I have to agree with the previous posts. The subject isn't presented in a clear and interesting way. Also, there seems to be a significant color cast. Scanned film has to be color corrected.

But don't give up! Go back to the same location and try to capture the hydrant in a better composition. Maybe try early morning or late afternoon light. Better yet, try to find other hydrants with more interesting surroundings.

It may sound silly to keep shooting fire hydrants, but if you're able to make a good photo of a hydrant, you'll have gone through some of the process and skills required to make a good photo of anything.

Don't be a stranger, Ayrton! Take some more shots and put them up, we're here to help!

In fact, why don't you return to the same place as in this picture (if possible) and try some different compositions? You can re-submit a shot of the same thing so we can work on it together.

I'd like to thank you guys for the help, as it's really nice of you to take the time out to give me advice.

I agree with Anthony. You should always have a clearly defined subject. I can't tell here exactly what it is I should be looking at. If it's the tree, then the top of it shouldn't be cut off. Also, don't worry too much about your camera; Even the world's most expensive one doesn't take good pictures by itself. And keep in mind that some great masterpieces have been taken on Polaroids!

Ok.....

Not sure what your after here. Are you seriously looking for help with this? Are your just 'new' and posting in the wrong place? Are you pulling our leg? hmmmmm.....let's see, some suggestions:

1. Find a book on basic photography and study up on 'composition'. Another way to 'see' how successful compostition is done would be to look through the recent images section here and study the photos that catch your eye. See how the shot was put together, where the subject is postitioned etc.

2. Any time you frame a picture (shot) take a moment to consider your background and the best angle to shoot from. In the above shot we have a big building taking up half the upper right frame. This is a distraction that takes away from your main subject (I'm guessing here?) the hydrant. Which coincidentally is in what may be considered the lower third if one were using the 'rule of thirds' to frame this shot.

3. On to the tree...Why did you cut the top of the tree off? Was that intentional, or did you not realize it at the time? If the tree is the secondary subject in this shot, you probably should not have cut the top off of it at the distance you shot from. HAVING SAID THAT, you could also have moved in closer and more to the right and used the fullness of the tree as a backdrop for your hydrant (which is really a nice bright shade of red btw).

4. The sky appears to have been very pretty that day, perhaps if you had laid down on the ground and shot upward you may have been able to use that as a backdrop also.

5. The exposure is ok...but that will come later.

Most of all, keep shooting! One of the wonderful things about digital is that you can shoot something like your picture above a hundred times and experiment with this without paying for processing.

Good luck,

Anthony
