Hi,
I recently attended an exhibition of photographs taken on mobile phones, OK they weren't technically as good as those shot with DSLR's but I was still amazed at what had been achieved. Some where particularly atmospheric due in part to the fact that they lacked some detail.
Don't be put off Keep you interest and you'll see just how quickly your photography will develop. There are a lot of people on here who are only too willing to offer help and advice ....Enjoy!

Welcome fotog,
You make a couple of interesting points, however, If you see an image that moves you. I can think of no reason at all why it shouldn't be sharp,in focus well exposed and well composed !!!!!
Re your photo, maybe a slightly lower viewpoint would have got rid of the flare, and is that a manipulation artefact I see in the right hand side of the figures chest ?
Keep up the good work. Normanc

Hi Hando,
I have visted Tallin twice now it always reminds be of something from Walt Disney with the lovely coloured rooves and buildings. I have spent a few hours in a small cafe in Short leg street. I have travelled quite a lot throughout Europe and the middle East. One of my passions is Ancient Egypt and have spent a number of years trying to learn to read hieroglyphs. I use a Canon 50d ( small sensor, shutter guaranteed for 100,000 operations ) and Canon 'L' series lenses. I find the 'L' series lenses head and shoulders above the normal lens, but at a cost, still, I suppose you get what you pay for.!
I was in Port Said last year, what a dry, dirty, filthy hole that was !. It really makes you appreciate the nicer places.
More of my favourite places are Venice and Florence, not too keen on Rome because EVERY time I have been there the rain has been torrential.
I have never tried underwater photography, I suppose the cost is quite prohibitive.

Thank you for your comments. I haven't been to the USA , however, it is on my to do list. I agree, there are beautiful places all over the world, I believe that seeing the same places all the time does make a person complacent and you don't always appreciate what is on your doorstep.
Thanks again for you comments.
By the way, the most photogenic country that I have ever been to was without doubt Norway...truly majestic

I only recently found this site, It's great to such a diverse selection of photographers.
I am currently getting a panel of photographs together for a qualification with the Royal Photographic Society. I look forward to seeing whats happening on 'Ugly Hedgehog' every day and I must say I really enjoy the photos. I do feel envious of you guys in the USA, you have some mind blowing scenery

When photographing ducks,swans etc,to get the best shot, lie down and take the picture from their perspective. I always wear suitable old clothes that I don't mind getting a bity dirty. perhaps its not the most convenient way,however,the resulting images will be much better.
I would have preffered a shallower DOF to isolate your subjects. Pics seem to a be a little 'over saturated' can't really believe that the grass really was that colour(number 3).

Copyright is always the propertyof the photographer. You can wave your rights should you wish, or, you can sell your copyright for individual photos.
If you are producing proofs for someone put them on CD and make sure that they are re-sized to small files. That way they will reproduce fine on a TV or computer, however, should someone try to print them they will be very disappointed.
Another way to show your copyright is to add your copyright symbol as an extra layer in photoshop and save it as a PSD file. This ensures that when you go back to it, should you wish, you can just delete the extra layer.
