Just two of my favorite portraits and something random off my Flickr.

Decent pictures (If I do say so myself) with a stinky camera.

They look good and interesting but the composition is, to be frank, boring. Have a look at [url=http://www.amateursnapper.com/photography/10-top-photography-composition-rules]this[/url].

[QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;25455424]I gave the ol' ghetto macro lens trick another go. I stepp outside and the first thing I spot is a little blue crab spider, perched on top of my pool fence - looking directly at me.

some tiny pearlescent beetle
it's extremely hard to keep still and get a good focus because the depth of field is so shallow and the camera + two lenses are pretty heavy.
A picture I took of a Japanese flag.

I need some help with my astrophotography, most of my pictures never turn out any good what so ever.
They usually turn into something like this [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11323379/DSC_1390.JPG[/url]

Looks like camera got shaken a tad, I'm completely new to all this so perhaps does your camera have an anti-shake mode? Also how long is the exposure, I know where I am if I let it go for anymore than 30 seconds the rotation of the earth causes me to have some pretty blurry stars.
High ISO (like 8400-12400 or whatever) and then crank up the luminance in lightroom for noise reduction, but thats just how I do it.
tripod
use time-delay (10 secs) so it doesn't shake
(not too long shutter time (++tens of minutes) so the stars won't move)
cover the eyepiece (on canons you get the rubbery thing in your strap, some nikons have a shutter)
never done astrophotography but those are just common sense tips that should get you good pictures
check the lighting after the shot, and take a new one if it turns out like that
[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]
and always all stabilization features off if using tripod

My dad n' brother walking in the wild. I really like the lighting in this one.
tips?
[QUOTE=evilking1;25483172]use time-delay (10 secs) so it doesn't shake [/QUOTE]
also mirror lock up as well
What difference does it make when you cover up the eyepiece?
[QUOTE=booster;25486947]What difference does it make when you cover up the eyepiece?[/QUOTE]
I've kinda wondered why it's really worth blocking the eyepiece if the mirror is up blocking it anyways
[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;25460790]Took this self portrait about 2 hours ago.
Straight of the camera.
Just thought that I should contribute something for once.

just a picture of our friends dog, we're going to frame it and give it to her for her birthday.

Thanks dude!

I've just gone and handed a roll of film into Jessops for developing.
I think I've got some really great shots on it, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out...

Rather yellow dog you got there :v:
Angoose, just a little CC: I'd make the split toning a little more subtle. Also the front paws being out of frame ruined it for me. I know theres not much you can do if you can't take the shot again, but I'd go back and fix the split toning being overdone.
It's still a great picture, and I'm sure your friend will like it.
Yeah that dog is just a tad yellow, I mean it looks great but maybe tone it down a bit?

Reveal your secrets to me.
if I remember right, Ferosso does multiple exposures (even if it's just one RAW edited), then photomerges using the pen tool to cut out the car via mask.
