it's official, i'm still a novice !

I say I'm still a novice... I actually know ALOT more than when I first started which for self teaching has got to be a good thing :)

Starting to learn a bit more about f-stops and shutter speeds... white balances and other stuff like that still not 100% on how to do it with my camera, yet!

But moving on to todays pictures I had 9 days off and pretty much every single day it was bucketing it down with rain, so as soon as I got an all right day I was out and here are some of the results....

First off my favourite image of the day 

I have this one and one slightly darker and one slightly brighter... and I change my mind on which I prefer constantly!

This next one is my mums favourite! for this picture I was just trying out having the focus in the foreground with something big behind..

Then I tried it a little closer and tbh I prefer this next picture

I then just went round the church taking random pictures seeing what I could find, there were a few things but I don't rate any of the pictures fantasticly but here are a few..

none of these pictures have been edited at all... and I do have a few more but these are just a sample :) 

Hope you enjoy and please leave any feedback and comments you have! 

:D

my first post....

No idea how to start these things and the beginnings are always not as good as the ending so here's my rough beginning I bought my very own dslr camera, I eventually decided on a Nikon D5100, after shopping around a bit.

 But basically I am another 1 in a million who pick up a camera and think oooo I can do this!!!!
So that's what I'm attempting to try and do now, I'm starting off with just doing a few shots here and there and selling them on websites, we all know the ones, they are a few pence a photo or something like that. 
              Eventually I'm going to start advertising for doing portraits and parties just for friends family, see how I go.... maybe even be really ambitious and get a few put onto canvas and see if any local shops want to sell them for me :)

Tonight I went out with my camera for the first time and took a couple of pictures... so I'll add a few and then you can tell me what you think and hopefully this is the start of the rest of working life for me!


Wish me luck!!
