 |  | Point and Shoot at night
< on 1/6/2010 8:02 AM >
|  | | | I just found out that I can adjust my shutter speed on my old Samsung 4 megapixel point and shoot. I messed around some with it tonight, took a few pictures, and here was my favorite. I am very new to photography so please let me know what I can improve on.

| | | | Ok, I'll start this off...
There are a whole host of posts on this forum regarding photographic advice and instruction (as well as many generic primers online, found using google) and I don't care to reiterate all of it, however I will point out a few basic things. This is meant to be very basic and just a simple starting point, since you say you are very new to photography.
Take care in framing the photo. I can't really tell what the subject is here. Is it the window, the wall, the concrete shelf...? If it is the window, do you really want the ground or the intersecting wall (on left) in the photo? Probably not, but that too depends on perspective. Photography is extremely subjective, but not entirely subjective. Basic rules still apply.
You might consider tightening the shot on the window and wall on the right (including the shelf) using the rule of thirds. That would be a good start. If you mess up when taking the photo, you can always crop after using software. Or, still tighten up but change your perspective from straight on to off to the side or something like that, focusing on the stone column and using the window as more of a background.
The colors are off presumably due to florescent or sodium lighting. This can be corrected in post processing with software by increasing the color temperature a tad.
Do you have any type of photography software? i.e. Photoshop, Elements, etc. While it is not necessary, this will help with final presentation. Regardless, you don't need to spend a lot of money to make great photos.
Search and read some of the many basic photography primers found online. They can be invaluable to a beginner. Even better, go to your local public library and check out a book on basics, and take it out with you shooting.

I agree, but if you do this....take the book somewhere LEGAL to practice? Don't wanna get arrested, have to pay bail AND a late fee.
