[Pic Thread] A Walk Through Delamere Forrest ...........

[{SAS}TB]

Hi - I got my first "proper" camera (D5100) just before Xmas and it had its first real outing with a noob behind the lens last weekend ...........

Nowhere near the standard and quality of everyone else here, but I enjoyed myself and loving the new hobby

Hope there are some (or at least one ) you like

Basically to get used to the camera and post processing (which even I can see is OTT on a lot of them). I like the textures and composition of all (or most) of them, but could see why some may not like them due to lack of "subject matter", but we all need to start somewhere

Thank you

It was one of those "were taking the kids out, to get out the house" moments and I grabbed the camera and yes it was mid morning on a dank grey day but my first real chance (apart from trying to heard my 3 and 5 year olds through the forrest)

Cant wait till the better weather and really must carry the camera round with me more generally, there are so many I wish I had my camera moments !

Thanks for the comments -any feedback is much appreciated

Yeah, they were having a great time - i got a few shots of them as well P) but really need to get my head round the camera settings first before i start on anything other than still life

Cheers mate, ill take a look

decent pics but could u please number them so its easier for us to comment?

Cheers and numbered

Woods aren't that easy to photograph (well I don't find them easy anyway!). Whilst your there it's all very nice, but if you don't have a strong subject/leading lines in a shot, when you get home and look at the pictures they can be a bit lacking. I take my camera out all the time on family walks/trips, I'm definitely more of a "take pictures of places I go to" rather than a "go to places to take pictures of them" type of snapper.

Get your kids in the shots, if you're worried about posting the shots online you can still have them in the shot to give interest/scale. For example just their backs as they walking away down a trail.

Thanks, yeah I know what you mean and at the moment im definitely a take my camera on trips rather than go on a camera trip

Good call on the kids and some good food for thought from all the comments from next time - thank you
