Canon 350d + Lake District + Newbie =

[woodsy]

Hi All,

Well I got my hands on a Canon 350d yesterday and being a complete and utter newbie at photography, decided to take advantage of the good weather and head to the Lake District to see what I could come up with.

I haven't had a chance to put them in to Photoshop and play around with them yet but I’d just like to share them with you all to see if I can get any advice on how I can improve my photography skills.

The Results

Straight Horizons.

Rule of thirds. (Though definatly not always, rules are there to be broken)

Try looking in the stickies at the top of this forum. I like your shots, just not have much punch, that can be helped in photoshop.

Goes off to look at Stickies, thanks for the feedback and I know what you mean about lacking 'punch'. Hopefully everyone will be able to see an improvement in my shots over the coming months thanks for your reply

Don't you just hate 'newbies' that live in Cumbria!

lol don't you just

like previously said, the horizons are a bit wonky

which lakes/locations are the pics of?

i cycled upto caldbeck last saturday, took my kit with me, what a great view you get of the solway , shame it started raining

Its Ulswater pics are taken down from Pooley Bridge. Luckly for me the rain kept off

Thanks for your comments
