Thought I'd post a few. Mostly from the Sigma 10-20. Looking forward to buying a Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 at some point as a fast replacement for the kit lens. :)

Clear skies made for some good astrophotography tonight. I'm still new to it and this is my first try. First you can see Orion, and below it you can see the Seven Sisters.

Nice, I would try to get a bit clearer focus next time though, use live view 10x and manually focus on a star. What settings did you use for this shot?
 
They were taken with the Canon 50mm at f/1.8 and a 15" exposure at ISO 800. I did use live view but had a hard time seeing anything when I magnified up the image. I'll remember that for next time.

The best way is to focus on the brightest star in the sky, but it can be tricky. You should look into image stacking as well.

Thanks... care to say why? After all, I feel that part of being a good photographer is to leave constructive feedback when you say you don't like work. ;)

Horizon is not straight, Majorly over exposed in the most important part of the picture, Vignetting should have been fixed as it is quite strong and does not do the photo a favour, it is correctly composed, should have stood maybe 3 ish yards or so to your left so you still get the rocks but remove the distracting buildings on the left side of the photo. Appears to me that in the very front is out of focus, for a photo like this f/22 would be considerably better. The colors are considerably off as well.The vignetting really screws with the photo.

Now if you are just a hobbyist who likes to go out do some snapshots than they are just fine. But truth be told that particular photo would be highly improved if you went manual or at least AP priority so you can get f/22. Basically since you have the D3200 you should've tripod-ed it, make sure the horizon is straight ( My camera has a built in horizon meter ) and since you shoot raw and process everything, I think it would have been vital too do some auto lens corrections to drop out that discoloration. I can see how over exposing the middle can look nice if keeping it in limits. But it just washes out the photos and causes far too much distraction. I remember you told me you prefer to spend time composing your shots rather than messing around with manual. That's fine manual isn't for everyone, but then really compose you're photos. One thing to try to get more sense of depth and wow factor is get lower to the ground. Anyone can see when you just stand and snap the picture, and people can also tell when you get in position and really compose the shot in angles others don't shoot. Also for this shot going vertical also would have help. When I have photoshop re installed I will do some processes and just show you round about what I mean. I cannot really do anything with the images I save because they are low res jpegs but i'll give it a go anyway. And I'm not being a dick, i'm telling you what I find done wrong in the photo if you ever want to be taken as a serious photographer. I'm no saint myself but i've been going to school dedicated in photography for some time now and I have learned a lot. Next classes will be on Lightroom lol, right now I can only use photoshop..

This isn't a photo critique thread, it's simply a thread for people to share photos they took. I don't believe he was looking for anyone to critique his photo, and even if he was there is a difference between constructive criticism and being rude.

While true, this is minor, it's maybe off by a couple degrees at most.

Do you have a color calibrated IPS display? I do, and while bright it's not "Majorly over exposed", there are just a few hot spots on the water near the beach and in the lower part of the sky.

Vignetting should have been fixed as it is quite strong and does not do the photo a favour

Vignetting was added in post processing, as you can tell this is not a camera artifact. The use is completely in the mind of the person editing the photo, there's no right or wrong reason as to why it can't be in this photo.

Appears to me that in the very front is out of focus, for a photo like this f/22 would be considerably better.

You do know that the highest apertures of lenses do not have the best IQ, right? Most lenses have their peak IQ around f/8-f/14, and tapers off when wider or narrower. Besides, using an f/22 aperture may not work if he does not have a tripod and would rather not have a high ISO.

The colors are considerably off as well.The vignetting really screws with the photo.

It's slightly cool, but I wouldn't say the colors are considerably off, the vignetting only darkens area, it doesn't mess with the colors.

Now if you are just a hobbyist who likes to go out do some snapshots than they are just fine.

Again with being rude.

How do you know he didn't shoot Av?

So does my Canon, but this photo can't be more than a few degrees off, and it's easy to make that mistake during the physical action of depressing the shutter button.

And I'm not being a dick, i'm telling you what I find done wrong in the photo if you ever want to be taken as a serious photographer.

Yes you are, it's one thing if he asked for you to critique him.

This is obvious from your astrophotography photo thread.

i've been going to school dedicated in photography for some time now and I have learned a lot.

That's great, except photography is an art, there's nothing right or wrong about how someone chooses to shoot and edit a photograph.

was just a impulse shock to what you said, didn't have time to write a lengthy post, look at the one correct one.
