Hey Everyone, I just got into photography and have taken some photos, and I was wondering what you thought of them?

 

 

 

Thanks

Here's what I think you should do:

 

 

 

Make a selection of ~10 photos that you like most, from an 'artistic' point of view.

 

Then, right click on the image > Properties > copy the link you see there, and place it on these forums between tags.

 

 

 

I could view them all but that takes way too much time. ;)

I'm with Woopi on that. :| Don't want to go through all of them.

^Agreed. I'll post my opinion later.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT:I took a look at a random one and it seemed a little washed out.

Agreed.

 

 

 

I looked at about four, and they mostly look like quick vacation snapshots than anything else. They don't really seem to be driven by a desire to be 'artistic,' I guess.

I agree, they all look like snap shots. Learn how to use the manual features, instead of setting it on Auto. You will get a much better outcome. What camera do you have?

They seem very bland, washed out and lacking severely in composition, angles. They lack a WOW factor, which really makes it stand out. I looked at about 8 and basing my assumptions on that. Try to use the rule of thirds as a base for your photos, but don't be afraid to break it. Can I see a pic of what camera you are using?

Looks like a tourist's photos. Take the camera off of auto setting and learn some of the technical basics of the camera first, then move on to composition.

I agree with the previous posters, these are more like snapshots. I'd also definitely recommend selecting only a few to show.

 

 

 

The Cannon Powershot A470 7.1 MP

 

 

 

I just recieved it, and havent used a camera too much myself, so all these manual settings are new to me.

By the looks of it, it has no manual features other than the normal Macro, and flash/on/off/auto

 

By manual, we mean things like Shutter Speed, Aperture, those things. It's a pity too that you just got the camera, as it would be rude and probably expensive to go get a better one. If you were wanting to upgrade, you would be looking at a DSLR. I would suggest this one: Sony Alpha A200. That will have everything you need and more.

 

 

 

EDIT: Look at this guide: http://www.easyphotography.info/tips-on ... camera.htm

 

It tells you all the basics of photography, and some tips and tricks.
