Awful advice.

This is another I took... the bunny isn't mine, I found it on the roof of my school.

Am I a worthless photographer?
No you're not worthless you're just new to it. Spend some time browsing photos and finding a style that inspires you as right now it's more snapshots rather than artistic photos. You don't even need a fancy camera to achieve good photos check out the mobile photography thread as evidence of this.
[QUOTE=Jaanus;30526580]Awful advice.[/QUOTE]
It's a trap that most new photographers can fall into, it's best to avoid until you are better at capturing 'the big picture'.
shall i shoot some night shots?
[QUOTE=B-hazard;30526795]It's a trap that most new photographers can fall into, it's best to avoid until you are better at capturing 'the big picture'.[/QUOTE]
But what if they just want to play? Not everyone gets into photography to be told to follow a certain set of unwritten rules. For example the macros I took when i got my camera, I just wanted to try out the technique, and I know that the DOF is shallower then a kiddie pool in Death Valley. lol

I like the the texture the petals create, but I'm no expert like some of the others here.
I shot some long exposures last night.

I'm really digging the colors and the soft feel it has, but I would be lying if I said it was a particularly interesting shot.
The other two are cool. I'm a real fan of the first one.

This one would be absolutely perfect if the guy wasn't blurred from motion. A quick solution would be to take the exposure and then manually flash him with an offhand flash right before the exposure is done.

im gonna go take some shots in my back yard

Like people have said, there is nothing 'wrong' with any of your photographs, from what I can tell you have a more than good enough camera to learn to be a good photographer. Google composition, look at images on flickr, and study what people like/don't like about the pictures in this very thread. You'll soon pick it up.
Asking 'are my pictures any good' isn't a great way to learn. It's not the worst way, but you need to study what other people post to get a better 'feel'.

Permission to take night shots granted, I guess.
Do you need us to tell you what to do?
I found a guide on how to program a Ti-83 calc to act as an intervalometer so I had to test it out and what better way to do that than a time lapse? The weather decides to cooperate and performs around 0:38.

Okay cuteness dump, once again taken with F1.8 Iso 100 film. Too late and too lazy to shop out the grain yet, but eventually I'm sure I will.

I was using a Canon Rebel Ti, with a Canon 50mm f1.8II with Arista Premium 100 film and developed in 1+40 Rodinal with my friend.

Sorry, I didn't mean grain, I meant the scratchies :p. But if you think I should leave those in, I don't mind them.
ahh, rodinal, I really need to get me a bottle of that. 1+100 stand developing for hours is master class.

Checking back when the "I LOVE THIS GUY" rating has been implemented.
[QUOTE=Emz;30526393] At image 1: me too, the subject isn't amazing but the shot is great due to the excellent light.
At image 2: I agree with this, the shot seems like wasted potential. Maybe go back some other time in the future if it's local with a more suited lens?
[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I only moved my bag there for the sake of their being a subject. The shot was all about the lighting anyway.
I'm gonna go back to re-shoot that car again soon. Unfortunately I can't go wider than 50mm but I'm gonna try to cut the surrounding branches and stand back a bit.
