To me the point of interest was the flowers with the bleached dead wood behind them.

this thread title is confusing to me.

I think you need to add one more "pics" to the title and then it would be clear this thread would include pics

a few nice pics there

**StuartD** · 05-07-2009, 05:24 PM

Well, you've got the locations right, but you're going to need a better camera, filters, lenses.... but kudos on practicing. We've all gotta start somewhere

best of luck baddog

**DeanCapture** · 05-07-2009, 06:08 PM

Great stuff Baddog. if you really want to take this to a higher level, consider learning some post processing techniques. I can recommend a few good educational DVDs that you can buy that will teach you how to take pics that look like that and make them masterpieces. Hit me up if you want more info!!!

**stonehammer** · 05-07-2009, 06:12 PM

i like the 1 where your shooting down and you can see the waves crashing against the rocks

**Billionaire** · 05-07-2009, 06:13 PM

Get a helicopter pansy

**MandyBlake** · 05-07-2009, 06:17 PM

very pretty pictures!

**Peter Romero** · 05-07-2009, 06:30 PM

For lanscapes put the cam on a tripod, then push the F-Stop as far as it will go to 22 if you can, then drag the shutter. It will smooth out the waves too and make em look like silk. Don't even bother hand held for landscapes. Trust me, I have one of the steadiest hands on stills and video and anything less than 1/60th of a second without a flash and it will lose detail because of blurr.

Love the orange flower shot BTW.

**Miguel T** · 05-07-2009, 06:34 PM

Wow, really nice senery.

I like taking those the best. I like walking to the edge of the cliff to get it.

I was about to say the same thing... the pics look nice right now, but they don't really jump out at me like some of the wallpapers on InterFaceLift... if you can get these to look like that, then you've really got something... good luck

For instance:

**AAB** · 05-07-2009, 09:59 PM

Pick a sunny day instead of a cloudy/foggy one and the pics get instant spark. And don't shoot through the windshield unless you have a polarizer

**bbm** · 05-07-2009, 10:33 PM

Nice pics

**2012** · 05-07-2009, 10:43 PM

**Roby** · 05-08-2009, 03:15 AM

**voa** · 05-08-2009, 03:31 AM

That look so good man, where is this

**Sarah_Jayne** · 05-08-2009, 04:48 AM

Nice practice pics. I have been going out with my digital camera lately and taking similar type of shots but I am having a hard time setting any good depth of field with its settings and it isn't a bad camera.

I love that shot and would love to learn how to do things like that. I feel I have an eye but not the skills yet and not sure where to start to learn more.

**fris** · 05-08-2009, 04:52 AM

going to need a better camera if you are going to be published

**CIVMatt** · 05-08-2009, 04:53 AM

Thanks for sharing the pictures, I always like seeing non-nude stuff here now and then, we really have a good crop of photographers with a natural interest in photography

**Vicious_B** · 05-08-2009, 05:07 AM

I really like this one.

Beautiful pics.Good luck!

**tony286** · 05-08-2009, 08:22 AM

you have the eye no doubt.Some nice pics. I would get a polarizer filter. It will help the ones where the colors are a little murky.

**romeo22** · 05-08-2009, 08:27 AM

Cool shots ....keep prictice and post them here

**baddog** · 05-08-2009, 11:52 AM

Can we start slowly and practice with Kayden, then work my way up to flowers and sunsets?

**Chosen** · 05-08-2009, 12:05 PM

**Socks** · 05-08-2009, 10:52 PM

Just make sure you keep looking through the viewfinder and never directly into the lens.
