Hello everyone! I believe I have recently developed a passion for photography.

Here is some of my work-- I am still trying to find my own style so any helpful critique is greatly appreciated.

And of course some 1st time fireworks photos

love the birds! norcal is a beautiful place. the borders complement the pics nicely. though i think the highlights on the birds wings are a little to brite, my own personal oppinion. i have taken some nice pics from the bay area, very senic.

I dig the first fireworks shot and the bridge scene that long exposure was workin for ya.

Aramator- Thanks, I love living in this area; it never ceases to amaze me. I agree with you on the bird's wings the brightness/contrast in PS didn't work well for this picture. The lighting was not the best that day and compromised a picture which I like a lot.

Rob- Thank you. I love working with the tripod; the GGB shot was my first time with a tripod and if you look closely you can see that it moved. :X

really great work

how long have you been photographing and what camera(s) do you use and do you retouch or are they all natural

 

[lia.j.wu]

Thank you :]

The first two had slight contrast adjustments, but the fireworks shots are pure.

I work with a Nikon D80 with kit lens and a Sigma 70-300 telephoto zoom.

Ahh...sweet Norcal. How do you like Texas anyway? I actually was looking at Rice University as one of my potential college picks.

tkaat- I forgot to answer the how long question. I have been working with the dslr for about 3 months now?
