Nothing to feel intimidated by Graham, the more you use your camera the more confident you will become.
Use others photos on here to draw inspiration from and learn how they achieved 'the look'
Keep it up Sir and don't forget to experiment with those settings

Even the professional photographers were novices once guys.
I'll go dig some of my first photos from the grim depths of my image archive, may help see the rubbish I used to take

So, this is from Castle Howard...I took this on an old Nikon S500 compact camera in September 2007. Camera fully automatic, composed it purely for the symmetry, point and click in typical fashion. Anyone could have taken this.

..and on the subject of HDR check this bad boy out. I'm actually embarrassed by this if i'm honest. This was shot in 2008 on the second SLR I ever bought new, a Canon 40D and 17-85mm costing me over £800 at the time...and this is all I could do with it...
Get your sunglasses ready...

Nothing to critique that I can see, beautifully composed and great use of the available light
I agree with the above and add thst the photos Alan are spot on. I commented in full about them on Facebook.

2 critiques posted up ages ago regarding a couple of photos I put, well one of the comments made me feel useless at photography and the other I learned from.

aargh! Get that out of auto now! use P,at least, and play with the settings. It isn't costing you anything,and if it all goes wrong,and you can't get the settings back you can there is always the reset option and if it goes right,you will have learned something new


That is if you want to of course. I understand that some people simply want to take camera out shoot a decent quality image and the put it back after. If that's so,don't forget the nonflash auto mode too it is the square box with the line through the lightning bolt.

Here is one I posted up recently where it was alleged it had been photoshopped. It had been taken using this iPhone 3GS I am writing on. A simple beach shot ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393522602.612078.jpg

Is it a selfy or did Jessica take it Phil?
The composition is pleasing with the horizon at one third down the frame and yourself off to one side.
Obviously the camera sensor etc has its limitations but the shot makes me want to be going for a dip so it hits the right buttons for me!
