Don't be so down on yourself! These are actually pretty good. There are all different kinds of photography! I actually really like a couple of these!

You have potential hun. You need to get a better camera and practice practice practice (and maybe take a class or read a book on photography) and I think you'll produce some amazing art :)

If you call this shit I'm really wanting to see what you call art :)

I know. I don't have enough money to get a better camera which sucks, but I really want to get one,

You shouldn't be blaming your kit for anything. There've been Hollywood blockbusters made on Nokias and frontpage headline images shot on iPhones. You should embrace whatever you have and use it to its true potential; there's a lot more you can squeeze out from more time & practice.
I would definitely re-visit and spend much more time with each subject matter. Experiment, experiment, experiment until you find something you truly love to shoot. Then shoot the hell out of it until you get perfection :)

Thanks again. As I said before, I appreciate the feedback whether it's constructive critism, negative or positive, and I always take that into hand. As I said, I'm going to look for something that has depth and meaning, and then take some shots if that.

Yeah. I'm currently in photography course at university. Heck, it's so hard to find inspiration. I picked up my camera today and started shooting shit but it got nowhere. I'm taking a drive out to the coast within the next week and see where that lies. What sucks is that we're confined to what we can do - we can only use gear supplied by university, we're restricted to what we can and can't shoot, how, where, everything. IMO, this kills art. Oh well.

I was at the beach the other day, and it was perfect for shooting pictures, but I left my camera at home, since I wasn't planning on going to the beach.

Haha! That's how one of my older lenses broke. Don't go with a friend or on a windy day and just be careful at the beach.
P.S it's hard to get anything decent there no matter how good the beach seems. Knowing human nature, I've just ordered some ND step-down filters and I'm heading back out there next week to jinx myself.

Their kinda bad, get rid of the filters and all that and they will be much better
