New Photography

Hi all!

I am recently new to photography, and have just got my hands on a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED Lens and a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens.

If any of you looking at my work see anything that you think I am doing wrong then please let me know, as I want to learn as much as I can. I am trying to get as much practice as I can so I am normally adding work all the time, and you can't improve without trying out new things!

some of my favorite shots so far:



Yeah i know sunset shots are easy to do, but i just think these came out really well!

here is some other stuff I have been trying out:





I am off to the Lake District for the weekend on the 7th 8th of October and i hope to get in a lot of practice, and hopefully will get some decent landscapes and wildlife shots, trying and testing loads of techniques that I have been reading about, so don't forget to visit after then and see the results!
