New Camera

So I got a new camera for Christmas and I kind of have always wanted to get into like landscape pictures, so I think I might start working on it now that I got a Camera :D. I know these pics are crappy, but please CnC your hearts out. I want a bunch of tips I don't know anything about photography really. I just kind of winged it.

I for one also like the landscape pictures, I wanted to get a camera for Christmas as well but I choose the mac book instead. The one thing I notice is the colors on your photographs are a bit washed out, I would recommend adding some contrast and saturation and maybe a hint of vibrance. Also i would give all the photos a tiny bit of sharpening and blurring. But for "not knowing anything about photography" these are fantastic, I love the fourth landscape one give it a bit of sharpen and it would be perfect.

Love,

zomg!

First one, maybe would look better if you went lower, cuz then maybe you'd see the path in the middle a little better. Right now There's not much going on, but it got potential!
Second one would look awesome with a bit more depth! It would've made the tree stand out a bit more. Colors are good, I like them.
Third one has too much going on. It's a little messy.
Fourth one has alot of potential. It needs more contrast and saturation. The depth here is nice!

Also, I agree with fork on this one!

GJ man! These are pretty good for not knowing "anything" about photo!:)

Thanks guys. I might try and take more photos tomorrow. I kind of see that I need to do more now.

Have heard that if you want to create landscapes foto's that you need to go: or very early morning or late to go. At those times it's still dark and you can contrast in your photos and nature is at its best;)

Thanks mate :D, that really is a helpful tip. I might take a picture tonight then :D. Cheers!

aha, nice shots! I also got a new camera :P

Hmm. Try adding more depth to your picture. You want to have a foreground, middleground, and background in all your pictures. It's a lot like sig making. The basic elements of art can be applied to ALL forms of art. When I say foreground, middleground, and background, this is kinda what I mean...

Granted, we don't all have such interesting subjects to take pictures of but you can see that the stones make a great foreground, the water makes a great middleground, and the hills make a great background. Give something similar a try. Good luck.

I see what your saying and thanks a lot.
