Dan Arthur is right about downtown Tulsa. The Art Deco architecture is abundant all over downtown. Several of the older churches and cathedrals are decorated with friezes and engravings of saints, apostles and numerous scriptures. The Brady District has lots of old buildings and the aged patina of a typical downtown in disrepair. I regularly go downtown early on Saturdays and Sundays when its pretty much abandoned and peaceful.
There's a lot of old 50s and 60s style neon signs still up and in use in downtown. I want to spend some time down there shooting them. Keep on taking pictures, unless I am mistaken your camera is a digital and they really don't cost anything unitl you print them.
Hey Steven, If you look close, the buildings are slightly out of focus - that is likely from movement from you holding the camera and not taking the picture from a tripod (or at least resting the camera on a solid object). The composition could also use some work. There are some really great vantage points around Tulsa, especially nearer downtown. Try getting closer to some of the churches as they provide a good bit of interest. Those towers you have would really benefit from not having to compete with the light poles and the trees. If you are really just learning and want to use downtown as your practice area - try taking shots from all over the downtown area - get to know downtown. Take pictures early in the morning when there is color in the sky and at dusk. Take shots during the day, at night, when there is a storm, when the moon is still out, when a storm approaches, etc. I suspect that you could take thousands of pictures of just the downtown area and by the time you got done, you would have really learned something about what type of photos you like, what you don't like, what works and what doesn't work. In addition, you've simply got to fill out all of the data about about the camera you use, shutter speed, aperture, camera settings, etc. That Nikon 5700 you are using is a really neat camera and can take some great shots, but you've got to start getting detailed and understanding what impact those details have on your photos. Then you'll really make some improvements! Lastly, get creative and have some fun with this. There's no limit on how many pictures you can take - so practice practice practice! Regards, Dan
