sure thing Gis...... just as long as there is one colour

sometimes you don't need the whole object in the image to know what it is.

I like where you're going with that Gis - sounds great!

I might have a go at B&W portrait this month - a friend had a bub while I was away so I might see what I can do.

Love the apple too Tiff!

Ok so after a bit of a play around, this is what i have come up with Tiff.

Thanks for the tips on the Tutorials it has helped me alot.

Wanted to know what you think and if i am on the right track this time.

Yep Mel. you are on the track.

great focusing chook. even the little spiderweb is crisp. Interesting shapes too.

Scroll back thru this thread to check out Julez shots. She's got some great lines happening too......(umbrella)

So now you've an eye for colour, think of shapes, textures, lines to make a really WOW shot!!!!!!!

You go girl.

and ta for mentioning the help from the other tutes. It's wonderful to hear that I can help a bit. After all, that's why I'm here.

Excellent, now i am going to go and get a little more creative.....which is what i love

Yes i did see Jules Photos they are fantastic, such a basic everyday item but fantastic patterns and lines.

Your apple looks excellent too.

Right so if i can get on top of the cleaning etc, i will be out taking photos....yehaaaaa i am finally learning something worth knowing and remembering about my awesoome camera.

Thanks Again X X X X

had a chance to have a play around with the camera today down at the beach - it really is hard to find something to snap that is just one colour - here are some shots I took that I am thinking are headed in the right direction - thanks as always for the Tuts Tiff - they are an immense help

Grey

Green



Mustard tones




Dark Greys

Grey. talk about the right place at the right time. Good spotting him in the first place.

And good for you taking the camera out for a walk. lots of textures and interest, but the grey goanna?? just gets me!!

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for Tiff?

what is that Sarah???

not quite the idea but you are nearly there. I can see three colours in that one. Try to simplify it a little bit more. You need one point of interest so they eye will lock on that first and then move around the image.

does that help a bit.

lol it is a banana brack. Trying to take lee-annes advice and get inspiration from the paddock. Will upload some others to see if they are better. thanks mwah

How about this one??

getting there Sarah. now that you've got a colour happening, now think of an interesting angle to take the shot. Ie from the tip of the leaf, looking back up to the stem via the the the central part of the leaf ( that valley area, I forget the right name for it. )

or along the viens

or something that you think of.

keep at it mate. That's why we have all month to get some practise in to crack a top shot.

here are some photos from my SIL's Mother's Day flowers. I would love your comments Tiff.
