opinions on my first shots

[tsoley]

Hello there, I just got canon 70d as a gift. I just took a few shots so I wanted to share them in order to learn some stuff. I absolutely know nothing about photography, but I am interested in it. Now that I have a camera, might as well enjoy it.

They are not bad, but there is not much there to set them apart. Think outside the box when taking flower pics.

When I shoot flowers and any kind of plants I always try to completely isolate it from anything else in background, this doesn't mean its the right thing to do or only thing to do, its just the way I shoot them.

Do a search in the forum for oldhippy and look at some of what he's posted. Ed is pretty much the gold standard for flower shots.

One thing I would recommend for shooting flowers, is shoot raw. Then you can use a program such as RawTherapee, or GIMP (Which are free) to get more rich color and detail

Nice shots

off to a good start. not too bad at all. It shows that you have some understanding of some of the basics.

I've moved your post to the General Gallery. The Beginner's Forum is meant for questions on photography, the galleries for questions (or comments & critique) about your images.
