The "Post your pictures here" thread.

Simple critique is you are going out at the wrong time of day mate! The light looks really hard on the first shot and obviously the last, meaning you are out in the pure sunshine. Best woodland shots are done either first thing in a morning or last thing at night imo. The gentle light, specifically golden hour light, really brings a nice mood to your images and gives your subject something special.

Example:

Evening light

Morning light

Both taken in a local woodland in Hull. I'd recommend going for just a walk during the hard light hours and pick out things that might be of photographic interest, then return when the light is right. Can do this for pretty much anything apart from wildlife.

Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate what you mean and for the advice there James - I'm still trying to learn all the features on my new camera and will try and get a few early morning and dusk shots within the next few weeks.

What camera/lens are you using? As for 'features', the only ones you need to learn are shutter speed, aperture and ISO.

As above really, making use of the right light usually makes or breaks a picture. Early morning and evening/sunsets make for the best light

You are most welcome. If you need any hints and tips just trust message me mate. I really don't mind giving critique and I'll always try and link it back to something I've done personally.

Went to photograph the sunrise, too much cloud so ended up chatting to a fisherman called Pete and taking a few portraits.

Brilliant picture Raymond - having recently tried taking some pictures of my niece (4 years old) I know how hard it is to get them to stay still

On topic and out in my garden yesterday I took these from the hanging baskets:
