hi people

im dave, 25, ive been meaning to join this forum for a while so here it is!!

ive been interested in photography for quite a while, it all started really with car shows and modified cars mainly as there is quite a big following of good photographers on the modified car circuit!

i spend quite a bit of time looking at photos that people have taken of different subjects and some are fantastic and there the ones that i really want to be able to do

i take the new camera everywere with me really hoping to get that perfect picture!!

heres what i had and have now

i owned a fujifilm s9500 just to get me started off

no i own a sony a230 with a 18-55mm sam lens and also a tamron af 70-300 tele macro

i post up some pics and see what u guys think and tips just let me know

cheers

Hi David! A big to the forum!

Pic #1, as you probably know is a bit dark and you seem to have focused on a twig rather than the rabbit! Easily sorted with a bit more thought.
Pic #2, Better! but could do with a crop to take bird a little to the left so it 'looks' into the picture.
Pic #3, again a crop but on the right this time to take out the ladder? Focus is not quite on the birds eyes,
Not bad on the whole, keep practicing and posting!

cheers for that mate, i have realised now uve said that ive focused on the twig lol and also i think the way i take pictures i cant seem to get the subject in the right place in the picture, how do decide were the subject is placed???

Focus on the eyes, if this isn't possible, or if further away, then the face/beak/nose and sharpen later. Try to get some 'space' that the 'subject' can look into, if too much, then crop later. Look up the 'rule of thirds' this will help with your composition.
