photos taken in the airport, please use tripod or faster shutter speed. I'm surprised the camera didn't warn you that your photo would be blur. I heard it was intelligent.

4 and 5, composition could be better. try not to put the roof tops in the centre. go for one third of the frame. more sky or more of the building. No 5, the plant didn't help at all, just cluttered your shot.

no. 6, bad composition. also can't see where your main subject is. too cluttered. try for smaller aperture to get the whole plant in focus. or else just shoot beyond the plant and get the pool in focus.

no.7, background too cluttered. and the composition for the plant/flower could be better. just try to focus only on the flower.

8 and 9, lost of contrast. You overexposed the photo. Also, composition not as good.

no. 10, bad composition as well. What were you trying to show? also, please use a tripod. it's blur.

overall, average, is usual for new users of dslr to produce these kind of photos. practice more.

yup yup...
agreed with the blurness...didnt realized it till i blow it full size...

thx for the comment...will do better!

Yeah pictures 3, 6, 8 and 9 seem to be out of focus. In your signature, you are using a SB800 and I am sure the flash could have been used a little more efficiently to expose the flowers in picture 5.

Keep up the good work and continue to play around with your equipment.

learn to use Rule of Third for composition.

thx for the comment...
yup most of it is OOF...
hand still shake a lot...
bout the flash...that time early morning...forgot i have external flash...
will play more...=)

y is all the pic look kind of blurry at the background???

some of it is bcoz of my hand shake...
some its because of DOF...

not necessarily have to apply it on field.

you can apply them when you crop those pictures before uploading.

hmmm. not bad. well taken. its okie with me

IMO, u have to work more on focus. Most of it are out of focus or blur. Me also first time like that also.....when want to go shoot together. Can try your 55-200 VR?

be tighter on the airport shots as it would emphasize on the pattern of the building..

never tried cropping before...
didnt know that rule of hird can be used while cropping..
thx goldfries...

thx scotty! glad u likd it...

yup true...a lot a OOF...will do better soon...
shoot together can...wait for me balik from spain...
then we go shoot chicks...hehehhe...

diwant sifu...can u xplain what does tighter mean?
sorry total noob...

thx all for viewing....will upload the 2nd batch soon...
Strets of Gibraltar and Puerto Banus....

xandman: Keep it up dude.. = )))

no offense, but your watermark feels a little overdone. It's quite distracting.

other than that, keep up the good work!

thx guys...will do better...and will make my water mark a bit less distracting...=)

I just wondering what is ur main theme of the pics? Well i believe u can improve more.

trav...
thx...but how to define a theme for photos?
i m not quite sure...
can u explain more?

I stilla noobie photographer btw, so we all do learn frm each other right?

When i take photographs, i always group into a theme, for instance when i post over the thread, i will organize them as one theme so ppl will get an understanding on what i taking.

Well i think u better learn up ur composition. That important.

take a look at my gallery, especially the latest from my trip.

i organized it to landscape, inanimate objects, then flowers.
