Hello hello.
Just grduated from highschool,there i took the photography class for 3 years.
But thats all there is to it,So im still kinda fuzzed about it.
Recently got my first LSR,canon 600d.

They are not.
Do you mind explaining what gives off that impression?

Sort of slices of life. Not snapshots because there seems to be more than merely recording a scene.


Canons to the left, Canons to the right,
We hold our L glass toward the light,
Digitizing in a snap reflective glory
That will forever tell our imaged story.

The composition seems strange in all of them, it looks like you just held down the continuous shooting option and fired away hoping to get a few good shots. Thnats just my opinion. Dont take offense or anything but im critiquing you! No hard feeling, we all start somewhere

1st pic. I like this one, the strongest of the 4 in mu opinion
2nd pic. What are you shooting? no real subject. doesn't flow at all. my eye is not drawn to any part of the shot.
3rd pic.What is the subject. the baby or the "mum and the baby" if you had got in a little closer and got the baby's head and the hand in the shot, Or moved out further and got mums head/ face in shot probably in portrait format in would have been stronger. I think if you spent a few minutes and cropped this shot it would be much improved
4th pic. Again a tighter crop may work, or may if the girl was looking at the camera.

Keep trying, you will get better. Spend some time looking around the site here at other people pics. There is so much good advice around here.. You will get a handle on who makes useful criticism and who is making inane comments to get their post count up.

What do you mean?

If you mean me, I was being kind of complementary.
