New here with a few sample pictures

[ferguson911]

Hi there, I've been taking pictures for many years now with small cameras just for fun, and recently received a gift.........a Panasonic Lumix FZ-35 camera, ever since i've been taking pictures and confirmed this new passion.

I've taken pictures on high Jpeg 12MP, but now i'm trying to figue out how to use raw for the better quality.

here are a few samples of my work, i have uploaded them to my facebook so there may be a slight quality loss.

All constructive criticism is HIGHLY appreciated! thank you

to have acces to all my photos

I think photos 1 and 2 are interesting, but 3 and 4 don't do anything for me, visually. Where is #1 taken?

Number 1 was taken in Percé, Quebec, Canada a wonderful place, on a foggy morning

I love the colors and textures you brought out. I think your focus on details is really going to help you get some beautiful pictures!

thanks you for the comments, I love bringing color and intensity to rather boring shots, I try and see the final processed item when i take a picture.

^ The lighthouse in that 2nd set is a nice composition. I like how the shoreline of rocks leads your eye up to the lighthouse. The water is beautiful and super-blue. I'd take the time to clone out the power line at the top left as well as the pole. I'd maybe take a tiny bit off the bottom.. But honestly I think you should print this and hang it on the wall.

That picture definitely stands out among the others from the 2nd set - and the pictures from the first post as well.

I don't think the lighthouse picture is very interesting, but it is a good composition for two reasons. You used the rocks in the foreground to give depth to the photo, and the shoreline acts as a leading line toward the lighthouse. Good work. I love to see good composition even if the subject is not engaging.

Personally, I like the lightbulb picture because of the tones and the texture on the wall. And of course the very first picture is a winner as well.
