Hi all

I finally had a play with Matt's hand me down and took these picture yesterday afternoon on Manly Beach. Let me know if I should continue to practice or leave it to Matt - Be nice!!




Thank you

Wow Sam - there must be something in the water over there at Surry Hills!! These shots are both great, equally different but very very good. You've captured two unique moments. I prefer the 2nd shot simply because your timing and all other elements of the shot are spot on! Well done. I look forward to more posts from you! Welcome too

Sam - Welcome officially to the forum, although you hardly seem like a new addition since we've been seeing portraits of you and meeting you at various events. I agree with Geoff about capture moments, the timing for the second one is great (I still haven't taken a surfing picture with my D70 and I grew up on the beach), I really like the mother and daughter moment on the beach. I also like how you've left room for the little girl to stare off into, it leaves me wondering if it was a wave, seagull or maybe a dog or beach walker that has captured the little girls interest.

Nicely done and feel free to post more, get Matt back and post some shots of him

Sam - DO NOT STOP - these are excellent both in content and composition, and the are NOT portraits

That's my girl

Sam...you deserve a D2X.....Matt, get it done!

Hi Guys

Thank you for your comments, I am sure you are being too kind but thank you. I will continue to practice and will keep you updated on my progress, I have a good teacher.

Thanks again

And, you've got Matt as well. He manages to turn up the odd in-focus shot, too

Matt, you have to talk me through that procedure again, how to turn your woman into a photo buff...

Cheers
Steffen.
