Holiday Snaps

[Mrs Fish]

I don't profess to be any good at photography, and I only own a simple, cheap in the scheme of things digi camera, but I am quite happy with some of the shots it has taken on my latest holiday. Please be gentle

First of all, the local wildlife

[Mrs Fish]

Let me know if these are too big to open and I'll downsize them some more

[tuscan_v8]

what camera did you use? and where did you go?

[Mrs Fish]

As a matter of interest... Just how much are people spending on a good camera and lenses to get the fantastically sharp pictures I have been seeing on other threads?

A lot of it is processing rather than equipment - screens aren't the best way to judge sharpness anyway, what with all those pixels. Resizing and sharpening can do wonders for a photo on screen - but it's an illusion.

A couple of moody shots on the days the sun didn't shine. I quite like this one, but I'm not sure why


Oh and I like this one too as it looks so isolated.

Peter Island?

indeed we did

[Mrs Fish]

Here is a typical picture postcard shot

[bilko2]

Excellent pics mrs fish
That last one is composed exactly right according to the law of thirds imo. So you obviously have a good eye.
I have seen a lot worse bird pictures taken with 4 times more expensive equipment including mine.
I think you are a natural.

[simpo two]

Now that postcard shot is very nice... just one teensy thing - please make the horizon level

Thanks

Looking at it again, should I have cropped the last one so that the horizon is horizontal?
