I've only recently just brought this camera, so still in the process of learning how to use it.
However, I've taken a few shoots already.

I've already posted some of the pics, so I wont new them.
R33 wedding cars
Brisbane River Fire & Around the city

The last 3 which are night photo's are taken from Mt Cootha Lookout.

I'll be in and around the city over the next few weeks still learnin how to use the camera and taking photo's. There are a few good spots I can think of takin photo's from, specially of a night time.

Good photo's i like the second and fourth one. The only thing i would change is in the second one i would have cropped the bottom a bit just to remove the poles i think they are just looks a bit busy too me. And the fourth one i would have taken more of the water down the bottom so you could see more of the reflacetions in the water would look really cool.

the 4th one is up at mt cootha. the camera was sittin on the roof of the car, hence thats where the reflection came from.

Some nice shots mate. What camera did u get??
A couple of things u may look at doing with ur shots.
As Ghetto said, crop the reflection out of the 4th
Crop the railing out of the 2nd
Straighten the last
Brighten the 1st
And in terms of ur composition etc.
The paddle steamer one is too busy. The houses in the background are the same color as it so they get lost in it and it is hard to define the boat from the houses.
The 4th is better than the 5th because the 4th is even, whereas the 5th is a bit one-sided.

They are just minor things that u will always get when u start out, but the earlier u recognise them the quicker u get better. Dont take it as abuse (as some people do) it is just help.

Keep it up and keep posting, U'll get better every time.

Try to take more unique shots, experiment with different angles, try to make a different point and vision of the picture rather then just *Click Tink*

I really like the first one i would just crop the sky out the top of the photo just to draw more attention to the buildings and water just a bit too much black up top imo.

oooohh noooo!
Don't use that program! it fucks with the colors so much when ou save them.
Use ifanview (freebie), it leaves the colors alone, except for what you want to change. It has all the same functions as Picture Manager though.

To see what I mean, try this...
Open an unedited, full-res pic (straight from the camera)
Re-size it,
Press save.

I cant remember if it is when u press save or re-size, you will suddenly see ALL the colors change, as well as the basic appearance of the shot. It is crappy program. I used to use it, but I stopped when I realised it.

I think you need to use a smaller aperture and a longer shutter for the 1st one.
The next ones lack compostion a bit. Just looks like a normal street to me. Go to the freeway or somewhere like that so u can get some nice solid flowing lines in your shot.

Yeah, that was sorta the point of the pic. I was walkin to the car and with little people around, little lighting within the street, sorta gave that "dead" feeling which is wat gave me the idea of taking the pic.

Not bad mate. Composition is bit ordinary though. Make sure u really plan the composition of ur shots before u take them. That way they are nicer to look at because they are more orderley and clear. Just look in some of the guides in the Digital Dark Room and News, Reviews etc Threads, there are some great ones in there.

A few pics I took last night while I went for a run up to Australia Zoo to check out the front area of where the flowers and all have been laid.

Kinda blurry in some cases. Long exposure, avoiding the big spotlight would have been good.
Very nice Tribute to Steve though.

I couldnt exactly walk up to people and tell them to move cause we wanted to take photos there without people in the pics.
as much as i wanted to chop down the tree's, i just couldn't do that sad.gif

we tried to set the story bridge as the backdrop for them but unfortantly we didnt have enough grass space to move further out.

I wasnt using any auto mode, i was usin the 'Apature' mode on the camera along with at times, ISO mode. I'm still in the process of learnin how to use the camera and what each mode means and does, but time will give me that chance to learn it all.

Needs a faster shutter speed (or u need a steadier hand).
Turn the ISO up or get a tripod and use a smaller aperture with a much longer exposure.
It Lacks sharpness because of the large aperture.

Might be worth going through ur shots and zooming on them (in-camera) and checking if u have motion blur.
