  Hey Guys,

  I only own a camera a few days and just said i’d get stuck in and get out there and start shooting!

  I didnt really PS the pics at all at all, just cropped slightly is all really…

  I need advice on what im doing wrong and how to get the pic right, or if its a bad shot to start off with and bin it! :D

  So be brutally honest!!!! And tell me how to correct it too!! :wink:

  

  Rubbish i know, but have to start somewhere!! :oops: :roll:

  this is not a bad first post Sully, I like the way you have slowed the water and the exposure looks good.
  I would rote this CW a bit though. overall well done.

  Brickee means rotate it clockwise
  To rotate: Open the image and press CTRL+A to select all of it, next right click the image and on the menu that appears click free transfrom.
  Now just go to a corner ofthe image and when a curved arrow appears hold left click and move mouse to rotate.
  Easy…just remember to crop it afterwards to get rid of the empty space on the rotated edges ;)

  Very good for first post!
  Nice one

  Its a good exposure overall. The details are in the foreground rocks and the greens in the background are exposed properly ( no bright spots)
  You done very well, your level horizons (and not literally horizons) will benefit more with a good sturdy tripod. Good investment

  Much better.

  Edit:After taking another look I have to agree with Zoltan(next post) this needs a touch more rotation.

  Still not on level, it could take another 0.5 degrees clockwise ;)

  The fanciest camera won’t make a bad photographer good. Ken’s teasing you.
