By the grace of god I found this amazing site :clap . I don't even know how I came across it. Anyway, I been in love with photography for like 2-3 years. I have an Olympus C-730, which is great for taking sport picture. I love it. Here are some of my newbie work. Please let me know what you think of it :rofl

    Yes, welcome! It is an excelent site. I never get bored with it.


    You do have some very nice shots. I really like the last one. Has a cool feel to it. Did you use high ISO or do some pixelization in photoshop to get that effect?

    wave.gif Hiya John, glad you found us! Like Greaps, I really like the first and the last. In the first, it's the lower guy who is in a great position, you really captured something there. And in the last, you got her looking very pretty and with a nice expression - quite a lot of blur, but that's a matter of taste. Nice stuff!
    Sid.

    hey, im so glad you guys like it. the first pic was just me sitting there capturing my friend playing some basketball while messing with my camera, i came up some some good one and i really like this one heh. The last shot was actualy a pose shot. She doesn't like picture of her taken, so i convince her if she let me take it i'll make it look good and will print her a copy. It's photoshop to get that high iso look, the original picture is similar, but not as contrast as it's here. :-d

    hi johnyeros! wave.gif

    Welcome to da grin. Pay no attention to the waxmeister...he criticizes everyone. Except for me...he just ignores me. ne_nau.gifrofl

    I love B&W photography...keep it coming. Especially more of the person in the last shot. nod.gif

    I like the last two, as sid says "quite a lot of blur, but that's a matter of taste" I thinks it really works here, sets the mood.
