I could use some help and feedback!

I am 13, and I'm a beginner in photography. I have only uploaded a couple recent photos to my Flickr account, and I would really appreciate your comments on them. I've heard that I need to work on perspective.

What type of camera do you have?
I'm not sure what all you know about the settings to make a better picture, but http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-beginners-forum-photo-gallery/167288-camera-terms-acronyms-dummies.html Read up.

Also, do you edit any of your photos? Do you have photoshop?

For your age your doing good, from my point of view you got a good eye for photography. Just keep on practicing and reading lots of books, get to know Exposure, composition, lighting, some of the essential things a photographer should know. I cannot comment on your photos because there is too many, if you want specific c&c i suggest posting up a few photos at a time.

Over all your shots look very nice. with a T2i you should be able to work the controls and whatever soft ware you have should give you good results. Keep shooting and reading you should go far.

For a 13 year old your at a pretty damn good start. Just keep learning as much as you can, btw here is a humorous graph of the life cycle of a photographer, which you will most likely go through .

I had a look at your flickr account and I would agree with the others here that you are off to a good start. If you are really interested in photography, then follow your dreams, study your craft, find a mentor, find some established photographers and see what you like about their work and what you don't like. Read up on composition - have a look at this site and see what they have to say...Digital Photography Tips and Tutorials , but don't let it overwhelm you. The fact that you have an active Flickr account and were willing to post here looking for comments says a lot about your determination - keep shooting and keep reading - above all practice, practice, practice and experiment, experiment, experiment - don't expect to like everything you shoot and most of all, don't expect everyone to like everything you shoot - everyones tastes are different. I am a serious amateur myself and I have been taking pictures for many, many years and find that I just shoot for my own satisfaction - if I like it, that's all that counts for me, but then I am an amateur and only have to please myself, but, you know what I find...that in pleasing myself, I am also able to please others from time to time and that really is great.

Do you have a photography club at your school? If so, you might want to think about joining it, or even if there is a local photography club that encourages young people to develop their skills in the subject - go to a meeting and find out. Keep up the good work...

Cheers,

WesternGuy

You have some nice photos in your stream. Keep working at it. Maybe pick a couple for focussed critique and post them here.

I edit most of my photos, but I usually don't do much beyond adjusting exposure/contrast. I have a Canon Rebel T2i, and I use Photoshop Elements 8.0.

 

[L0vemedead]

Well, your photos on your flicker account are pretty good for just starting out.

Good god, you have a nicer camera than I do and I've been at this for awhile
Keep shooting

Life just isn't fair.

As had been said, for 13 and just beginning you are doing good. Don't just work on perspective. Read up on the rules of thirds, exposure, lighting techniques, and anything else you can get your hands on. There is a wealth of knowledge on the interwebs and on this forum. Search on youtube for Adorama's How'd they do that, and photography 101. Your at the perfect age for your brain to be a sponge to all the information, and you already have a decent eye.

wow for 13, your doing a great job.. i agree with all the comments above...

since you are a student you can get adobe products 80% off. photoshop for 200$ lightroom for 88$ etc. might be a good birthday or xmas present! ps and lr and not required, just nice to have when you are wanting to do little tweaks!
