Excellent set, looks like you're learning quick :thumbup: :thumbup:

Not a lot wrong with the photography side. You should get a good photo editor and tweak the exposure (like everybody else does). :-D

I have a new T3i and purchased one of the FOR DUMMIES books and it is really very very good in helping me to understand this camera. You might wish to consiider one :thumbup: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/compose_reply.jsp?topicnum=126763&postnum=2146382#

Good set Mistletoe, The T3 is a good camera, but I agree with RG about the exposures, and I'm not sure if you are shooting on full auto or not, if so try moving on to AP, SP and manual exposures. As time goes on you will get to know how to get the best exposures from your camera and lessen the need to tweak a in PP. I hope I haven't offended you?

Good use of B&W - an old-style type of photo for old-style subjects :thumbup: :thumbup: .

R.G. I do have the Canon software that came with the camera. I did do a little tweaking but didn't want to go to far. What kind of tweaking would you suggest? If you could take a couple of my pictures and tweak them so that I can see what you speaking of.

Hi, missletoe. I'm a long way from being an expert, and there's others here can advise you far better than I can. I don't have your Canon software so I can't comment, but it seems to me that the best suites are the ones where you can be selective in what you lighten/darken. With some, you can select specific areas, and with others you can lighten the dark areas (or shadows) without lightening the whole pic.
I've had Lightroom recommended to me, and I'm close to deciding to get it. I can relate to you wanting to do the minimum editing, and it's so easy to overdo it and end up with a pic that looks over-processed. I'm hoping that Lightroom helps you avoid that over-processed look.
Quick edit just using "Lighten Shadows".

R.G. I see what you mean, the Blue Jay pictures where taken on an overcast day and sort of back lit by any sort of sun that there was. On my Canon software I can increase or decrease the brightness along with a number of other things. I did a lot of trimming on those Blue Jay pictures.

The flower photo is quite lovely. I would recommend leaving a little more room on top and bottom next time, or crop this one to more of a square shape. I tried auto-contrast and while it gave a bit more "pop," I don't think it necessarily improved the image, so didn't save.
I love that bluejay trio, especially the silhouette of the one in the middle! Your moon looks very sharp, as well. Next time, if you click "store original," to the right of the upload button, we can view the images larger.
That is quite a big herd of deer at those cabins! Like your b&w subjects.
You've shown a great range of subject matter, tricky lighting situations, varying depths of field, and so forth. You're obviously quite comfortable with this camera already.

Rabbott, it took a number of tries to get that moon shot I used a 100-300 millimeter cannon lens at 300 millimetres, I used manual focus.I don't remember the settings but it was on a tripod with a remote then I use the Canon software I got with my camera trimmed it and sharpen the picture thank you for the compliment
