    1st photo project - comments appreciated

    I have been working on my first serious, to me anyway, photo project and I'd love to get some feedback so that I can improve upon what I am doing. Honesty is encouraged - my feelings don't hurt easily.

    Thanks
    Norm.

    Powerful images Norm. The warm tone gives an interesting effect to the ultra technical subject matter---good choice! I really enjoyed these photos---thanks!

    Great images Norm. You are very adept at depicting powerful shapes.

    Really nice work - I liked the mix of detailed close-ups and broader view environmental shots, and particularly liked your shot of the computer room with the blurred humans (i.e. you made the shot work despite the need for slow shutter speed to get the DOF you wanted). So much for the need for thick skin - so far you're running 100% praise, and no criticisms!

    Hi Norm,

    If that's a first project... you have a lot to be proud of.

    Images are in focus, vertical lines are vertical, great subject matter, and exposure looks to be spot on!

    So, congratulations on a job well done. Keep it up.

    Cheers
    Life in the fast lane!

    Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Question. Did you have to ask to use the 4x5 on the grounds and inside? Or do they give staff latitude to take photos on their own time wherever they want?

    Beautiful work. The difficult part, as with most self-assignments, will come when you try to decide if the project is finished or not.

    Nice work. A tiny bit of perspective correction/rotation could be applied to the "Atrium" photos.
