comment?

currently your snapped shots are no better than phone camera BUT in time, you'll be able to produce some stuff.

i see you can some what compose. now it's just a matter of understanding how light and camera interact.

good attempt, at least not lens cap shots.

Keep on shooting, don't ever give up. Learn to play with ISO settings, shutter speed and aperture so that you can improve your shots in terms of sharpness and then from there can compose it well!

In regards to your shots, I would always thought that any waterfall shots that has visible koi fish in it, most photographers would want to make the water be crystal clear as to put emphasis on the fish. Usually these are those photo shoots for prosperity shots

For the koi fish, how can I snap a steady clear shot? I've tried to take some shot of the koi fish. However, the fish seems like 'bengkok' here and there due to the water.

Of course you can't help it because that is physics, the fishes will look bengkok. Perhaps the focusing point is the water rather than the rocks.

As a newbie, what do you guys recommend to start shooting with? What kind of setting should i shooting with?

i use full manual.

you could just try auto, no problem. they have some presets.

just snap more, play around with the settings, see the difference before and after settings applied.

always review your pictures and improve from there.

Anybody willing to give me a free 1 day class? hahaha

play with auto first for u to use to ur cam..
then play with P mode to familarise for those available setting..
then .....

happy shooting..
shoot more makes perfect!!

picture are too soft...

and also may i suggest photobucket or imageshack for posting pictures?

agreed with the others. pics are too soft. better if you can post larger images too.... like 600x400 or bigger... coz hardly see the details.


p/s: moar pics of the big girl plz. and i believe xandman would agree with me lol j/k (spam)

play around with your camera.. practise makes perfect.good luck.
it's a waste of money if u didnt fully utilise your camera.

dat's why legendary quote always says.. "it's not the camera, it's man/woman behind the camera".

VERY agree!!!
hehehehe....

welcome to join our bandwagon here, wendymelon... it'll take awhile to adjust yaself with the camera n optimize d usage... 1st pic got potential.. a lil mo bokeh n get rid of the overexposure (top right part)...

practice makes perfect

take ur time learning those shutter speed,ISO, and aperture .. this will helps u alot have fun !!
