hi. bit of an intro. i dont do this professionaly, in fact im quite the amatuer tongue.gif. i've just gotten into photography, since dad bought a dslr for his work. i manage to steal it quite often nowadays. i generally have little idea of what im doing so any help is welcome.

i do very little in the way of post processing, mainly because im lazy. when i do bother though its just levels, contrast, and other basic stuff

the majority of my pics will be taken with the dslr. however most of the earlier ones are taken with an ixus75 p&s. quite a versatile little camera. i also had access to a G6 i think it was. a bit more advanced.

my "gear"

Canon 450D
canon EFS 18-55mm stock lens
canon EF 73-300mm zoom lens
Canon EF 100 mm 1:2.8 Macro lens
noname brand tripod

hope you like what you see. i'll be adding pictures very soon, once i figure out how to watermark them. does anyone know if i can do this in batches? and add borders too?

lol on second thought i really cbf with that stuff. ok these are in chronological order as best i remember. i've copied the numbering system from one of you guys cos it works and quoting is so much better that way.

all these are taken with the IXUS75 mainly. also the G6

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6. the partial desat on this one is straight off the IXUS. i think its cool for a P&S

7.

8.

9.

10.

11.

12.

13.this was really weird. using the flash made the sunset look like a fake background

14.

15.

16.

17.

18.

19.
20.

21.

22.

Heya.. nice shots smile.gif

Just a quick suggestion

I think shot 32?

Try that one again at f5.6 or f8 and see how you go smile.gif
Keep the ISO down to 100..

The colors in the water will look a lot more still and it will have that gloss look.

Also i noticed most of those car pics in the day time are set to iso 800? Any reason why such ISO value?

Notice how the dog pic is a bit grainy due to being iso 800.

Just a suggestion man thats all..

thanks for the advice man. i'll try 32 again for sure. the car shots im not sure why they were at 800. i guess i gotta pay more attention to my settings lol. as for the dog i know its grainy but she was under a table in low light and i was handholding. oh well
