Hi everyone,
It's been a pleasure reading your posts and viewing your photos! I'm very new to the forum but plan to stick around til I'm buried. Ha! "Buried in photography WORK?!?!" I wish.
Til I'm a goner. :)
Here are a few I've taken very recently. Please feel free to offer tips and advice. These are taken with a used Canon 1D I purchased from craigslist for $200. Happy day!

Welcome! You've already experienced the fun on this site so I don't have to warn you about addiction :)

The exposure looks a little soft on #1, but the composition and light are beautiful.

#2 is sweet - I might crop the dark vertical area on right.

#3 - is it cropped a lot already? I'd try to get rid of more of the white on right side. The composition is very pleasing, otherwise.

THANK YOU! I'm just now seeing your generous replies. OOPS on the title to the last photo. I must have thought I uploaded one and put up the other.
I will apply your suggestions!

Welcome!
To help us really appreciate your photos and offer the best advice possible check store original when uploading photos that you would like critiqued. As others have warned. UHH can be addicting.

Can't even tell you how much I appreciate you telling me that. I was wondering. Will definitely be using that feature.
As long as you all can put up with me, I'll gladly put up with you!

The other thing you can do to help is when replying hit quote reply so we can tell who you are talking to. You are doing great so far figuring out how to post and getting your avatar up and you even have a location!
