My first few DSLR shots

Pinkeyes · 5 Oct 2009 at 10:13

After an earlier thread, I ended up with a Canon 450D. I have had fun (and a lot of frustration!) in the last three week getting used to taking photos. I must say it's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I know these aren't jaw dropping, but these are a selection of my first photos. I would welcome criticism, and some idea's on what I could do better. Just remember, I'm very new to this !

1. Flowers in the Park

2. Windy Hill communications mast

3. Gutter full of rain

4. M62 Toy Town

5. Wet Boots

6. Gollum

7. Abandoned Boat House

Well the first thing that I notice is that you clearly have a good eye for composition and an interesting subject. For me these are two incredibly important things! So many times I see 'new users' post pictures which to me are nothing more than snapshots. With these, I can tell you have put some through into framing the shot, which is really nice to see.

Keep up the good work mate, take as many pictures as you can.
