Merit O-Ghost Town


 The name of this picture is “Ghost Town”. I took this picture downtown on August 15, 2020 when I was walking around with my dad and brother. I took the picture with my canon rebel T5. I edited the picture by taking the saturation and vibrance down, then I took the exposure down and went up on the contrast. I made the shadows a lot brighter and showed a lot more texture and clarity in it. I then took the vignette down to make it darker around the edges. I like how the picture came out but I think I could probably lighten it up around the trees and cars to make t better.

Nice picture! The depth of field for your shot seems to be good and sharp throughout. There are a bit of dark areas on the left-side where the trees are that unbalance the picture a bit. But the tonal range of the sky is real nice since it is so vivid. This is a picture that I would keep as a wallpaper.

The editing done really adds to that ghost town feel. It kind of makes the chair and tables seem fake and like they have been edited in bringing a supernatural feel to them. I think bringing down the saturation down to the sky and road blockers a bit more would have been a nice touch. However this image looks amazing and gives the feel it is suppose to.

This is one of my favorite pictures so far. I say that because the editing on this photo is amazing. It looks clean and crisp. The filter you put on it makes it looks like something out of a movie. Great picture.

I think this may be one of my favorite pictures I've seen on these blogs. I like the subject matter as well as the lighting. I like how you turned down the brightness in editing as well as capturing the shadows. Just generally a great picture. If I could suggest anything it would be to focus on one of the tables alone because it truly support the idea of abandon as well as the ghost town feel.

I like this photo a lot but I don't know if I would have called it a ghost town. When I think of a ghost town I think of darker lighting with a lot of grey tones. Your image has a really pretty sky and some brighter colors so it takes away from the feel of a ghost town. I like how the lines on the road kind of center the image and the lines lead to the depth of the image. I really like this photo but I would suggest making it darker if you want it to be called ghost town.

This is a very good photo i do enjoy the view. I feel as if it is to much going on. What I mean by this is, there are to many objects in sight. I cant tell if I want to focus on the train, clouds, cards, barricades, or the traffic lights. Do not get me wrong, this is not a bad spot, but i just would like to have seen a focused picture on one or two things rather than six or seven.
