Negative space in photography means space not being occupied by anything?

Nice pics! I just got a DSLR camera and am trying to learn photography. Can anyone recommend a good book or something to learn from?

This thread offers lots of good info, and you can pm me with any questions you have, I'm not a professional yet but I've got a decent understanding.

thanks man! I'm starting from scratch and trying to play with different settings on the camera. So far it's not turning out so good! lol

What are you trying to do? What kind of pics?

For me the key (and this is super basic) was learning the way that shutter speed, iso, and aperture all affected each other.

What kind of problems are you having?

I'm pretty sure he is referring to the large gap of unfilled photo in the middle between the cars and above the cars.

I assume he is referring to creating a perfect balance in between the distance of the cars. Im not too sure.. A good crop and quick crappy PS work can solve that though...

i mean what ^ said, there's too much empty space for my liking. i understand what he was trying to do, but eyes are not naturally drawn to the edges of a photo. having that massive negative space in the middle WITHOUT any leads to the edges makes it look awkward IMO.

Huck · 01-16-2014, 01:56 PM

Yeah, and I agree with you. This wasn't a photoshoot or anything though, just a quick snap while we all grabbed beer and chips inside lol.

I installed a 3" lift on my daily and threw on some new wheels and tires. Finally caught some pics last weekend:

Horrible editing, I'm sure, but I always liked the way this one appeared to be taken in the air.

Don't mind me, just buying time here.
