Hey guys, I just got my new canon 1000d a week ago and have been taking a few shots in my city. I don't think these deserve to go in the creative photography thread, so I figured I'd make this one. I like how most of these turned out, I haven't yet done post processing on any of them though. Some criticism/suggestions would be great, thanks.
(removed this first photo: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgen7/6021551352/[/url] which I wasn''t meaning to add. I'm going to try this one again soon.)

I'm not sure what went through your mind when you uploaded the first picture, because all of the others are fantastic for a beginner! "building" and "pipe" really tickle my fancy, and don't feel threatened by the veteran photographers in the CPT like Jaanus or Dai, they won't bite - quite the contrary actually, they love to help out beginners such as yourself.
Welcome to the Photography section!
Thanks for that mate, I wasn't expecting quite a warm response :) I didn't actually mean to include that first shot, I liked the idea of it but it turned out horribly. I'm gonna head back into the city next weekend and try it again, i'll edit the OP. I really am amazed at the quality of photos from this section, they're great inspiration for me to get shooting.
You seem to have a good eye for architectural/city shots, though perhaps you should try other areas such as landscapes and street photography.
Why do I feel like I've seen these before?

Have you posted on Reddit?
No, I don't go on Reddit. You might have seen them in another guy's amateur thread in this section but I removed those after realising it wasn't a general photography thread.
Oh, that was probably it, silly me. Liking your shots, by the way.
Cheers guys, I'll see what I can come up with next weekend. I'm hoping to do a bit of auto photography soon as well when I get back home so see how that goes.
The "City" one caught my eye, lovely composition an colors.
Hey guys, got out again for some more shots. I tried exploring the city a bit more and seeing what I could find. Also tried being a little more creative in naming them :v:

I would not consider your work amateur in any sense of the word.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;31715448]I would not consider your work amateur in any sense of the word.[/QUOTE]
So the work gets paid?
In the literal sense of the word, amateur, unpaid, yes. In the accepted sense of level of quality and experience, these shots seem far from amateur.
Wow, it must be a good thing if you think these shots are better than amateur :D I've had the camera for around 3 weeks now and I need to learn about post processing. I guess that since I'm a design student I already know a fair bit about composition which helps.
Your strong composition is definitely flowing over from your design skill. Keep up your learning about post processing, I'm eager to see how you improve.
Wavy wall really annoys me because it should be moved just a tiny tiny bit to the left

Otherwise I really like your stuff
I really like High Voltage.
Keep it up!
Excellent stuff regardless of how long you've been doing it.
Thanks heaps for the positive comments everyone, it's great motivation to get out there and get some new shots :D Might head away from the city next time as B-hazard suggested since I haven't done many shots of nature/landscapes just yet
