A few photos from the other day when I was just mousing around the farm.

One of my favorite things to do when I have a hankerin' to shoot pictures. Nice shots. I have a ton of stuff I shoot just to play with my settings and try different techniques on pp.

Fun to have your own "park" to play in.

Good job.

Thanks TK. I'm just a newbie playing around, trying to get used to the camera and what can be done with it. Most shots don't seem to work out, LOL! Have a great day. :-D ME

Cannon xsi, nothing too extravagant, as I'm just a newbie. Photography has always been on my bucket list. I am going to be taking a couple of courses at our local college during the summer school session, one thing checked off finally. LOL

Nice shots. Love the lighting and the rust.

I'm not all that old to this stuff myself. Did you do a lot of post processing in the first two? The background looks odd. Love the subjects but the background looks over processed.

I love the angles in the first picture, I also love all the textures in the rust pictures. WE have a railroad museum in our town and i love to take pictures of all the cool rusty things!

TK, thanks for your critique. Will work on the backgrounds. Did a bit of post processing, but I surely have a lot to learn, lol. I was too focused on the subject, didn't pay enough attention to the background, it is more obvious in the post than in my photo gallery. Lesson learned! :thumbup:

Hi ME
I think you are mousing in the right direction! 2 and 3 are great. I love old iron. Just don't count on post to save your picture. Play with your settings and get it close in the camera. In 1 you had to much DOF, if you would have step down your aperture it would haven blurred more.
By the way, I have not heard "mousing around" in a long long time. Thanks, it brought back a few good memories!

Thanks for the kind words Erv, they are surely appreciated. Love that you caught the "mousing around" comment. Gave me a chuckle.

MaryE, I'm still learning. Stick around here and you will learn a lot or as much as you want to. Great bunch of people. Sometimes we are adults and sometimes we are junior high kids. Keep shooting and showing.
