Playing around with the new camera

[SKremk]

Here are a few macros I took with my new camera. It's a Canon XSi with a 100mm macro lens. These aren't the best photos compared to what I've seen from other people here, but I'm just starting to play with all the settings, so hopefully I can get it figured out....

Off to a great start. Experiment and prosper young padawan.

+1 for the great start. I suggest dropping your ISO, sharpening more in post processing and avoiding center composition.

^Yeah what he said^
If you move the subject up, right, left, or down it will generally be more interesting. There are exceptions and you are the artist. This is your painting. I do think you should (google image) "rule of thirds" though. You will quickly see what we are referring to.

great start (I'm not a photographer or anything but I can recognize good pics ) and the rule of thirds is a good thing to consider, we learned about it in art class (im still in high school)
