Photographers? how it affects your shooting?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel miserable with my ugly photos seeing all the wonderful photos here I just can never take a sharp photo

|A couple examples

Greentea, that shot of the red beetle on the blue flower is excellent! I'd have been very pleased to have got that! What you won't have seen are the hundreds of blurry, badly exposed and wonkly framed pics that I've taken in my time. I've got barrow loads of those. And no, I'm not going to post any.

I've been browsing a few photo forums and some of the people who post there are professional level. Talk about perfect, there is stuff out there that is National Geographic beautiful. Don't give up though, if you love photography, it is definitely one of those things which improves with practice.

I have just made the digital plunge and ordered my Canon EOS 50D. Autofocus (never had it before) is going to make such a difference to my pics! I am buzzing at the prospect.

Thank you for the encouragement to keep trying, AC! And wishing you lots of fun and success with the new camera!

Hey Guys,

Several things have kept me from coming back here as much as I want to

1 My daughters getting married in 4 weeks EEK !

2 New job - gotta earn those bucks ! Also started writing for the Net,we will see how that goes.
If you want to look I'm at Web Page Name SquidooWeb Page Name Moms scared to surf naked (How I became a geek )
First time I EVER wrote anything...and I want to write about A.S,too,but need to learn more,let it all "settle" a
bit,first..KNOW you guys will set me right if I mess up,LOL.

3 The Flu....

I read thro' all the posts and was awed at the talent here - gonna visit everyone's site who posted a link.

Thanks for welcoming me and sharing,I do feel right @ home...that's what this pic is about.
It comes with a story-

My beloved "cheese",the ginger tom,brought a tiny female kitten home,last week,washed her,curled up.

My family all think its funny,as I do some kitten rescue,from drains,etc,and he just copied me.

Photography is part of my job, so I can't really get away from that world, even if I wanted to...! Unfortunately the kind of shots I have to take for work would not really be the kind of thing to put up on here...
Also, I always get issued with different kit (I use Canon, I get issued with Nikon and can never find all the buttons!), and the kit isn't so robust nowadays... much easier to break than what I was taught on!!
The shots I take for fun are usually in B&W, and rarely involve people (don't know why...), but I love just wandering around with the camera and being left to do as I please.
Some of the interest was a result of trying to explain to people that I don't seem to see the world like they do, then trying to show them what I see... sometimes it even works....
Great to see shots from everyone, so many are absolutely fascinating.

I'm not huge on photography, as I never have my camera when I want it... anyways, heres my flickr...

EDIT: I would like some people to give me comments on my pictures, I just want to know how they are. Positive and negative feedback welcomed!

That's "Door to Hobbiton"... or "Hobbiton Hole" for short...

My favourite shot:



I just love the way the bird looks, too bad it had to ruin my photo of the hippo... Unexpected things make for interesting photos.

I take pix just to try to show others how I see the world. I post pix on my MySpace and FaceBook pages and I scrapbook for the rest. I also love to turn some of my photos into cross stitches. I love to drag my camera everywhere and take pictures everywhere. Sometimes they are good and sometimes I trash them. That's what is so great about digital cameras. Delete retake delete crop zoom retouch redeye. Basically eliminates all the flaws! Love it!

I think that we have very unique perspectives as artists and I think that we should find the forums that will provide outlets for us. I just do it for me. I'm good at it and I enjoy it.
