Thankyou

I think they're very good Keeley. Some of them are very very good indeed!

 

Just like Mrs 0742Sheff you seem to have 'the eye'. People like yourself can see a photo opportunity everywhere they look. The composition of most of your shots is really impressive as well.

 

Just a few of the ones that caught my eye are the gull on page 9 (taken with the 5700. A camera i still have here ), 'rock at rhb' on the same page, '11' on page 5, 'Barbed wire' on page 2 and 'Whitby Abbey on page 1.

 

I could go on about most of them though. Great work

 

[EDIT] I don't have any tips for you i am afraid. Your images are already better than what i take

Thankyou for taking the time to look at them and thankyou i really do love taking photographs.

a few people i know have also said i have the "eye" i just take pictures of things i like and that i think could make a good photo.

I had that camera for a few years but just recently i have upgraged to the Samsung NX5.

 

I like the barbed wire one too but the colour fox glove with water droplets is my fave.

 

thankyou 0742sheff

Hi Keeley, they're really good - you definitely have got an eye for it! Your colours are really vivid - did you edit the pics or are they straight from the camera?

[KeeleyF 10]

Hi Bad Hair Day

 

Thanks Most of them haven't been edited the poppies one has a little I have only put shadows in and also the 2nd purple flower (clematis) where I made the back ground darker. but that's all I prefer the natural look but I find if you make the backgrounds darker the image looks better

 

Thanks for your comments much appreciated

Some great photos, Keeley. For landscapes, it might be worth investigating graduated filters - these allow you to keep the colour in the sky and expose the foreground properly.

Steve,

 

I might get some of them if they will improve my photographs, it is really difficult to keep the coulour of the sky i found it harder with my old camera though.

Thanks

I've just ordered some graduated filters, and a polarising filter, for the same reasons, Keeley. Have a look at the Cokin system if you do so you can use the same filters if you ever upgrade/change your camera in future.

 

With the Cokin filters you can slide the grads up or down depending on where your horizon is too. With the screw-in filters you're stuck at one position.

 

Mind you, Lightroom does a pretty decent job at simulation a grad filter, if you've not blown the sky out too much.

Great stuff..!! I have a major soft spot for mega-wide panoramic shots (RHB2) ..I love it
