Finding My Feet

Hi There!

Around a year ago I purchased a K100d from this forum and have finally decided it is time to throw some of my pictures out there for discussion by people who can help! I have reached a stage where I really want to improve, learn and stretch myself. I don’t have Photoshop as of yet so all my pictures haven’t had much, if any work done on them and I have selected a few from over the last year that I hope will provoke some discussion, I am afraid they are some what of a motley set of images Thanks in advance for your time!

I love the mono shot of the wedding party and Canada Life Tower. The Queen's House shot illustrates how important it is to have some access to post processing: it needs straightening. As doe s the last one which needs cropping (in my opinion).

There's no need to buy Photoshop there are processing packages available to down-load free, such as GIMP or Photoplus.

At the very least, you need to use levels and carry out some sharpening. I've a K100D and I find I have to process every shot to get the best from it.

Best of luck: you've a great camera to play with!
Best wishes,

Andrew
