You set the shutter speed to 2-8 seconds... other words a long exposure time. The camera also must be on a tripod or you'll get some weird effects.

I thought the first thing they taught in photography classes was the rule of thirds... :?

Oh well, some are pretty good, namely the back-alley (#13) and telephone pole (#15) ones, although I would suggest reworking the angle on the latter... it's a bit awkward as is. In particular, those two could definitely benefit from a little more resolution and a little more focus on the details (the guy sitting by the building in #13, and the writing on the pole of #15) of the scene rather than the more broad approach you took.

The model shots aren't great, but then again, those kind of shots rely heavily on the model and studio equipment you have available.

You can do that with most digital cameras too. Just set it to manual and lower the shutter speed. You can create your own sprint commercials with it :D

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. But I just wanted to point out that there was no writing on the pole in the 15th pic. And for the 13th shot I didn't want much detail of the person.

Eh, I guess I just glanced at it too quickly. The engravings, whatever they are... that's what i meant.

And now that you mention it, yeah, the guy seems like he'd be pretty boring up close. He looks just mysterious enough that far away to be interesting. I still like the contrast in color in that picture.

Not bad, but they seem a little amateurish. Theres several pictures you over contrasted to the point that you ruined the photo.

The rest feel flat. You either don't have a focal point, or your perspective is just...boring. You need to get better angles on shots, rather than just standing flat and shooting. You have some interesting subjects and some rather cliche subjects. Either way, you could've made all your pictures more interesting if you would've put a little more creativity in when you were shooting. I know sometimes you don't have time to think of the perfect angle, depth of field, distance, ect, and sometimes impulse shots turn out great, but yours just feel like they COULD be good, rather than actually looking good.

You've got potential..just need some practice and feedback.
