Yet another newbie

tpe · Nov 18, 2005

Just to say hi, and introduce my self.
I work in game production so no stranger to photoshop, but have something against manipulating photos for some reason.

Last week i got a digital camera and last night had a chance to try it out.
Here are a few of the results, any criticisms would be more than apreciated as i havn't really tryed posting my own photos and the only critique has been from the parents in-law and ol granny, so any comments would be very interesting.

Oh and just in case here are a couple of facked (cg only where photoshop manipulation isnt so much of a cheat) ones from work

Hi there and Welcome!

Nice pics. I especially like the one with the nuclear rod and the one closeup with the markings and the hex bolts.

Yeah I know it's not a nuclear rod, but hey!

Many thanks for the warm welcome, already go loads of great info from spending too much time brousing the forums and so many fantastic photos but frightningly time consuming :thumbup: (but dont tell the boss). I especially like that there are so many different styles, it makes it an eye opener providing so many ideas when it comes to deciding what to take a picture of next. It also make it a bit daunting trying to come up with ideas that will live up to the high standards though. Catching a live shot, someone looking round at the right moment or the hummingbird wingbeat and still exposing it right looks to be the hardist to me so far. Looking forward to learning a great deal and hope to make some kind of contribution where i can.

Hi Tim and welcome to ThePhotoForum.
By your first photo contributions it looks like you already fit in well, and I can't see anything in your pictures that would need to make you self-conscious about them! Wonderful close-ups, I really like them, though I do not quite understand what it is I am seeing in them. But never mind. They speak another language, that of abstract graphics and that of colour! Great.
