Critique Club for Safety First
Composition - The first thing I noticed is that the dummy is out of focus even though there is nothing impacting him yet. The piston or whatever is going to strike him is very well captured. Pretty much the whole picture is out of focus, like it was taken at a very slow shutter speed. I really like the idea of this though. It could make a great image.
Background - The background is not square to the picture, especially since there is a grid screen on the right side. It makes it just that more obvious. The projectile is shooting downward as it appears in this picture. It would've looked better if the screen was all the way across the picture too to eliminate the test engineers or whoever is in the background.
Camera work - Definitely need some more light to enable you to shoot at a higher shutter speed. It would've been a great freeze action if you could capture the pison blurried and the rest of the picture clear.
Post-processing - Not really an issue here
Overall - This is a great idea, but with this combinations of things that could be improved, it was not accepted very well by the viewers. My picture also suffered from being out of focus, which was done on purpose. Some pictures are meant to be somewhat out of focus. My opinion on anything scientific or technical should be as clear as you could make it. I think if I were to take this pic, it would be blurry too from anticipating the impact the dummy is about to take. If you didn't use a tripod, it probably would be advisable. There is a great combination of colors here. I think this shot definitely has potential. - Inspzil |
