I have recently gotten into a photography and bought a new camera. Here is the first photo shoot I have done. I visited a future filmmaker friend of mine in our home town and accompanied him in taking pictures of two small towns in South Louisiana near us.

These seem to be more about capturing the subject matter literally rather than making an artistic statement. By this, I'm certainly not criticizing these photos as bad, because you've done a fine job of shooting each of these subjects. These colors are seen in real-time, and the angles aren't obtuse.

If you're looking to pursue a career, or something on the side, in photography, you're well on your way. Photos of this nature are often used for news publications. Considering these were taken with a digital camera, you may want to look into offering these pieces to news websites of some variety. That, or perhaps a website for certain, local areas (like a town or restaurant).

Oh I am certainly not trying to make an artistic statement. It won't be a while till I'm ready to do that in any capacity. And this is just as a hobby, I am too busy with pursuing another career to even consider another one. smile.gif

Thanks!

I've been banned in the state of Georgia to own a camera. Something about intruding female dorm and shower rooms or something like that.

I'm a horrible photographer. but my oldest daughter seems to have the eye.
I'm sure I'll be guilted into buying her a crazy expensive camera within the next few years =\

Yeah it's a supposedly haunted courthouse here in my town. I live like two blocks from it. I really like the boat pic. Very lovely biggrin.gif

Hey guys, I've got myself a nice camera and I've really been into my photography lately. It's obviously all amateur but I'd like your opinions on them:

My daughter got digital photogaphy as an elective...... I am so screwed. I might as well just go out and sell a kidney for an SLR right now.
Gryph
Those are some great photographs!
Hera
Thanks Gryph. biggrin.gif

Inky, you can find reasonable priced SLR's.

The camera I'm using is a Nikon D40 and it was a display model at the store. You can find those pretty cheap. The expensive part are the lenses. Not to mention other accessories such as the added flash, lighting kits, cleaning kits, tripods etc.

I have a 55-200mm lens that was $300. If you are wanting incredible pictures without having to use much lighting, you're looking at over $1000.

But I would definitely suggest the D40 for your daughter. It's very light and durable. It's compact size is incredibly convenient and it takes really really good shots. You hardly have to edit any of the photos. All I did on some that I posted was desaturate the color and change some hues for the creek shot. But that's it really. It's a great starter camera. Canon rebels are good as well but are a little more expensive. Not sure why as they have the same capabilities if not less than Nikon's models.

Don't bother getting a D60, it's practically the same as the 40 and they're charging a ridiculous amount of money. There are tiny differences and they're not significant enough to pay $2-300 more. Hope this helps.
