Wow, I love this forum. Been watching what everyone is posting here the last couple/few weeks, and it makes me wish I had the money for a halfway decent camera... But until then, I'll just oogle at everyone elses pictures

That's some beautiful scenery, where were those taken?
I don't know enough to 'critique' the pictures themselves, but I like them

BTW, I 'took' the one with the town on the edge of the water for a desktop when I decide to change it next.

The scenery is doublessly beatiful, but I must say that the pictures need work, even from my non-professional point of view.

First of all, they all seem 'cut off.' There is no subject. A piece of a mountain here, a cloud there, a bit of a lake over there... and what's that triangular roof-shaped object doing in the lower left corner of the last picture?

A suggestion for imporvement - Try to pick a subject, or several subjects, which fit into the frame entirely. Also, using a wider lens helps (that is a lens which takes a greater angle). Scenery looks gorgeous when u shoot at wide angle. Most of the images u're showing though, look as if they were taken with a telephoto lense. It'a no-no when shooting mountains : )

And why would u want to show off something that had been rejected, anyway?

Any chance we can see the images that they did use? : ) I mean, it's not like you're gonna get sued for showing ur (in the sense that u took them) pictures without charging money for it : )

OKies,

First up Lord_Fukutoku:Thanks, if ya want it at another resolution and in a bmp format let me know, these are compressed jpegs, so there is some quaity loss when i resized and compressed them.. So just let me know and i will put it up on my server...

Second off Asptamer:Sorry i can't show you the ones they kept, as i assigen the rights to those photo's as is normally the case 100% of the time when doing commercial shoots. Therefore although i took the original photo's they are no longer mine to display or use.

And sorry, but yes i could and probably would get sued for showing images that are no longer mine to do so with... They were sold along with all the rights to them.

Now lets get down to your points, thanks for taking some time to look at them =)
1.I know what a wide angle lens is

2.Now for subject matter or composition for a better word ; These were done for a specific purpose ie they were for a travel brochure/hotel guide, The bits of mountains etc that you refer to are actually well known local landmarks that they specifically wanted focussing on.

Now as i said at the beginning these were the rejects, and i know they were lacking in different areas, or they would have brought these aswell as to why would i show rejected photo's why not? although not perfect i think they show some of the beautiful scenery where i live and wanted to share them.

oh yeah one more thing that triangular roof shaped object ...its a roof!!! and yes it shouldnt have been there but then again at least ya spotted it

edit:just had a nose round ya gallery got a few nie bits of work there
