C & C Please

vandecarr

Happy Thanksgiving. This morning I got up before the sun and went into town to get some images of the town square and a train bridge.

Your thoughts are needed so I can improve.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my tripod with me so they are all hand held at fairly slow shutter speeds and f-stop was between 1.8 - 4.







Thanks,
Mike

This forum isn't the "Whipping Post" but allow me to add my C&C. The conversions to B&W are nice. The subject matter is boring. Simple buildings, bridges without dynamic light, contrast, interesting subject matter or compositional vibrancy do little to hold a viewer's attention. The shots look like walking down the street late at night and snapping a few shots of a small town in Pennsylvania while everyone is in bed. It's difficult to put into words what one should desire while making a photo but there is a difference of taking a picture and making a photograph.
