First Pic Post - be Gentle!

[EOSAddict]

OK, here goes! Been a member for a month or so and am absorbing info like a sponge - love the Forum. Thought it about time I posted some pics so here goes.... a mixture of IXUS4 and 300D pics from the last year since I got both in USA last Jun.

First One is Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk, IXUS 4 1/160 f7.1 38mm equiv

Second Oneis Thorp Perrow Nr Bedale in N Yorks, EOS 300D, Kit Lens @ 55mm, ISO 100, 1/250 f11

And Two more...

First One is Ely Cathedral, EOS 300D, kit lens @55mm ISO 100 1/200 f10

Second one is USS Wisconsin, Norfolk Harbour, VA IXUS 4 1/500 f7.1 38mm equiv.

None of them has any PS processing.....

Really cool pics. I'm too new to comment on the technical aspects but I like them alot. Especially your use of reflection and composure.

The Oxburgh Hall shot is really nice except for the peak of the roof being cropped off. It would have helped to step back a bit to get it in. Even if you had to crop it at the bottom due to a shoreline, the top one should be shown.

I think Ely Cathedral could be improved by a use of the "Rule of Thirds" (Google it if you don't know about it).

The USS Wisconsin picture is wonderful. It's really overwhelming, which is what a warship should be.

Nice pics EOS! Sorry i don't have any technical feedback either, but you must be doing something right when you get such great results as these!

Thanks. Withthe IXUS it was a balance between cropping and tilting - i chose to crop - rightly or wrongly!! If I had stepped back there would have been grass at the bottom - don't forget I am stil lnew to dig so post process cropping hadn't entered my head!

I do know rule of thirds and normally use it - but thought this looked ok as is - maybe ill try some cropping to see if it helps!! Ta for feeedback.

Nice shots EOS! The reflection in #1 and #2 is beautiful. Very nice composition in #4 IMHO. :D Keep posting.

Very nice pics.
The first 2 could improve if you set the "horizon" line above or below the middle of the frame
The last 2 are awsome..specially the ship.
Show us more !!

Having been around a few battleships, I know how large and imposing they are. Your shot truly captures the enormity. How did you get to be in front of the bow?

The Wisconsin is part of the Naval museum at Norfolk VA and you can go onboard - might post some shots of the 16 inch guns later.... That shot was actually taken from the museum entrance archway - as you can imagine its quite an impressive first sight!

Great first efforts EOSAddict :D

The reflections have been caught very well.
