Beginner, Need advice

[JayJay65]

Hi, I finally figured out how to post! Yey! (my first post)

Okay, heres the deal.. I have a pretty fun digital camera - Olympus FE-190.. I LOVE taking pictures, mostly of nature.. Still lifes, but I can take some pretty nice animal pictures..
Im new at picture taking (only a year of experience), but I LOVE learning how to improve.. Whenever there is a chance to improve on something I love doing, im always ready and willing..

Can someone help me figure out how to post some of my pictures so I can get feedback?


Thanks!
Jess

Okay, I did it.. How do I delete my posts? (sorry for being so pathetic)

Can't really delete - only mod can do that.
You can edit the text or picture.

Re; This picture.
When you are this close you need a large depth of field so that a good part of the plant will be in focus. You need a smaller aperture (f stop of 8 or 11). Start reading the manual so you will understand how to make this happen.

Good luck.
Keep posting.
