2 Beautiful Children

Okay...im so new to this and definately need a bigger better camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 and then a Canon PowerShot A540. I know i need a better camera and im definately getting one soon. I take pics all the time, mostly of my kiddos. Here are two pics of my kiddos and i hope i posted them right. Tell me exactly what you think, dont be nice!! I need to know what i need to work on.

These were both taken outside at my home. Like i said..im new to this..I have SOO much to learn and would appreciate any help from any of you! thank you!

Wanted to add that these were both taken w/the canon. I know its not considered a *professional camera* per sae but mainly just practicing. Im getting a new one in February..already have my eye on one!

Great shots

Welcome to the forum. I have learned a lot her as I'm sure you will too. This is a great community and very friendly. Really like the first one. Great expression you captured there. Try not to cut fingers or toes off. I'm still guilty of this:o I like the angle of the second one. Looking forward to more photos.

Thank you. My mom said the same thing when she looked at it "why did you cut off her toes" lol. Im learning and i appreciate your comments!!

cute photos.. and a warning this forum is dangerous to the bank account.. that said, welcome and I hope to see more of your work..

sari

LOL thanks for the warning. I can see where you get that. I do need a new camera though!

nice! very cute children.

I like those! Don't worry too much about having a P &S. I have the A610 and I can do pretty good shots with that. I'm just dreaming about a DSLR at the moment because money just will not permit.

What a cute smile!

Ooh, the lighting and angle on the second one is great.. I really like it

I really like the 2nd one ...wow!

They're beautiful children.
And the photos are lovely.

Very nice - esp as its p&s.

What have you got your eye on (equipment wise) and beware this thread will make you spend too much money....

Well...2 camera's that I have been looking at are the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and the EOS 20D. Although i really like the EOS 30D with SLR but we will just have to see what kind of price i can get them for. Any suggestions? Anyone know a good place to get them at a great price?? thank you everyone!
