The first step is to post a few of my photos with an appropriate description of what is good or bad or whatever about them. I use a Sony Cyber Shot (5MPixels) and an Olympus E-520 (10 MPixels). Both of them I do not know how to use very well and primarily use the settings provided. It is my own fault that I have not yet learned them thoroughly.
This is a photo of what? I think that if I did not know exactly what it was it would be difficult for a stranger to identify what it is. It is a picture of 'pond scum' that has been reformed by the current and located by the shore. It is actually on the Ottawa River. I like it because of the patterns created by Ma Nature. Question: How can it be improved?
This photo is slightly blurred, not by design - he was moving, the camera is slow in capturing the image and, more importantly, the camera focused on the microphone stand, not the face. I like the photo because it shows the emotion of the song in a visual way - the eyes are closed - the singer is emoting!
This photo is of a Kenyan stool. I have removed the original finish that hid the magnificent grain and varied colours of the wood. You may not know that this is a stool, sitting on my workbench. It is a part of a series of pictures of the stool. I like it because I can see contrasts in color and in light and shade. I can also see some of the tools used bring out the colours and the grain.
There are many more that I could choose from. As to whether these 3 are representative of my work is unknown even to me. I like them. They were taken for my enjoyment and to share with my friends. I expect that if I was shooting for a wider audience I would have done a lot more in the composing vein.
