Hi Im Caroline and only starting to get really into Photography. :D
Has anyone have any tips for a new comer??? :?:
Hi Caroline and welcome to the site!!
What camera have you got? What type of Photo’s are you interested in taking i.e Portraits,Landscape…etc
…………the best advise is to get out there and take photo’s then post them here in the C&C section.
Were a friendly bunch here ………….so ask any question you like, we all started somewhere!!
Cheers Steve

Hi Caz, welcome to PI.
Your first picture, lovely, I like the way the stream leads you into the picture. Bit overexposed, though.
2nd, needs a bit of straightening. The water is beautifully framed by the trees, bit overexposed.
3, great sky. I’m not sure I like the position of the central tree, blocking as it does the fountain.
4, again a bit bright. Maybe get a little closer to the fountain?There is a school of thought that says that the horizon should never divide a picture in half. Rules are made to be broken of course, but also to be aware of when composing.
Anyway, great work!Hi Caroline I am new like yourself, so not much in the way of advice but welcome!
I like your fountain pics !!
Hi Caroline… welcome to PI. took a look at your pics and they are nice. You have over exposed on them though, and yes the tree sitting in front of the fountain is a big NO No. One little tip for ya is to try a bring the camera with you as much as possible as you never know when ya will see a lovely pic. I usually keep it in the car and the only day i left it at home last week, it lashed snow and missed out on some really cool snow landscapes. I learnt the hard way, you dont have to.
Hi Caroline and welcome to the site. I’ve had a look at your pics but have nothing to add that hasn’t already been said!
Hey Guys
Thanks for your lovely comments. much appricated.
It was my first time going out and taken pic’s so i wasnt sure what to look out for but all these tips are really helpin, so thanks again
Keep them coming :wink: …
Hi Caroline
Find a local camera club in your area and drop in to their next meeting, don’t know any club that won’t make a fellow photographer feel welcome.
Most are a mixture of all abilities and all types of cameras from point-and-shoots to SLRs and you won’t feel out of place as a beginner.Then ask questions, always remembering, the only silly question is the one that you did’nt ask!
Good luck with the new hobby

Hi Caroline
We were all beginners once upon a time!
For advice/suggestions etc, it’s often better to embed a picture here – which you can do by right clicking on one
on your Flickr site, copying the URL, pasting it into your post and highlighting it; then using the “Img” thingy here
– it puts [img]before%20the%20URL%20and[/img] after it – thus:
I hope you don’t mind me doing this! And, pictures are often better visualised when around 800 pixels wide [this one is 240].
Getting to grips with the technicalities is fairly straightforward – which aperture, shutter speed etc – if you haven’t already
get a simple book about digital photography.The ‘composition’ of the pic takes effort and practice; think to yourself; What am I trying to say here? Is
this a record of what I saw – or what I think I saw, or am I trying to say more? – is there a ‘message’ or
does the picture invite questions about it?“Think in adjectives” – what appeals to me here/what I find unpleasant, and try to express this. Is it, for example, the ‘power’
of the fountain – when you are on the spot you can hear it – and maybe get a bit wet if you’re too close. How could
you express this in a photograph?
