Your first ever photo and present day

shents · Dec 20, 2012

Hey pro's, amateurs I thought I would post a thread for you to post your first pictures and present day ones , to compare and inspire and give us newbs something to aim for, aspire to

Also what can I learn from most? any help , tips on my first attempt , would be great ... Shents

All my first pics were taken with a sony cyber shot crap i know! I LIKED THESE YOU MAAAY NOT ha, The reason for buying a nikon d5100 is so
I dont miss out on great shots on my travel's

looking at them I see I missed bits, cut bits off didn't really think

I guess these would class as my first attempt? I shall also post my first pics with the nikon when I get it

ANY FEEDBACK ON THESE WOULD BE GREAT THINGS TO CONSIDER IN FUTURE?????????

Hey Shents; nice idea.... i am posting one among the oldest images i have taken, at least 20 years back, when i was using a very ordinary autofocus film camera of Rs: 450/= (nearly five dollar)
I cannot locate the date exactly because it is a lost and recovered image using recovery software. Seeing this image, you will think"O, twenty years are wasted; he now stands where he had begun" :lol:

Thank you for this thread

I thought this would be a large thread. Maybe the holidays slowed it all down.

Nice idea. This shows a three year improvement in my skill (or I hope it is an improvement).

Oh lordy, I don't think you want to see some of my early stuff. It is scary. I would slap on some actions, crank up the saturation, and I thought my pictures looked damn good!

AgentDrex · Dec 21, 2012

Come on, that's what we want to show...how horrible we were and how not as horrible we are now

We all started somewhere, and I am sure all of us have some doozies!

I don't think I have any of the real early stuff. I might have something out of the 80s; I'll have to look around.

The shot of my son and some very tall fir trees was made in 2012, using an iPhone 4...sort of the box camera equivalent of the 21st century.

Here is an image I made with my very first camera!! A plastic box camera that used 620 rollfilm. This is from 1974,and shows my brother crossing a small stream using a fence as a "bridge" of sorts.
