Some of my First Shots

Most of them are unedited. I honestly am new to photography so any tips/critiques are welcome whether they are composition related or technical.

They were all shot with my T2i and the 18-55 kit lens. 90% of the time I am using manual mode as well.

Good stuff.

You'll get better response if you select two or three shots which you think are strong and wish to be critiqued.

I had a brief look through your flickr. Not much really catches my (inexperienced) eye, but the thumbnail of this one did:

It looks nice and has potential. Fundamentally it's quite simple and there's just enough light to accentuate the nose of the car. If this is your car and garage, I might try the following:

- clean up the clutter in the garage, or reduce or control the light that hits the pepsi box on the left and the tools on the right. The wood stuff actually isn't too bad as it gives the photograph some feel but the junk and white bags and boxes draw the eye away from the car.
- brush the crud off the tires
- kill :P or crop out the weeds in the foreground
- probably shut off the garage light, as it creates a distracting hotspot
- I'm not sure what I think of the silver insulated pipe overhead.

Ya, good idea just using a few shots. Showing them all is probably overwhelming and boring.

As far as the picture, I agree with all of your comments. Just a quick snapshot at my grams house so not much control of the surroundings but agree 100%. Thank you!
