Hello, new here, c & c greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

I joined boards sometime last year but never really did much after that so I am really new to the place.

Like all of you I am particularly interested in photography and I would appreciate any comments on my photos. On flickr, I have created a set of my best 20 shots and will constantly change it as I replace the weaker shots with better ones as I improve (I hope).

Any comments and critiques would be very much appreciated. I look forward to chatting with you all here and seeing your work. I've already seen some amazing stuff.

Are you using an Olympus camera ?
Those pics on flickr are really good, what lens & processing did you use ?

Some really nice images in your set there.

One thing I can think of - try to keep your signature/copyright notice to the same place on each image (generally either bottom left or bottom right).

Otherwise, some stunning photos there.

Adore the carousel and eifel tower shot.

Yes using the E500. I see you have the E510 yourself. I bought it with the 14-45 and 40-150 kit. It's a decent camera and set of lenses to learn with.

I use Photoshop CS2 mainly but I recently started shooting mostly in RAW so I use Lightroom 1.4 and then export to CS2 to finish the job.

You've got some nice shots on your own flickr page. i especially like "Gap in Wood". Nice framing.

Some very, very nice images in there Barry.

I'll have a proper look through your photostream when i am not in work but some fantastically striking shots at a glance!

They really are very good...

Thanks for the advice. I had to start watermarking shots as they kept cropping up on external websites without permission. I guess that's the problem with the internet. I also resized everything to 800 pixels on the longest side.

Yeah some great shots there, look forward to seeing more...

echo the above. Some very nice stuff there Barry. Feel free to post a specific question on a specific image if you are wondering about something in particular - otherwise i suspect that it'll be thumbs up from everyone.

Cheers.

I love Paris and that night shot really is the business.

They're all nice and crisp. You have a good eye for it.
