Hey guys. I am fairly new to photography as I bought my first camera about 3 weeks ago. I snapped apicture with my camera and wanted some thoughts or comments about it. I do not have any editing software so I could not crop the image any. The link is to the picture hosted on my own website . Thanks in advance for the looks and comments.

Edit: There are no pop-ups.

Anyone?? I just want some critiques?

Thx
 
Very nice picture -- good detail overall with a nice depth of field -- helps highlight the most important part of the scene.

MUCH better than the pic I tried taking of a squirrel a while back. :)
 
not a bad photo but it could have done with a better location, i find the background fairly detailed which makes it sort of a distraction. the sunlight also looked fairly harsh as of all the shadows etc.

fairly good photo composition wise and theres nothing to complain about with the quality.


7/10 :p
 
Thanks for the comments. Here is the most relevant exif data

Using Nikon 1.5x tele-converter
Shutter Mode priority
1/500th sec. F 4.2
ISO 100

Handheld while leaning against a vehicle. It was spur of the moment, you can see the cats eyes are starting to open, as soon as they did he was gone. caught him laying in my grandmothers planter...feisty little cat.

Here is a second picture of my grandfather with the same cat. He was standing under the edge of the garage so there is both shadow and sunlight affecting the shot dramatically. Please more comments and critiqes are appreciated. The same Settings of the cat pic were used here for this picture.

http://members.shaw.ca/gurux/squirrel2.jpg -- I don't really like this one -- didn't compose the shot good enough IMO (a little tricky, considering as soon as he spotted the camera, he was off in a flash)...... although I admit I had just received the camera a day before, and was still learning the basics of it

well i think you did a pretty darn good job considering the lighting your explained. the composition is wonderful and full framed, the bokeh is also quiet satisfying.

congrats :p
 
Awww... he's soo cwute.. :D

Good shot, considering the "squirrliness" of the subject.
ok ok, enough bad puns! :p
 
Good pics. You might try using faster ISO speeds when shooting the squirrels as, they like to move. Also set the shutter speed as well. I have my camera set for single focus as well, otherwise it keeps adjusting in AF.
 
One thing to remember: The rule of 3rds. When composing an image look at it twice and move the subject off-centre so it is either in the 1st 3rd or the 2nd 3rd of the frame. If say, your cat is facing to the right, position the cat 1/3 from the left of the frame. This will make the image look a lot better. Having a subject in the centre can come over to be be very direct and in your face, use it when you want to show a lot of emotion such as someone with a huge grin on their face for example, also using 3rds can give the image greater depth and feeling to the environment around it.
