Hello,
I'm Sue from Tehachapi, CA and I would like to introduce myself. I just joined this site yesterday and I would love to learn more about photography. I currently have a little Sony DSC-W350 Cyber-shot which is nice for snapshots, but I would like to upgrade to a better camera which gives me the option of changing lenses. I have always had an interest and have taken many pictures over the years, most of which are on my computer.
I am posting a few I have taken and welcome any suggestions. The one of the old barn I entered in a photo-contest here in town and I took 2nd place. I have used Photoshop in the past to tweek the colors or crop but for the most part the pictures are straight out of my camera.
My goal is to learn about composition and what makes a good photo great. Not to rely on Photoshop or other programs for more than a minor touch up. I like taking pictures of nature, landscapes, and my pets. Im not into it for money just for fun and I look forward to learning a lot from many different sources.

Welcome! Lots of people to help you & answer questions with a smile (OK- not everyone, Just ignore attitudes but go for the advice). I have learned much in the month I have been here.

Welcome, Sue. Congratulations on your red ribbon. The first county fair that I entered I got 4th. This year I was "Reserve Senior Champion". Keep up the good work.

The Old Barn shot is very nice, especially for a P&S type camera.
The wind turbines shot could have taken on a whole new impact if you'd been able to slow the shutter speed down to show prop blur, without overexposing the entire image. It probably would have been difficult, if not impossible with your Cyber-Shot, but it points out what flexibility going to a camera with interchangeable lenses and the ability to mount filters gives you.
Keep up the good work.
