flare on this one, and just what did you focus on - if anything?:

Wow look at all that dust on your sensor - or is that part of your artistic expression?

makes me wonder if you are just a man with an expensive camera instead of an actually artsy person that likes to take pictures and capture the moment and trys to capture different things....
I just think you being the good photographer that you are, that you would have used that same filter and made an actual picture of something... Give me your filter and I can take that exact same picture with a 40 dollar camera from Target....
Oh and if you wanna talk about distracting objects....
Since when did Subaru's have tree's naturally growing out of the middle of them... Last I checked one of the basic rules is you shouldn't have ****(i.e. Trees and telephone poles) growing out the top of your car... but hey that's just photography 101, i'm the newbie what do i know...

Nope, they are of my car
Go for it then and knock yourself out. I never said it was a hard shot to get just like your shots are not hard to get. You are just getting butt hurt here because someone other than Mr. LookingForAttention posted pictures here...
Nope not for this kind of shot you don't. I never said you did.
Nope, you left the shutter open too long with a bright light source in the frame:

LOL, how stupid, that come back is about as good as your 3 pictures of nothing
Like I care what you wonder or think about...
Sorry I do not loan my things out to deadbeats that do not pay their bills

Looks like a tree behind the car to me. The shot was not important enough to spend the time to set it up differently. I was just killing time not trying to get a magazine cover shot here.
Good question, when did Subarus have poles growing out of them?
Congrats, I will be the first to tell you that, that picture is ****ing horrible!

Why would you even post a picture and waste bandwidth for a picture you think is "****ing horrible!"? I do not think mine are total crap and many here would agree. Are they cover shots - hell no, not even close but they are not crap.
And I never said your lens was dirty, the dirt is on the camera's sensor and you shoud clean it... I have been civil to you with regards to your photography and even offered helpful suggestions in the past. Each of which you have dismissed and thrown out an excuse for.
Oh, and for the record I have had a non throwa away camera (digital or otherwise) for all of 13 months and I have never had any photography training so in terms of time, I am not that far ahead of you.

I have over 100 gigs of bandwith... and TONS of room, it definately isn't taking up space... trust me... LOL.
The sensor actually isn't dirty, it was the lens... Hints why in the other pictures it isn't dirty...
Actually, I have taken your helpful suggesiton and constructive criticism into consideration along with everyone elses, how else would I improve if I didn't... I would say that I am improving pretty damn fast at that, so I must be doing something right...
That makes two of us, I have also not taken ANY form of photography training, not even in highschool. I was gunna sign up for a digital photography class at Seirra College or something, because I really want to improve, so we are on the same wave length when it comes to that part...

I doubt you will do this, but:
Set your camera to the highest aperture # your lens supports and take a picture of the blue sky and post the shot and prove me wrong. You will be surprised how much crap is on the sensor that does not show up in most pictures. Mine was dirty the moment I took the camera out of the box.
I have to clean my sensor at least once a month.

You will need the swabs for your camera and the Eclipse cleaning solution, which is also great for cleaning fingerprints and smudges on the lens elements
