Post Hello, how do you do...............

.................?

I am pleased to join you and hopefully learn to take better photographs using my Sony DSLR350 camera which I purchased recently.

I would like to share a couple of images I took in Portugal recently and maybe some of you may want to suggest ways I could improve on them

Regards Triggy

Hi Triggy and welcome .. I don't think you need any advice on these photos .. they are all well captured ... love your part of the country .. at least it's warm compare to where I live .. make yourself at home and have lots of fun

Welcome, Triggy -- what fun to see your Portugal photos. I especially like the second one -- the fisherman adds so much interest, and the reflections in the wet sand are great! The only thing I would do is straighten the horizon a little. The patterns in the sand on the third one are beautiful too.

Hello Triggy & "Welcome" to a great site and fantastic community, I hope you enjoy your time here and make the most of the brilliant folks here who are always willing to help if they can. Have to say I am impressed with your images, I really like the fourth one a lot and really enjoyed looking at them. I look forward to seeing more of your work over time and hope you have fun here.
Thanks for sharing...
David

Hello Triggy and welcome to DPS! Very good first post, I like the sand pattern and the colors in the last picture a very nice. I would agree with Helen on the second, the horizon does need to be straightened. Keep posting!!
