While on walks the past few days I took my camera with me and took some pics.
I'm looking for constructive feedback.
Camera used was an Olympus SZ-12

Also I don't see why there needs to be a rule to only allow 8 pics per thread. I'm not hosting these pics on your board rather they are hosted on imageshack and I'm just linking them. Okay, let me read all of the reply posts here so I can try and become a better photographer........ *reads posts*......... oh thank you so much for your feedback. With the knowledge that I gained from your valuable feedback I now know that I will be able to take better pictures in the future! Thanks again! I'll give you critque - these are all snapshots of what could be some interesting subjects. Think of what you want to show in your photograph (there is a difference to a snapshot and a photograph) and make that the subject.

Dec 17, 2013 13:53 | #8 Curious why you came to a Canon forum for critique on snapshots from a basic olympus P&S? 6D | EF 35 f2 IS | EF 50 f1.4 | EF 85 f1.8 | EF 135 f2.0

In fact one day when I did do that someone actually came out of their house and confronted me about taking pics of their trees. So to be less noticeable I used my Olympus. And it would only make sense that someone who is new into this would post a bunch of "snapshots" obviously I'm not an expert right? What I'm tired of is when I TRY and get into something new. It seems like everyone just bashes me. Take the T2i, your not going to get better with your T2i by using your Olympus. 6D | EF 35 f2 IS | EF 50 f1.4 | EF 85 f1.8 | EF 135 f2.0

Dec 17, 2013 17:54 | #13 To assist in avoiding the "snapshot" look, try changing your perspective. Take the shots from a position or angle that is different that what others would see if they were just walking around. As others have said, don't take some remarks as bashing, but information to speed your learning curve. Take a few more and post again. Do you have any post processing software you will be working with or just the camera supplied software?

Dec 17, 2013 17:57 | #14 Your neighborhood seems rich with photographic opportunities; but all your pictures lack any context. You should find a scene and find a place to hang out and wait for some people to get into the scene to give it some personal interest then shoot. I'd start with the eagle. It would be great if there were a person in that shot walking under the eagle or by its talons. Where is your neighborhood? -- Image Editing OK --

Dec 17, 2013 17:58 | #15 Lol, no your right, most people are good about it. I get that everyone wants to be helpful and encouraging, but sometimes you just can't sugar coat it. I think if everyone was more brutal in this section, people would learn quicker. 6D | EF 35 f2 IS | EF 50 f1.4 | EF 85 f1.8 | EF 135 f2.0
