    My first photos! :)

    I played with my brand spankin' new Canon 300D today, and I thought I'd post my very first photos!

    They're seriously nothing special, but I'm happy with the colours the camera produced, and had my very first play with Photoshop too... Not so happy with my dodgy garden, but then that's never been quite my specialty.

    Just wanted to share!

    I like the second one a lot, and that last one is just unique! Hope to see you shooting more!

    Re: My first photos! :)

    Thanks guys.

    As for the third one, I still don't really know about that one. I didn't add the spectrums in Photoshop, Axle - but when I brightened the colours slightly, they appeared like magic!

    I still don't know if I love it or hate it, but something about it fascinates me slightly. So I thought I'd introduce it here!

    Re: My first photos! :)

    if you look at the shape of the white space just above and to the right of the spectrum, you can almost make out shapes and images... first it's a man, now it's a bunny, then it's a puppy's paw ...

    Or is it just me being up too late?

    Congrats on your new camera, and if you're like me (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) you'll love it!

    I love the faint blues and purples revealed in the white flower. Good DOF too.

    Interesting...I've never encountered that before.

    As for the shape above it....I could see a bunny, but that's about it.

    Very nice first image post Miffy. You show a very good eye and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Your second image is my favorite of this batch. Thanks for sharing them with us.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks heaps for the nice comments, Old Timer, Kelly, Axle and Rick!

    You've all helped to make posting photos a not-so-scary thing!
