Morning walk series

[Learner]

I was going through many photography sites and threads here on this forum. I became very inspired, but limited by my equiptment, started wondering if I will ever create an interesting shot (A 95). Well, I am seeing things through different eyes these days and now find the most ordinary things interesting. So, with the help of post processing and a lot of coffee, did I create anything interesting with these photos today, or should I just go back to sleep?:lol:

TYhe last one is my favorite. Love the rich colors and contrast of the gravel.

Did you take these on certain settings or just Automatic functions? They're great, although I have no idea what the first picture is supposed to be.

Thank you for checking them out, I woke early to get these, then spent about an hour Post Processing to put them up. This was my first time getting out so early to snap shots. I think I was the only one awake in the whole freeekin world. I must do that again, it was fantastic fun!

I have not used auto settings for a while now. I fluctuated shutter/apeture from 1/8 to 1/15 - f6.5 t6.5 to f8, I used single AF and evaluate white balance. I love manual, I hit the set button 3 times and I can control where I want my focus! for an A series camera, thats pretty cool:D Then I spent an hour post processing before I put them up this morning. I'm sooooo sleeepy now lol, not slept in a while, too busy snappin' pics!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my stuff!

This last one looks a bit saturated (maybe some of the others, too) but you have managed more interesting views, scenes, textures, shapes and colors in a morning walk than I do at a concert! I am especially inspired by the rusted nuts, much as I was with the set that 4nR posted in his recent collection. I just don't see these things which are probably all around me, sigh. Good job.

Thank you for the comments. I agree I over saturated these in PP, now that I am looking at them again. I am really focused on composition. For now these are just practice for when I get a dslr, then I will really focus on getting all the info while still in the camera. :)

I love the texture and shallow DOF in #3... I'm always drawn to rust for texture!

Interesting shots... You're making me want to get out and try this kind of thing too!

I like the water drop on the chainlink fence. Very Cool! A little lens itself. What might also be cool is to flip the image so the "drop's image" is right side up :)

P.S. The way I see it, a big piece of photography is "learning to see" or "learning to see through different eyes."
