A few more photees, getting to grips with my camera

Your doing well getting to grips Aln, great pictures. May I suggest a little more attention to horizons. I struggled with those until I got my new camera where I could line everything up.

 

Wow, you could submit them for critique to Steves camera course for learners
Using the most expensive camera, and providing the best manual pics for critique
Well done for a learner wishing to improve amazing good pics
If I improve that well in one one hour session I will be most impressed

Well done Steve

thanks sheal and jack

been playing with the iso, ss and the likes, its fiddly and not easy, but i'm sure with time and patience i'll get the hang of it.

Jack, the camera and lense and spare batteries was bought second hand, as i couldnt afford nor justify the retail price. the whole caboodle is like new as the previous owner has upgraded to a canon 5D3.

 

This is the canvas I had made of when I took a photo about 2 years back of our boy on holiday with the Panasonic tz1 on easy mode.

It graces the stairwell in our home

 

And another taken the other week with the canon/tamron.

 

A few more, whilst mrs al was watching the X factor, I was playing around again. It's quite hard this photee lark when you don't know what your doing, but the fun is learning!!!

 

Ah practicing Depth of field course 3 :-)

I will struggle from now on, the only portraiture I will be able to do is using one
of those kids life size makeup dolls heads
(You can not walk up to a guy and say can I take your pix mate)

The rails in one photo and the coloured kitchen tools in the other are excellent for
the DoF COURSE

Cheers Jack. I'm practicing the techniques to get things right, reading things seems straightforward but not so straightforward putting it into practice!

It's all gobbledygook to me at the moment, and I have to read things more than once to take in the technical terms. Hey ho, still fun and thanks to the 'tinternet, it's free learning

 

' You can not walk up to a guy and say can I take your pix mate'. Why not Jack? I did exactly that during the summer with the islands Lieutenant Governor and he was most obliging. If you explain briefly why you want to take the picture then most people don't have a problem.

 

I know that things are very sensitive now with regards to children and most photographers of any ability are aware of that, but it didn't occur to me that taking pictures of adults would be a problem by polite request. We live in such a hyper-sensitive world now, can we sneeze still without getting permisssion? Sorry, that's being flippant.
