I need some help!

I'm using a Nikon Coolpix, just a simple little camera but it works really well. I love it for its size and simplicity.So far I think I'll take Toe Stand, Ladybug in a Plant, and Run Away (the one with the horses,that was a ton of fun to take. 25 or so plastic horses hanging from my ceiling).


Anyways: you picked out one of my favorites, I had one chance to take that picture (my mom wanted to leave the store NOW) and I was pretty excited it turned out half ok.

Ampersandwitch: I took Aisle Way in a barn I used to ride at. It was a pretty run down place and my parents said we had to leave since it was no longer safe to be at,  I took that picture right before we moved my horse out.

Khar: Yeah, I think I will try and desaturated that shot. Maybe I will upload the outcome later.

Thanks for the compliments  (:

Emaline:
I agree with most of Khar's choices, but I feel like Ladybug and Plant would be more stunning in color, as opposed to how you have it in black and white.

I also think the the girl on the swing, isn't that great, and that you do have better stuff. I'm more partial to Khar's last two black and white picks. I went through your album last night, and the one with the pointed toes is the one that stood out the most to me.

KharBevNor:
Yeah. The thing about that one is that its really well composed, very classical. You've also got a good tension in there, plus its very minimalist in a way. You've chosen the absolute minimum of information necessary to describe the ballerina. We can imagine her in her entirety from just those feet and the shoes. It's a very nice image.

If you ever wanted to make a little bit of money, by the way, You couild easily sell a good few of these as stock images, no question.

Also, you should get an SLR, maybe film, and learn how to use it. You've already got a very good eye for framing and composition, but on a camera like the one you're using there's no real way to work with aperture or shutter speed, except very crudely. Understanding and using depth of field is, I think, the real trick to absolutely mastering photography.

The shoes in the picture are actually ghillies, otherwise known as soft shoes, for Irish dancing.

I'm hoping I will get a new camera this Christmas (I have some money saved up for when things start going on sale). I was actually thinking of maybe going for film, and seeing what I could do with that. I'm still pretty undecided.

Emaline:
I'd love to tell you that you should definitely go for film, but with the way things are today, you may want to go ahead and attempt to find an affordable digital slr. The main thing is, get a slr. Film is all kinds of fun to develop, and play with and I love it to death, and love all of my manual film slrs way more than I have ever loved a digital camera. I've played around with two digital slrs, and both are nice, but I still think I would miss my film cameras.
