Hey guys. Really enjoyed the feedback on my snow stuff. While I am far from getting amazing shots. I thought I might post a few more and see what you guys think.

As before, these where taken on my first digital, just a 3.2 MP with very little control. Please keep that in mind when commenting. Plus there photos are uneditied, as I only just intalled Paint Shop Pro, and ahev NO idea how to use it yet. The count down to tax return for my d70 is on :!: :D

This is my girlfriends daughter, one of my great friends.... :lol:

Down the NSW coastal area....

This is what happened when she didn't get ice-cream....."I'm taking my stuff and I out of here!!". Man she can have some attitude sometimes :evil:

Trying to grab some bubbles at Kindy while incorporating her ballet lessons...

There is a "tiger" hidden in those baloons!!




Let me know what you think. I'm sure some editing would be in order in the end. I posted these as they seems like great little moments in time, that make me feel happy. That is what it's all about to me. I think the top two are the better composition. Let me know what you think....

Cheers...... :D :D :D

....she certainly has some attitude. She can cut you down like the best of them some times. But she is a great person. Looking forward to seeing her grow up, should be filled with plenty of happiness and frustration :D

Good lord somehow I lost my post and now I'm starting all over again. Here's a quick summary, sorry.

Remind yourself to not cut off feet. This is difficult and even pros sometimes forget.

She has an adorable face but I'm not really getting a very good look at it. With the balloons a fun shot would be to frame only her smily face with the balloons.

Very important guideline when taking photos of kids and animals. Always try and kneel down to their level. They will react well to this, and the photos are generally more compelling. Always do this until you have a good reason for the adult perspective.

They don't need a lot of post processing, mostly a little curves and levels and maybe cropping, just basic stuff. Well exposed, and great subject matter. Thanks for posting.

Dooda pretty much covered it but i will add that a nice tight crop is always good to use in order to get rid of the unecessary background things such as the wall in the balloon pic and the other kid on the right in the ballet/bubble pic. Keep in your mind what the subject is when you take the photo and try to maximise the area of the image your subject is using.

The water in the river pic looks quite inviting. I wish our local rivers were that clear.

Thanks

Thanks guys. Not a serious effort on these photos, as I like way 'raw' way that they came out in the end. I do still like the top two best. Wish I had get the feet in too, oh well.

Nice memories, pictures that make me "feel" something. That is an important part of photography for me.

Thanks for all the imput. I'll take note of each point laid out.

Cheers.... :D
