I couldnt figure out how to upload the picture so i pasted the link......i tried a couple of times to upload it and was told "upload error"

Anyway, this is the luckiest shot in the world, especially because it was my first time to use SLR equipment. I am having a blast.......and by the way, thanks for the cool website to put all these pictures!! I really like what you guys are doing!

    4on4,

    Nice work under some difficult conditions. I like the blur and think it adds to most of your shots thumb.gif

    Thanks, i dont even know how the blur worked or if its supposed to. You say it looks good so i guess its cool, but i dont know what im doing.......some of them i wish could be a little more clear but there are a few blurry ones that i thought (as you said) the blur added to the shot.....

    Laughing.gif ...not knowing what you are doing isn't all bad. The more knowledge you gain, the harder you will be on yourself and towards your images. Back before I know what was what (this was like a month ago....lol) it was so much easier to just like a pic cuz it looked good to me. No concerns about analyzing the compositional and technical aspects/merits of the shot.

    I used to be happier with my own shots in my state of ignorant bliss too. Then I came here and wound up getting too smart for my own skills....Laughing.gif

    Anyhow, ya done good thumb.gif

    You've got some great shots there; welcome to the hobby! Now, start to play with the crop tool....you could turn some of your good shots into stellar shots! :)
