Welcome to the forum :)

For someone new to photography, these are all pretty damn good (y)

Some great technique too, especially the panning on the first one...
 
Thanks. Yeah I had to be quick with those shots as I was only at around 40-55mm (dont have a decent lens for motorsport yet)
 
Hi PESolution
welcome to TP

#1 is brilliant
#2 is possibly the weakest shot here for me, but i think i can see what you tried to do.
#3 i want to be my front room, the lighting is superb.
#4 not bad, not good, probably just not for me.
#5 & #6 very very nice, maybe a slightly longer exposure to get a tiny bit more forground light, but i'm not a landscape photographer so check with them.

on the whole a very promising first batch, i look forward to seeing more of your photos.
 
thanks for the comments so far guys :) No shots have been taken with a tripod (with number 3 / 4 resting on a sunbed / ledge)
 
i'd have to say number too is the worst one out the lot and if thats the worst shot hell i'd want to be doing bad shots all day... but number 3 for me all the way it's the kind of shot i dream about taking it's beautiful. i'd have number 3 put on canvas and have it hanging in my front room

Job very well done.
 
Hey hey! :wave:
Stunningly lurvely set! No3 really stands out for me with its perfect exposure of the water. It looks such a lovely place!

The daffy doesnt do much for me - would be cool to see a thirds crop of it so you get the bank on the right as a third then two thirds sky to the left?

Also - you may wanna bring your pics down to 800 pix on their longest side as per ze rules. This is a stunning set that should be viewed as one and not have its links made to text!

Awesome start and welcome!
 
thank smooth ill edit away when i get the chance, didnt notice the 800x rules sorry
 
very well done i really like all of them but #3 is my fav well done and keep up the good work very well done
 
I like them, very much.

For me, I think #5 needs straightening a tad.

Looking at these makes me wish I had kept my 18-55 VR. I took some great shots with mine but let it go when I sold my D60. Shame.
 
Some lovely shots there, but the night ones especially are crying out for HDR.

I would recommend Photo Dynamic HDR which you can download for a free (unlimited) trial, has a lot of controls, and gives excellent results.

Not IMO dude. I think the colours and light 'pops' that are already there do the shot justice. I prefer the natural look.

Each to their own though and no doubt I will stand corrected soon :LOL:

really like some of these
there is a real breadth in the type of shot that you do
#1 though, great action image, pin sharp and a great panning shot
but I would have just had some more space on the left to give the car a sense of where it's going. that's just me though.
#3...that would make a perfect desktop
 
My favourite is definitely 3. I took plenty of shots like #2 when I first started dabbling in photography, so I understand why people are dismissive of it, but I think it works - maybe a bit less of an angle would have been better for that lying-on-the-grass feel.
 
DizMat, yeah i think you may be right with #1, Ill try and recrop it to show more infront of the car when i get the chance :)
