Hi Everyone,
I am revisiting photography and let me tell you, it's like starting from scratch all over again. I am working with computer editing programs for the first time so it's a bit hit and miss at the moment. Thought I would share a couple of my first shots to start off with. And so here is our day on the farm yesterday...


It took a bit of work getting this little guy into the crush but he made it


And, finally, branding before going off to the sales


Thanks to my Dad, Craig (vtr) for the tips...

Hi Jenna

Welcome to DSLR users. If you want image critique please post larger versions, the ones shown are just too small, especially for my old eyes!

You also need to add a location to your profile before a Mod comes along and reprimands you (see the pink bit 'Forum rules' up above).

Enjoy your time here and if the old man can't help you out with any photography problems, there is always plenty of good advice around here from seasoned professionals.

i love hte first image I am definitely looking forward to following your journey through photography

Thanks!
I have now added my location. I was unsure how to add larger pictures but have been shown how now.

is that a little better?

Much better

I like the branding shot as a documentary image. Perhaps a tighter crop on the branding iron would also be another option to persue?

I love the horses eye!

The horse's eye is spot on.
Nothing wrong with the branding shot either... might be a little heavy on the vignette but it is providing the focus it's intended for... and it makes me cringe !!!
I might suggest making some adjustment to your watermark though as it's both distracting and illegible to my eye.

You forgot the larger version of the cow in the crush and we need to do some work on the watermark.

Welcome Jenna

I think you've nailed it with the first image - awesome

The branding shot lakcs strong focus for me. At a quick glance I don't see the smoke as smoke I just see ???? and I think a tighter crop (as already suggested) would help in that regard

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
