Hi guys,
Ive been lurking in the shadows for a while now, trying to learn all the different photography tricks that everyone uses. Getting the subject in the right place for the right shot definately is a lot harder than it looks, and when you get it right, hopefully the camera is on the right setting  Thanks to looking at lots of images on here and a lot of help from Killa Koala has helped immensely
These first two were taken when my daughter was being extremely cheeky. I was using the D70 with the 18-70mm kit lens and an SB800 flash.
This photo was also taken using the D70 with the 18-70mm kit lens using a circular polarising filter. I am still learning how to use the circular polarising filter, and am looking out for posts from other people for ideas and tips.
This photo was taken as a different view to the Eiffel Tower. It is perfectly symmetrical when you look up from the bottom, I like the look of it. It didnt look right as a colour photo, hence the sepia.
Any nudges or ideas to make them better is always appreciated.
Cheers
Steve

You've done well with these and the last is the standout shot here for me. As for the Circular Polariser, there isn't a lot to know. The effect is strongest when you are pointing the camera at right angles to the sun. When you look though the viewfinder and turn the CP filter you'll be able to tell when it's at it's greatest effect (darkest). DON'T take a shot like that - especially when shoointg wide - as you'll geta big dark V of colour in the finished shot. Instead back off just a little from that point and fire away.

Great shots Steve. The ones of your daughter have come up nice and sharp around those big eyes. The D70, 18-70 and SB800 is a great combo for this type of work.
Cheers
John

Definitely like the symmetrical nature of the last shot, Ozi.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments.
John D, I made a mistake, the photo of my daughter with the black background was taken with my Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens. It takes some nice portrait photos.
As for the polarising lens, thats handy to know about the sunlight. Hopefully I will get a chance soon to use it. The weather here in Berlin has been pretty overcast. Italy should be better hopefully.
As for the shot of the Eiffel Tower looking up from underneath. The main reason I took it was the fact I have never seen this view before......and it is quite arty.
Off to Stuttgart tomorrow, so hopefully should get some nice photos down there.
Cheers
Steve

Steve, nice work and definitely a different take on the Eiffel tower. Enjoy Stuttgart, I believe there is a couple of nice car manufacturers there
