Can someone check out my photobucket album and tell me what they think?

Thanks!

These are great for a beginner! May I ask what camera you use?

:D Thanks!

I use a really old Canon PowerShot A70. It's a pretty basic digital camera with lens zoom on it.

Not bad, but I think you need some more interesting things to photograph.

I like the angle of the wicker chair picture and think the one of the shed might look nice as a b&w. :)

My middle school had it and being boss of the media team I had one to myself all year lol. It ain't a bad camera really, even if limited in technical capability, it's what you do with it!

It's a good start. The best way to improve is to keep shooting and explore new things each time. Start with things that mean something to you, you'll be more inclined to spend more time with it.

Don't ever go into heavy manipulation or rely on it to improve the appearance of your work.

I'd advise you to look up some basic composition techniques and understand some basic tech jargon too; rule of thirds, juxtaposition, white balance & aperture/DOF are good things to be familiar with if you aren't already familiar. Keep these things in mind as you shoot.

I also like the angle of the wicker chair, and as Julie said, some more interesting subjects could benefit you a lot.

It's pretty clear that you're playing around with composition, so I think you're definitely off to a good start :) Keep shooting and sharing your photos! The more you shoot the better you will get, and the more you share the more constructive criticism you'll receive - which can only benefit you.

The photos are rather boring and some of them dont have any center of focus
