Default Photos from work
Hi All,

Just joined and would like to share some shots I have got over the last few days. I have just bought a samsung WB500 so wanted to play around with it. I hope this camera will allow me to learn a few basics about the art of photography. So here goes and by the way, all are auto shots:

Newton Rigg Garden

The Fly

Dual Outlet

Night Girder

I hope you enjoyed those shots? The last one is in fact a green girder with an orange light shining from the opposite building . It's one of my favourites due to the contrast with the dark background. Also, like all my photos, the only editing done is a bit of cropping.

BW skyshot is interesting. Some heavy sharpening with PS would make it quite more interesting. Welcome here!

Welcome to DPS your automode works great, but don't be afraid to try the manual mode

Thanks for the kind words everyone, at least I know I'm heading in the right direction.

Michael, I've been messing with manual settings and will put these photos up at a later date. Just need to get instruction manual and read up a little more on things like.....well everything!
