Got a camera and these are my first pics.

[organizedrage]

I am looking for some feedback as far as the quality of the pictures. I just got into photography and want a second opinion.

[WestCoastHucker]

i think the 3rd is the best as far as picture quality is concerned...

it may be but the first two are pretty fricken good lookin

Good shots! The second one looks a little over sharpened, theres a pretty solid halo between the riders dark cloths and the light sky.

yeah your right. i didnt notice that.

i will try and get some more pics soon to be critiqued.

The first one is the best just bump up the saturation in the sky. (if you have photoshop you can even duplicate the layer then colorize it to pop the warms and cools and put it as a 15% overlay)

This is a quick tweak i did in ps using the above technique.

and crop probably all of them. maybe just a bit, make sure nothing is too close to the edge, but the tighter the better usually.

An edu version of PS cs3 from a school is $300. The regular version is more like $600. The gimp does the basic things photoshop does, but is free. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP

The reasons the third one isn't so good is because the angle of the photo and flash (on camera) are just boring. You should probably get an off camera flash setup if you really get into photography. Though, I've seen some pretty good stuff done with a built in flash.

Look at photos in magazines to get ideas for composition (the arrangement of the subject and stuff in pics).
