New to Photography

[brandwood]

Hi all, I am completely new to photography, and I am completely open to your feedback. I understand I don't know even a percentage of what most of you know regarding photography. However, I find photography very therapeutic. I don't think I will ever be able to make money from my work, but as long as I enjoy my hobby, who cares

Anyway, most of these images were taken in my garden... I know it is kind of illegal in the photography world, but as a taster I wanted to try my garden.

Would you critique my images, and tell me how I could improve?

Kind Regards,
Josh

Nothing illegal about taking pictures anywhere! I think it's a great start to your photography and I would just say to keep it up. Continue looking for what interests you, and then capture it!

One thing is you might want to work on your focus point (eg. Door knob), the actual knob seems soft. Keep up the good work.

I like number 2. Made me look at it longer than I usually would have.

Nothing wrong with garden shots to help you practice DOF and all that stuff!

Maybe some post-processing would be nice to bring details out, shadow, etc etc

Work on focus and exposure. Floral pictures should be bright and happy not dark an dingy. Unless that's what you wanted. Good subjects though

1. Welcome!
2. You write too small.
3. Too many photos for detailed critique, so I'll do the first two or three.

#1 I see positive and negative, which is good, but they could be lined up better IMO. Besides; the presumed verticals are not vertical. Straighten it and it will help.

#2 I almost always appreciate architectural detail studies, but here the subject outpaces the DOF, so loses impact. And I don't get the tilted frame.

#3 The subject is underexposed. Use care when metering especially when the background is substantially brighter or darker.
