	I started messing around with DSLRs toward the end of last year. Till then I had never picked up a still camera. I had played around, a little, with video, though. Anyway, I got a D3000 for the holidays and have been posting in the SW forum. I picked out my favorites and hope to get some opinions. I have never used any post until I started cropping a few sets ago (2,9,12,13). So give me you hardest I'm not fragile. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

	I would have given you a review if you had not posted so many photos at once. http://pridian.net I'm not here to break it, just to see how far it bends.

	#4 is spectacular, the rest are kinda meh. Like mentioned before, less posted will yield better results next time. [last edit 3/26/2010 3:12 PM by Protios - edited 1 times] To get where you're going Remember where you've been

	I need a general review of what I'm doing wrong and right. If you wanna focus on a single picture that is great also. But I've turned these in to show what I've done and ask what I need to do to better to improve my skills. If this is not the place then I'll move them elsewhere and ask for feed back, there.

	On a technical level, I don't really see much wrong with them, they're all pretty crisp, in focus etc... Some of them might be a tad under exposed but that's a matter of opinion I suppose. I would suggest reading some articles online or grab some books on composition because quite a few of these are "boring" compositionally. Other than that, just keep shooting and like previously mentioned, only post a few photos at a time. To get where you're going Remember where you've been

	I'm a beginner as well so take my comments with a grain of salt. . . 5 is really awesome. I might have used the rule of thirds there though. I'd have to see the surrounding landscape. 10 is great, having the backlighting really brings out details and textures. I used to do a lot of shots like 8: lots of little lights. It seemed logical that I'd be able to control create an even spread of lighting better. Instead I ended up feeling like every shot looked flat. Now I go with one big light; I get deep shadows and lots of unexposed black zones. I still like the effect better for the details preserved though. I'm sure there is a happy medium between the two techniques though. In six I think it would be cool to have the camera lower to the ground and the shot tried with a vertical orientation. I'd be trying to maximize the imposing effect the castle has on the figure. I really mess with the image settings for shots with a lot of desert in them. Otherwise the landscape just seems so flat. Try bracketing with extreme values for hue, saturation, and contrast. I got a D3000 about a month ago. We'll have to mess around with them in April.

	Quite a few photos, damn. Overall I don't feel as though there's anything really interesting about them. Your composition needs work, but otherwise it looks like you're doing of technically. It's all foreign to me.

	Really appreciate the feedback. Composition. Seems the be the biggest problem. Thanks for the comments guys.

	I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the technical aspect, but I REALLY like three and four. Sorry that I can't add much to help you improve, I just felt compelled to let you know.

	1, 8, 10. I like caves and tunnels, and they're good photos. As long as you can find interesting places/things to photograph (like those caves/mines/what ever) then I think you will do well. "Is that the entrance to the drain?" "Yeah" "It's right behind the police station." "Oh. Maybe we should go to a different one..."
