Complete newbie, First photos ever

[mikenl]

I'd like to say hi to everyone here on the forum, I have no idea what I am doing to be honest, I have just been walking around the outside of my house armed with my photography for dummies book and a tripod and taking pictures of things that looked interesting.

These pictures are most likely horrible but i have to start somewhere, looking for as much criticism and advise as you guys (and girls) can dish out.

BTW, I'm in an airport on my way to an exotic island (Newfoundland ), so if the pictures don't upload right away then they will be here tomorrow.

Sorry for the links but I wasn't sure how else to upload and my flight is soon leaving.
