Hi everyone I just joined this forum. I just finished a Pre-College class at the Academy of Art.


This was the portfolio I displayed for the final exhibition. Any and all critiques are welcome!

Beautiful portfolio and Welcome to the Forums!


I love the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate shots. Beautiful exposures!


The only critique that I would suggest would be to watch the vertical lines in some of the buildings that are in the center of the frame. For example you could probably straighten the Clock tower in the "Fire Dancers" Shot, and the same goes for the Trans America Pyramid, and the Bathed in Light shot.


No need to straighten all of the buildings on the edges of the frame, however the buildings in the "center of the frame" will stand out more.


I hope that helps,


Rich

Great shots Nate and welcome to the forum. The moonrise over the pyramid building - is the moon and illuminated clouds in a separate layer for it to show no movement? My favorites are the trolly car and first shot from the Marin Headlands.
