Requesting critiques of your photos

rbraden · Sep 22, 2008

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll take your advice and just post some stuff til my pm's get activated. Not a lot of experience, just a real interest in learning. Have been taking snapshot for years, but want to learn to take actually think and shoot like a photographer. I have a canon 300d w/ kit lense and a canon 100-300 zoom. Also a manfrotto tripop and monopod (take a lot of shots while hiking and biking) and a fuji fine-pix p&s. Am almost ready to invest in some more gear, but I hope we can get this mentoring thing going so maybe I could get some advice.
Thanks again for the quick responses

VI,

Sorry has been so long to get back to you, but was trying to "spam the forums" to get my pm activated, then had a "sort of emergency (ex-blah, blah, blah)" thing I had to deal with. Again I apologize. I still don't seem to be able to pm you. I am very interested in having you to mentor me. I really like the no-nonsense approach you take to critique. I want someone to be completely blunt with me, and tell me if I am a dumb a$$ when I am. I am back at a point where I can concentrate on this, so if you are still interested in being my mentor, I would really appreciate your help.
I am interested in more of a photojournalistic slant on everyday photography (including portraits and candids, not just news events), if that makes any sense. I have a canon 300d, a rebel xt, a 100-300 zoom, a kit lens (18-55), a 24-85 zoom, a 430exII, a manfrotto tripod, a manfrotto monopod, a really crappy 2x tele-extender, and a pretty darn good attitude.
Maybe we can communicate through this thread until I am able to send pm's.
Thanks.
