My first ever outting/picture post !!! >_<

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Umm...my first time posting pics...**trembles**

These ones are from the Botanical Gardens in Adelaide....
I was using a borrowed Canon 10D at the time but i will have my own D70 very soon!! (YAY!!)
Some may be out of focus, or some a tad crooked but ill try and learn from my mistakes and hopefully not get into any bad habbits :)

Oh and i noticed after reading the posting rules that Stubbsy mentioned a few hosting sites...well if you like you could use http://www.photobucket.com/ its free!! :D

Botanical-6 (You cant really see it but the "carvings" in the bamboo looked quite good)

Botanical-7

Well those are just some of the pictures i took on my first ever outting...
It was quite enjoyable until i almost tripped (literally) over this little bugga... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ ... 544460.jpg

Comments and critisism is more than encouraged....

Good first outing & image post.

I really like the classic composition of #2, although I'd rotate it slightly anti clockwise to straighten the horizon (I'm a straight horizon sorta guy!)

There's also something about the last shot that appeals. Can't wait to see what happens when you use a real camera :wink:

As above - great start. My favourites are 3 and 4. The bamboo image has some potential with better lighting and a bit of Photoshop work afterwards. Well done!

Well done - a good first posting. I particularly like the composition of the last one. :D
