Hope that's not too many pics :rolleyes:

More of my photography can be seen on my site in my sig if anyone fancies a look! :)
 
Fantastic pictures there, what camera do you use to get those kind of results?:wave:

Canon EOS 450D! :D The close-up pics (bugs and reptiles & droplet) I used a 60mm macro lens and the other shots I used a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS - very nifty lens :)
 
Thanks everyone for the comments so far! :D

Wow, they're great! Where did you learn?

I taught myself! :) I started out a few years back with my very first digital compact camera, I only got it to take some snaps of the pets as I realised we didn't really have any... It was then I realised how fun photography was. A year after that I got my first DSLR becuase I wanted full control over my pics, wanted to learn to use the manual settings. During that time I did a ton of research and have been experimenting with different techniques and ideas since! :) I've had my DSLR for 2 and a half years now! :D
 
you should join a camera club, that way you'll learn even more plus you get photos assessed by judges which always helps. for example the first pic, the boat, the image has a top and bottom half as you've got the horizon straight across the middle of the image. that's something to avoid. the sun is burned out in the top half plus the rocks? in the foreground are too dark. i'd be tempted to crop out these two things and experiment a little with this. what is nice about the image is the tone and the waves plus you do have a boat in the image-was this added later or did the boat just happen to come along?
anyway that's the sort of thing you learn at camera clubs plus you get to see other folks images which is good for inspiration! i've got the 450d too and thinks its a great camera plus i also use photoshop too help with images.

It's only something to avoid if it doesn't work for the image ;) Certain photography 'rules' can be bent if it's beneficial to the picture. I quite like the blacked out rocks, I think it adds another layer to the image :p And as the sun was casting light behind the rocks their underexposure couldn't be avoided. That boat seemed to be their perminantly, not quite sure what it was doing there? but it never seemed to move from that spot the whole 2 weeks I was there...strange lol. But will agree the sky in the solar region is very burnt out, not quite sure how I could avoid that without underexposing the rest of the image? I suppose I'd learn that if I payed more attention to photography forums and such eh? :lol:

I suppose I should get photoshop really, I hear so much about it and I suppose it would help with my pictures too!
