First time taking Photo's need advice

smogsy · 5 Apr 2009 at 14:13

I just took some photo's, i would like to get into some photography/editing as a hobbie. i use photoshop a bit but for webdesign.

these are the pictures i just took with my Canon Powershot A550 would like advice on how to make a better shot & how to edit these so they look even better.

i would like to get A SLR in the near future if photography takes off

Here they are

i have done a bit of photo editing before but that was just modding cars :mad:
