First attempt at nature photography

**LauraLee** · 05-19-2008, 12:17 PM

I am not a good 'critic', but what I see looks good.

**Spunky** · 05-19-2008, 12:19 PM

Looks pretty good to me..good eye

**gotekix** · 05-19-2008, 12:37 PM

I like them. The third one seems a little out of focus though.

**Dailydiapers** · 05-19-2008, 12:40 PM

Yeah, that one didn't come out perfect, but I just liked it. No clue who the bride is, just a lucky shot

First attempt at nature pornography

My first attempt at nature pornography

on a serious bizness note. the flower pic would look pretty nice sharpened a bit and with the colors brought up a little. would make a nice wallpaper.

**Scott McD** · 05-19-2008, 12:59 PM

Not bad at all...

**AaronM** · 05-19-2008, 01:09 PM

I like the first pic the best.

**viencarl** · 05-20-2008, 01:49 AM

nice pics

**Iron Fist** · 05-20-2008, 02:10 AM

I think if you had the flower as the focus item without another flower in the background, it would be more powerful... good shots though.

**halfpint** · 05-20-2008, 02:12 AM

Nice pics..the first one is real nice

**IntenseJerry** · 05-20-2008, 03:08 AM

Very Nice... Thx

**Violetta** · 05-20-2008, 03:22 AM

looks very nice!

Yeah I can fix that... the botanical gardens gets pissy when you start clipping off flowers to make your pics look better

**rayadp05** · 05-20-2008, 06:56 AM

I like the first two pics.

**Xrated J** · 05-20-2008, 07:00 AM

nice pics

**DutchTeenCash** · 05-20-2008, 07:00 AM

looks good first one esp

**sniperwolf** · 05-20-2008, 08:16 AM

they looks nice!

**_Richard_** · 05-20-2008, 08:24 AM

That last pic is a good one

**SilentKnight** · 05-20-2008, 08:33 AM

Good composition in the first pic, although I'd have shifted a bit to the right to eliminate the big vertical cactus that's outta focus. Perhaps crop it out.

**Dailydiapers** · 05-20-2008, 09:46 AM

There was a doorway to the right so that was my best option, cropping should work.

**aztecboi2003** · 05-20-2008, 10:09 AM

I like the first two photos

**Kudles** · 05-20-2008, 10:20 AM

Looks nice I like the flower

**Dailydiapers** · 05-20-2008, 11:20 AM

Cleanup of Wagoon Wheel Pic - Cropped blurred Cactus, sharpened image.

**EuroRev_Stacey** · 05-21-2008, 04:09 AM

I'd say those are NICE shots

**Ashley023** · 05-21-2008, 04:32 AM

Nice shots

The first Mexican-style picture reminds me a permanently moving-rolling plant of deserts called tumbleweed. Just like in a western movie:

**carol.prime** · 05-21-2008, 09:11 AM

good looking pics.. thumbsup

**firecracker** · 05-21-2008, 12:37 PM

I really like the pictures. Here an example of what my 7 year old daughter did...
What do you think?

**firecracker** · 05-21-2008, 12:43 PM

What do you think?

I actually use a couple for screen savers. I got proud because she takes pictures better then me on the same camera. LOL

**Dailydiapers** · 05-25-2008, 05:16 PM

Great pics for a 7 year old. She's got a good eye... I vote photo/art classes for that kid!

**Dailydiapers** · 05-30-2008, 02:55 PM

Turtle Rock

Much improved

**Deej** · 05-30-2008, 10:13 PM

i like the 1st - I would have captured a little more of the top of the wheel. (unless there was a disturbance up there)

just to have it finish out part of the top right side... just seems, unfinished...

it would place the points of interest a little more...

ask aaron about the ... 3 point rule is it? something like that...

anyway...

the turtle rock pic i dig too, up the contrast a little... it will enhance it a bunch... possible even the saturation..

this is just what i would do :P

youre on the road to some good work though for sure...

what are you shooting?

**Dailydiapers** · 05-31-2008, 03:08 PM

I'm using an Olympus Evolt e-500 with a 40-150mm lens (80-300 equiv) I know many prefer Nikons but I think Zukio/Olympus has some of the finest lenses on the market right now.

looking good mate

**potter** · 05-31-2008, 05:53 PM

not too shabby

**adonthenet** · 05-31-2008, 09:35 PM

Nice, work hard and do better with time!

**tony286** · 05-31-2008, 09:41 PM

you have a good eye

**Catalyst** · 05-31-2008, 10:36 PM

Yea.. the number one problem I see is just get closer to the flower pic.

you are doing good..

also if you want to have fun.. sometime try HDR outside..

**Richard Dawkins** · 05-31-2008, 10:50 PM

My honest opinion is that these photos are amateur at best. You'll get there but the journey is just beginning for you.

I agree, the shots are poorly framed out of focus and have no subject... nothing special at all and honestly some of the worst photography I have ever seen... even the flower shot in auto mode

Keep practicing and maybe you should read up on photography

**Dailydiapers** · 06-01-2008, 12:31 PM

Woo hoo! Worst Ever! lol

**shekinah** · 06-01-2008, 04:50 PM

I like the flower photo most...Goodluck to you!

**GetSCORECash** · 06-01-2008, 05:39 PM

This is a great image.
