Reply To: So, am I doing Ok for a beginner?

I agree with your last paragraph, that bird photo you linked was done on iPhone apps, hence the crudeness of it, and just in the last few weeks “literally” I started watching many youtube vides of how to get the most out of Lightroom 4, as I’ve been using it for awhile without really knowing how to use it.

Ive been taking random shots regularly and trying to learn PP in Lightroom for practice.  But I disagree with some of the saturation comments, the bridge pic, point taken, but as of late, I’m liking flower photography a lot, and the style I do with them, is my preference, weather some think its too salty or not.

Everything I’m doing ATM is about figuring out what things do, being camera and software, but at the same time I’m figuring out what I like and what I don’t.

And I agree with you, if I ask for opinions, I’m going to get them, which is why I responded with the comments about why I had to ask in the first place.

Im in a situation where I know no one who knows anything about photography, I have no one to show me where I’m going wrong or right. But the majority of stuff,I like what I do, and that’s all that counts.

Remember, it’s for me, no one else
