taffspride Loc: Originally Wales, now the Sunshine State
 
Good morning, I am a newbie photographer, my favorite subjects are birds (mostly seabirds) and flowers. I am anxious to improve my work, and welcome any constructive critiques. I have two Sony camera bodies, an A500 and an A 700. My go-to lens is a Tamron 18-270mm and for stationary use I have a Tamron 600mm lens.

Welcome Aboard. Great intro photo. You have an eye and technique to produce lovely images. Consider cropping to eliminate some of the unimportant stuff in the image.Look forward to more.

Pretty bird. Welcome to the forum. Like I tell all who say they are new and want to learn; pick up a copy of The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby. It's the first book in a series and it is easy to read and learn from. Enjoy your picture taking.

Looking good. I am a long time Sony user myself. Take most of what you read hear with a grain of salt. Most photographers are very picky about the equipment they use and will let you know. Looks like you know your equipment very well and that is 90% of the battle. It's the brain behind the camera that makes the photo, not the equipment. Happy shooting

Judging from the pretty Robin photo, your username and your salutation I'm guessing you are in or near Wales.
