C&C First attempt

bluto63

So I've only just taken up photography, admittedly it was forced upon me as a college project, but I grew fond of it. Here's a collection of my first couple of photographs, I'd love to hear any advice etc.
Used an analog Praktica camera that was given to me with black & white film, can't remember the specifics(even what the technical terms are!:o 400 something or other...)

2&4 are the best IMO

Bit of over-exposure in a few but you seem to have a good eye for patterns and the likes.

Yea, I'm still trying to work out the aperture and exposure time. I need to get myself a light metre. Cheers though

I really like 4 and 6. I'm not a huge fan of the whole sterile urban thing but I love 4 because it leaves you spacially disorientated for a while, 6...I think I like the pigeons.

I also love me some symmetry.

The 400 is probably the ISO, which is why they're grainy. Usually works well for black and white. Also you should probably get a flickr account, imageshack is horrible.

Yea, 4 would be one of my favourites. It is the ISO I was trying to think of, but couldn't remember the name! And good advice on the Flickr account, already set one up! Cheers.

OP, Please upload your pictures to a host that allows you to display the images correctly on this forum.
Pix.ie is a good place to upload them. Imageshack performance is terrible & requires people to leave the forum.
