My First Attempt....

[mom2three]

These are a few pictures of my first attempt at the camera today. Be gentle.... C&C welcome! I'm still very, very new and learning!

Be gentle....

Do you want "gentle" or actual/honest C&C (positive or otherwise)?

 

[mom2three]

LOL These are literally my first pics I'm posting and I haven't done any editing on them. I'm still really new to the DSLR world, and have been reading a lot, but most photo terms I am not familiar with. Any C&C is fine! I need the advice and tips on what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it! Thanks Ph0enix!

These are all technically okay. Level horizons, sharp focus, ample depth of field, good exposure. Now, start studying composition. I recommend Michael Freeman's "The Photographer's Eye" or "The Photographer's Mind" (I am currently reading this and it is quite good).

I read this article and I love this quote from it....

Get down on their level - You’ve got young children so unless they’re very unusual they’ll be half your height.

I'd like to see those "unusual" kids.
