well - first bit of advice is that if you want advice from people on your shots, keep the number down to 2-3 if possible. I'm afraid it takes me a good 10 minutes per shot to write anything that could be helpful, and much as I'd love to help, I don't really have a spare 3 hours to critique that many shots.

Overall, it looks like you've enjoyed getting out and using your camera. Stick with doing that for a while, until using the controls etc becomes second nature. Meanwhile, when you're taking shots, try and get into the habit of asking "what am I really taking a picture of here" and "is there anything in the frame that will distract people from what I am taking a picture of". I'm sure someone on here could recommend a book on composition and so forth - it's over 30 years ago that I had the basics drummed into me, so anything I could recommend is probably out of print :lol:

You've got the important bit though - you're enjoying taking pictures -if you cam keep hold of that, the next bits will come with practice or study :)
 
its not in this manual. not even in the index
