My first try at Digital

Hey guys,

These are the first digital shots from my new D70s. I have been a black & white photographer for 3 years and using this camera has been amazing BUT confusing! This is also one of very few attempts at close up shots using depth of field to my advantage. I find it as enjoyable as landscape (my strength) so i would love to get advice on things like composition etc.

I am up for every single bit of critisicsm you can give me, and any good points too!

Thanks and enjoy (hopefully!)

8.



Not happy with 6, 7 and 8...:er:

 

Dude these shots are wicked...Once u're familiar with photography it doesn't matter if it's digital or vintage.(Excuse me I meant flim...fm....err...film that is.)

 

I agree with you on 6-8 but the others are good.

 

Thanks mate! I have a lot to learn about digital because it seems to be much more complex than vintage (i call it that too, sounds better ) although there are many similarities.

Cheers

 

1 and 5 are greeeaaatt!! They all look really cool though

 

Thanks nitefly. There's nothing better than using the dog for experimenting with DOF because its a moving object which you can order around to wherever is needed. Although my dog is as dis-obedient (someone correct my on that spelling) as possible!

I really want to get a bigger lense now, does anyone know the best place, or website in the UK to hire lenses?

 

nice shots !!! i like your dog

 

i must be really strange, cause i like #6 the most -

 

hey thanks, i think 6, 7, 8 are kind of there.....but i have problems with composition, and i haven't focused on the daffodils well either! tbh my garden isn't the most attractive of backgrounds so it leaves me to use things like flowers in the foreground.


Thanks again

 

I like that one too, however it seems that the only daffodil in focus is at the back and hidden by other daffodils.. Excellent idea though

Maybe we are both strange..

 

Number 5 is cute
