Just Started Photography... Thoughts? Ideas? Tips?

[YazzyM]

Hi, I recently took up photography, and is interested in feedback? Thanks in advance

you can work on simplifying your compositions so there are less distractions and more visual impact on your subject. I have been looking at this website http://www.gracenotephotography.com and they have some good work worth gleaning from

Please number your photos so we can easily refer to them. Improve exposure and composition. I assume you wanted the walking stick in-focus, but it isn't. The selective colouring in #3 is gimmicky in most situations, by most standards.

Keep working at it. It's fun!

I would suggest that you need to work on aspects of your composition - something we all had to work at when we started out and some of us still do - work at our composition that is. I would encourage you to surf the web, butyou could start with - Advanced Composition -- Part I - there are two following web siteswith the links at the end of the site. As well, have a look at this one - PhotographyComposition Articles Library as there are a number of links to sites on composition. There are anumber of books that have been written on composition - you might want to lookat one by Bryan Peterson called Learning to See Creatively - Amazon.com: Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color& Composition in Photography (Updated Edition) (9780817441814): BryanPeterson: Books. Thereare lots of others. If you google "photography composition", you will get more hits than you could read in a lifetime.

I would also restate what Jaemie has suggested - number your images so that a reviewer can refer to them more easily and leave some more space between them if you can. Keep at it, it is well worth it.
