Now About One Month Into Photography

[DimitryG31]

Just a few days over a month in to photography (no previous experience). I'm really trying to improve and make better choices on settings, but here's what I have so-far! If you have any constructive criticism, I'd love to hear how I could have maybe made these better or done something different! Although everyone has their own taste, I know there's things I could improve! Thanks.

Here's some of my work:

I like the lighting on the red car image, and that slightly washed out look on the final photo works for me too.

Thanks very much for the feedback! I think those two are my favorite out of them all as well.

It looks to me like highlight recovery at very high levels, the slight color change in the original gets amplified by the recovery and causes this type of effect.

All the car bike(r) shots have the subject in focus with a lovely slight blur background that makes them stand out beautifully.

I suspect the first shot of the reeds you might have liked the flower heads in focus?

This could be achieved by using a higher f stop (Adjustable if you are using aperture mode - marked with an A on your mode wheel) or by pointing the camera at the flower heads, half pressing the shutter button to lock the photo, moving back to the framing you want before finishing the operation of the shutter.

There's a good (free) on-line course at https://chrisbrayphotography.com/courses/online/ Which I have have found really useful for understanding how to get more from my camera beyond Auto mode.

Have fun!
