Well if those are current photos, all i have to say is, I want spring!!

They are good, you capture the shadows and highlights very well.

They are very nice landscape photos. If you are just starting out i would recommend trying lots of different types of photography, and picking what you like best, animals, landscape, people, street photography, just some examples, but you get the idea.

For some reason I like the pic of the Uni sign. You did a great job of bring it in focus and blurring the back ground.


p.s. I am also an ex-employee of Comp, but my store closed long before the others. :p

you may want to try posting them in this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=427675) you will get some great feedback from some very good photographers.

Good work for someone who is just starting out. Care to share what kind of equipment you were using. One of these days I am going to get a good DSLR.

Very nice.

IMO procrastinate needs a little more use of depth of field to make the front branch pop. The background branches need to be a little softer.

here is the fun part. i am using a 7.1 MP fuji finepix s700. $200 point and shoot. there is not too much to the camera.
