my first pics with new camera

[adammreef]

These are a few pics that I took today with my new camera its a Canon EOS T1I. Ive had it for about two weeks now I know these aren't the best pictures but I'm trying to learn all the features of the camera. Any advice on how the pics look would be appreciated.

I like the white flowers one very nice, Only suggestions is Im not sure if you worked them in photoshop at all, or if you have it on a setting threw the camera, but it seems a lot of these colors are dull.

If you dont mind I went ahead and edited a photo real quick, just to show you a bit of the color that could be shown better to make the photo really pop. Also When I was looking at the photo it said your iso was at 500, unless it was shaded or getting dark out, that may of been why the photo was so light, If your using M mode, make sure your watching your brackets in the view finder to see if your under or over exposed, that will help the photos out a lot, if that happens to be the case here. Other then that man your photos look great like I said, I love flower shots, Ive been going back and forth on picking up that camera, every day it seems to be a struggle lol.

You have a nice stick shift camera so now you need to learn to drive stick. Google shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Come back here with any questions and we will answer them. As mentioned the first image is a little over-exposed. In the first image I would have used a little less ISO personally.

The flower in question is a cleome or spider flower.

Thanks, hopefully with some practice I will be able to do better. How can you tell what setting I'm shooting in and that i used the flash?

Lightroom its a stand alone adobe program for editing photos among many other things like telling what settings and camera were used to take a photo and such. Agreed as well very nice difference in pics since the last batch.

I can tell you used flash just by looking at the image. Otherwise Google "EXIF".
