Thanks for the feedback!

Totally agree about the sharpness thing. I often miss shots I want because of that. I think I need to learn to relax, take my time, and also to use my tripod more!

Also agree about the bottle orientation. The picture shown is basically how it came out of the camera. If I were going back to it I think I would definately crop it as portrait.

Actually, I agree with everything said here, except of course I like the christmas tree one! It was my first attempt at deliberate zoom effect and I was pleased it came out like I was expecting.

Thanks for the feedback

I agree about the first one, but I was constrained by my brother hating having his picture taken, and refusing unless I promised to partially crop his face like that. Would have been nice if the baby's face was visible, but at 3 days old, I was taking any shot I could get

Second is a shadow falling over a grave stone. I liked the poor focus and heavy grain - kind of gave it an old zombie film feel for me - well that was the thinking anyway!

Third I really like, I just wish I had used a tripod so it would have been a bit sharper. I was experimenting with not carrying around all the kit, and having just the camera and the 18-55 lens.

The last one I also really like. Possibly the large amount of flare improves it in my eyes. I think this might be because it adds to the sense of panic, which was very real. The incoming wave was unexpected and large. About a second after taking the shot I was standing in the sea halfway up to my knees!

The A50 macro is now sold, and I received it in the post this morning (Many thanks Geoff). I'm visiting some botanical gardens over the weekend, so I'm quite excited about the possibilities

Hi everyone. I am a new member, and there were so many welcoming responses on my intro thread, I have been persuaded to post a few pics to see what people think. I have posted a few threads here just to seperate things out a bit by subject. I hope that is ok.
















Thanks for looking!

Thank you everyone for your welcoming comments.

I was going to put up a couple of my photos on this site for people to see, but in going through them I couldn't really narrow it down enough, so instead I dug up my old Flickr account and deleted all the old content to make way for just images from my K-x.

They are far from perfect, and some of them have some very obvious defects, but overall it shows what I've been getting up to since buying my camera last year.

Link to the photostream added to my sig if anyone is interested

Hi Geoff. I am still interested.

Unfortunately the site won't let me reply to the post you put on my profile (30 day rule thing again). Not sure if you sent me a PM would I be able to reply to it?

Cheers,
Tim
