Ellebelle,

I am a novice at photography and still don't have any decent pictures to show with my new camera.
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to start instructional threads like this and i look forward to other lessons.

Taggin along....

Another shot from this weekend, I went on the third line but I thought it looked best in the center?

JD, that's better - but try cropping off of the left side again. You have a tendency to put your focal point in the center of the top third. If you chop of the left side of the photo, you'll bring the flower into the power point of the photograph with the stem as a line leading the eye there.

It's more grainy

 

[ellebelle]

What settings are you using on your camera? It shouldn't be that grainy unless you already cropped it down to begin with.

You could crop even more off of that Dom, to make the face the focal point.
