I try to capture anything that looks like it may be good subject matter., or maybe not!

I can crop it off, these posts were spur of the moment and I didn't give it a second thought, but thanks for your input on that.

Instead of cropping them off try your cloning tool.

I am not sure how long you have been taking photographs or how experienced a photographer you are photochingon ?? That said you have some nice ideas and right approach to good and interesting photography, but for me you are looking but not seeing? All three shots have pictures in them, but they all have too much clutter, remember, sometimes less is more? Possibly looking around for different angles may have found a better shot in any one of then and make sure they are level. Sorry to be negative and I am not criticising your work, but trying to be constructive, and as I said you are thinking and defiantly on the right track.

Sky and traffic - good subjects as any for photography. You have some good record shots of the urban environment. If you want more than that, you need to explore and try and find interesting subjects, viewpoints, composition and relationships. Use different lenses for their particular effects - the compression of a long telephoto, the distortion of a wide angle lens. Try different shutter speeds and panning to show speed of vehicles. Go up on an overhead bridge and shoot down on moving traffic. Do that in the night to capture head and tail lights. Etc, etc, etc. Good shooting.

Thanks for your input, but I don't have a cloning tool available. Maybe some day...

Suggest you go online and download a program refered to as "The Gimp" it is a free processing prgram. With a little time and experimentation it should serve you well and you should be able to most of the rudimentary editing fairly quickly.

I've used Gimp before and found it useful, but it takes up too much memory an my laptop and I have so many other things going on that I can't have that, it slows my computer down too much, but thank you for your input!

#1 would be really good without the date stamp.
