Donovan79 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 So a few years ago I picked up a pocket camera I really liked, the Olympus XZ-1, a nice little rig that took great shots and had some very cool effects on it. More to kill time than anything, I started taking photos from random angles of things that looked interesting, some didn't turn out too bad. This week upgraded to the Olympus PEN E-PL5, really digging it so far though it has a relatively huge lens. A few of mine from London and travels around below. If anyone here has background in photography and tips in how to compose or adjust for better photos would love to hear it. Also please do share anything you've taken that you like. image removed image removed Saddest penguin image removed image removed Link to comment

renewing Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I like the busyness/complexity that I notice in all of your photographs. I think you have a good eye. Are you a photographer professionally? London is so beautiful. Maybe try experimenting with trying to make simple things look really unique. I think that's a fun thing to try sometimes. Like a simple tree or perhaps a beach/water. Just some ideas. Link to comment
MasterPo Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I like the people pics and not to explode your ego, yes - you do have a natural talent. Good for you. Now I have probably ruined you. lol I take a few pics now and then, mostly for historical value and future audiences [this is how Dad's world was!] so I'm partial to those types of images. Read the manual. Go on-line and read the tips of the trade, especially with digital photography. Don't get carried away looking for the perfect pic, it doesn't belong to you but your audience. They will tell you what your greatest work is. Good luck. Always nice when someone opens the creative window and lets us breathe a little of it. Link to comment
nbr Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Used to be in the photo biz... Yes, you have talent. Not quite postcard shots, but most are really good. I like the peacock. Good use of contrast to highlight the texture of the feathers Link to comment
Donovan79 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hell no, no professional sense at all, just having fun. Thanks for any advice you can give, tho. I have no idea what makes a good photo other than "I like it", so would always welcome the advice of the more experienced among us. Link to comment
