Another attempt at being artistic.

So I'm not real artistic... but I'm gonna give it a go..
Here are some photos that I took with my Canon PowerShot SD600. I'm not claiming any skill with a camera, these are just a few that I thought came out pretty well. I am quite open to any constructive criticism and/or any help you may offer.

This is just a picture of my sandals that I took cause I thought it would look kinda good in B&W.

A sunset I saw on a drive home from somewhere. (moving shot)

A sunrise I watched with some friends at spring break.

I just thought this one was kinda cool. My lens fogged up. Its under this fake waterfall at this hotel.

A beautiful sunset in Puerto Rico.

I am the most proud of this one... I thought it came out quite well. It is of some statues on a fountain also in Puerto Rico.


Well thats all for now. Please tell me what you think! Thanks.

OOH! Pyro! You ARE my brother, arent you? :P

They came out very nice. Hope you start posting more pics, I'd love to see them. You can go check out my stuff at http://meggyfayephotography.joolo.com

i LOVE the picture with the beach (the 1st one) i always dreamed to be on a beach and watching the sunrise...or the sunset. damn u're lucky and these are very cool photos.
meggy u're really... born to be a photographer. seriously u guys are good!

Those are pretty damn good pictures. I like the beach ones because they remind me of my backyard, and the last one is awesome. All of em earn an A+ in art besides the flip flop one, feet are nasty.

The first pic of the beach, and the last two pics of the Puerto Rican sunset are amazing. I really like how you were able to catch so many of the seagulls, mid-flight, in that first beach pic. It really shows all of the activity that was really going on, out there. And the color (especially the blue in the water seeming so vibrant against the rest of the pic) is absolutely awesome. Nice shots.

The last pic is of course amaaaazing... but I'm pretty partial to one of the sunset pics on the beach where the birds are in mid flight. :goodjob2:

The first beach/sunset picture is my favorite because of the dock. One of the biggest factors to keep in mind when you're taking a picture is your horizon. And yours look perfect, they aren't going diagonal in any way. Its actually a lot harder to do than it looks, and you made your horizon perfect.

Thanks so much for your comments! Meggy I really appreciate that bit about the horizon.. I really need to learn some of those basic things because I will admit that I just usually wing it and don't have much in mind when I take pictures. I will surely post so more if I ever take any that I feel are comparable to these.

I'm giving Man Of Steel pleanty of pointers. Take a look at his photo thread, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. Adam's pretty good too, so feel free to ask him as well.

I like that one.
It could've been an awesome high contrast photo, if only you had a couple more shots with the light on it.

Overall, i really like your shots.

I love all the sunset ones. I'm a huge sucker for great sunsets. The silhouettes make a really nice addition.

Here are a few I took today... Didn't come out too well, but theres a few things a like in each.. but they were somewhat out of focus..

Yep.. And obviously I did some editing to at least make them presentable. So tell me what you think?:oops:

Your pics are absolutely amazing. I love sunsets, the statues one is my favorite :), and the flowers are very nice too, especially the last one.
