That's a lovely, gentle shot.
Must have been tricky to get, deer are so skittish.

I was very fortunate. I was in the garden, waiting for the long tailed tits when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. No time to change the settings - just shoot and hope for the best! Managed nine before she ran.

Well there's no great skill involved . Just press a button .

You'd think. But there is. My own experiences have told me that. It is quite impressive those that can take good photos.

I like to think so. This is a general photo I took while on a day trip to England on Monday:- http://i58.tinypic.com/2s6lrtf.jpg
and this is one of my favourite photos taken in the garden:- http://i58.tinypic.com/2wf5jrl.jpg
I suppose in a way their fairly basic and not difficult to photograph but I just love the colours. I have loads of photos of the large snowfall we had in late November 2010 and other things.

This is nice too:- http://i61.tinypic.com/1dyirk.jpg
My parents think I have quite an eye for photography but im not finding great examples...hmm...this one is kind of interesting - http://i61.tinypic.com/r8eez6.jpg
Guess ill leave it there.

I used to be in a photography class and used my dad's Nikon DX40 which I got some great shots with.

They're on my deviantart here http://julei.deviantart.com/

A photography class is a good idea. Two years ago I bought an expensive digital SLR on the spur of the moment but I hardly ever use it as it's so complicated.

I'm not a good photographer, but I enjoy snapping photos nonetheless.

[Deleted User] · 19/04/14 - 21:46

I'm quite terrible at taking photos actually.

Are you the pretty guy wearing the hat by any chance OP?

Thanks

I try to frame some of my photos where possible.

I may have posted this one before, I still like it as it was a real pain to get the little beggar to stay still for 0.0005 seconds!

too much sharpening, look at that grain in the bokeh

don't so much mind the filled in blacks but would have liked a bit more detail there

however the bleached out whites are not nice

The camera was on automatic setting, it looks worse as i cropped the picture to make it look closer hence the grainy noise.

it`s not as complicated as you think, you can easily learn the basic manoeuvres in an hour, the rest is your eye and your luck.

i LOVE the squirrel too.

edit: the child in a swing shot is FAB.

You might need some good photo imaging software to spice your photos up a bit or if you want to improve them and you don't even have to pay treble figures either.
GIMP (that's what it's called, honest) is a good free app.
