Cool My Online Gallery: CyBeRkId

Being on the verge of buying a digital SLR i thought i best set up a photo gallery. To start it off i've stuck some photos taken with my current camera (Sony P100) ...

I would greatly appreciate any critical feedback on how to improve my shots, composition etc....

Thanks,
Michael

They worked mate and they are pretty good.

I would say that there is not a lot wrong with your compositions some great shots there. What lets them down (especially the b&w ones) is that they aren't as sharp as they could be. Could be down to the quality of your Sony or could be that your camera has chosen quite a slow shutter speed because there wasn't much light - resulting in images with a little bit of camera shake. The benefit of a DSLR is that you can increase the ISO which allows you to use much faster shutter speeds which can elimate the shake (and produce really sharp images).

Keep us posted with your DSLR purchase and subsequent first pics

Big improvement with the DSLR! I like the poker shot, especially black and white. Would also try sharpening the ewe+2lambs shot and changing to black and white, increasing the shadows and highlights a bit (picasa-speak!) and seeing what you think.

Flower shots really need sharp focus on the main flower and a bit of sharpening to work, I always struggle to get these shots.

Good post though, interesting composition - i like the concert shot too, gives a good atmosphere

Re - the car.

Its a quality shot. Makes me think of a movie set where a really bad actor is over steering the wheel as the back drop passes by. Know what I mean????

Some excellent shots there Michael. I have got to get a Sigma 28-200, your results with it are great.
