    Smile First photos with new camera...

    I've recently bought myself a Canon EOS 350D after months of saving.
    Still looking to get a decent lens or two.

    Here are three photos I recently took. Only slight level adjustments done in Photoshop.





    Criticism and comments are welcome. I'm definitely looking to become an active member of this forum.

    Yoiks,
    Excellent B&W work, with a very good feeling for photography.

    Why not upload the images under your web space on the galleries and get some more guys and gals involved in giving critique.

    Welcome Compl33t. Congrats on your new purchase and may you have tons of fun with it!

    As for your photograph's I'll leave it up to the "experts" to comment on composition and lighting etc as I know butkus about that. Suffice for me to say: "I like your photos quite a lot. I think your B&W post-work is excellent and shows lots of tonal variation and contrast. Very nice. I like the implied movement of the blurred hands. I also like the pseudo high-key #2 and it could perhap be taken even a bit further by cloning out the lines on the wall and making it brighter even."

    Well done. See you around.

    Very nice. These really appeal to me, and the lighting you used really compliments the photo's.
