A bit of colour

wondered what you think of these, there recently new shots
CC welcome, i need to improve! again excuse the softness am lazy with uploading and dont give my work justice

Yeah, someone that likes bright colors. Very nice set Haylee. My only advice is to try offsetting your main subject away from dead center. For a proclaimed beginner these are really good.

any good ideas then for composition? am still learning with flowers and these are my first set. over the last month or so i have really improved with my pictures and i dont know how lol

On the entry page to YO there are courses you can take for free to help your photographic skills. That's a good way to get started. Composition happens to be top on that list.

Examples:






Always ask yourself in the final composition where your eyes are drawn to and what is your main object of interest. If these two answers are the same you have a pleasing composition. This can be accomplised in a number of ways. Take the course on composition and tell us what you think. Keep shooting.

Nice shots Hayley - really like the first two

The photography basics Bob is talking about are listed in this thread: http://www.yophotographer.com/page.php?t=54

I nice set with lovely colours.
I agree that the composition on these could be improved - either in camera or by cropping.
The rule of thirds is a good starting point.
We can't comment on your focus as your uploading is softening your pictures.
The colours are good but I think some tweaking would give them more ooomph. Number 1 particularly looks a little cool at the moment and would benefit with some PP to warm it up.

I love number two.

The softness could be helped by uploading through flickr.

Also have a look at flickr for ideas,,,,,,,,,just type in a certain flower and bob's your uncle.....

Very nice Hayley - all has been said that I would have - so I'll just say I think they're not a bad start!
