Just seen these. I love your photos. Mine look like a baby took them by accident, in comparison.

awsome pics mate do you this professionally??? or is this just a hobbie for you??? either way you should get yourself a job with one of the 4wd mags as a photographer....
Those pictures are amazing, just like your previous lot. I look at my camera and want to hurl it into the wall after seeing those. My last pics look like a 2 year old took them. Is it just a hobby for you or do you do it for a crust? Either way, we are all impressed. Keem them coming.
Thanks again for the kind replies, i do only take photos just for fun, i can go weeks without taking a single pic, often choosing to fourby rather than photograph, if we stop somewhere or see something cool on our holiday travels ,thats normally when i might get the camera out.
Although, I did just get our family offered free island holiday accomodation, in return for photos to use in their advertising, which i guess is really kinda cool !
Ha-ha, you don't need lessons (a half decent camera does help), but you can go far with just a bit of patience while having fun with it all, and just so you know, ive only had my own camera (of any description) since Jan 2010, ive never had a lesson or been shown anything by anyone, so don't think you cant get out and take pic's.Quote:

I've seen 04OFF in action taking photos a couple of times now.
Very thoughtful in relation to composition and lighting, and understands the capabilities of his clever camera in manual mode.
Nice work.
wow, great pictures, so there really is more to a digital camera than just point and shoot..

After a while you will "see" a good picture composition in you head (or see why it wont be good) before you even get the camera out of the bag.
You don't need a expensive camera to learn how to compose a good pic, in fact you dont "need" a DSLR at all to take great pics, but having interchangeable lenses makes a DSLR more versitile than the average point and shoot, and gives you more control to capture the image you can see with your eyes, or in your head (and sometimes you can capture things you can't see).
Once you've got a grasp on composition, you can play around with camera settings and learn how to get the camera to see what you want it to capture
These pic's (Jetty Hut, Kingfisher Bay) taken with my custom settings (manual mode), using a tripod, a wide angle lens and a long exposure, produce a image with colour on the horizon much more vivid than i could see with the naked eye at the time.......

Don't they make you wish you were sitting there right now for a quiet beer ^ :049:
DSLRs are cheap now, but your "glass" (the lenses) can get very expensive, and the more variety of shots you want to take, the more glass you may find you need, i have spent more than my camera cost on lenses and still don't have every thing i want :(
Most important of all is to have fun playing around, if you don't enjoy it, i doubt its ever going to work for ya !
You MUST come to Fraser and show me how to take these sort of pics. I have just bought a Pentax Kr and a couple of lenses - but I really don't know much about taking a good photo. I guess these days quantity is the way to go. If you take a couple of thousand shots - then even if you know nothing about photography - at least ONE of them should be OK.
Would love to come up, stay and play photoghraphy, not sure the funds are going to allow me to at this stage :(
Quantity will get "a" quality shot now and then, but you could just as easy end up with a 1000 garbagerus shots destined for the recycle bin, practice is good, but if you dont try and learn "why" a pic is good or bad, you will soon get sick of taking 100s of shots, then just deleting them all on the PC, all the time not knowing how get a good/better one.
I was thinking of doing a TAFE course. I have heard that some of them are good. It will most likely be next year now though - I have a lot to do during the last few weeks of this year!!Quote:

After a couple of beers with dinner, i couldn't take the car out for my usual Patrol night shots, so i grabbed the camera and a torch, and found my own way to have a "patrol" on the beach :thumbup:
got this on my second attempt.........

For those who would like to learn a little more about photography there are some great sites about. I have worked professionally as a photographer and it is most certainly true that you do not need to have an expensive camera to take good shots. Here is a site I am a member of that has a large array of information, a great forum and there are no shortage people to help or answer questions that you may have. www.ephotozine.com
