Blindly Ever Onward

Agreed. Some are downright blurry. Also, the first two are really washed out. The third one is by far the best.
| Only ones are really blurry are 1) the background behind the pony, which i like the effect of. 2) the world/inferno shot, and shooting a punk show from the audience is very had with a great camera, imagen doing it with a point and shoot... And blurrness in photos has worked out before to create a neat effect. I have this one photo on my wall thats titled "Drunken Mosh Pit" and it really makes you feel disorientated and dizzy. I dont know if you have ever been shit faced at a punk rock show, but i captured the feeling pretty good. As for the first two being blown out, thats fair. I took those photos shortly getting the camera, before i knew anything about photography.(still don't know a lot) The second one got published in some coffee table reader, my mom has it somewhere. Not to interested in getting published, like not at all. I have an visual art mind, drawing and some painting, and thats maybe why my pictures are a bit different and lack a focus. That is if you ment a subject focus and not a physical camera function focus. I like using line to create eye movement. And most of my pictures accomplish this if you like me or not. I also like asymmetrical weight and in art and photos. Which 7 of the photos have. I guess i could 'fix' my photos with photoshop or something, but i dont know how and i actually get turned off by the few jerks that over use it.

| | | I am not trying to be a dick, but they are all soft or blurry. For example, here is your picture of the horse Here is a picture of mine of a cat (taken with 400 film) This isn't a great comparison because it was shot at F2.8, but still, I believe there is a distinct difference in sharpness and detail. You can make out individual hairs, etc. The eyes are sharp, which is typically preferable with the living. I don't think you see it, but these pictures, for example, are not sharp and photoshop will not help. It is something that has to be considered when taking the photo the interest, with flower photos especially, lies in the details and there aren't many because of the softness. If you don't want to go the tripod route I would suggest increasing your speed by either increasing your iso or speeding up shutter. I wouldn't comment, but you are in the critique forum.

| | | Posted by Tamara as said before its a point and shoot, so auto focus. Even when i change it to manual i only have two options: F2.6 and F5.6.
| Uh, F-stop refers to your iris on the lens (size of opening), not focus point. A quick review about photography:ISO: Speed of film (or how quick your picture is processed) F-Stop: Shutter or Iris size (F5.6: wide opening)(F22: tiny opening) ## mm: View your lens covers (eg: 18-55mm is the standard for most lenses) ## ft: Allows you to focus on the distance of a subject (eg: object is 30 feet in front of you, so adjust the focus ring to 30 feet to gain maximum focus point) As for point & shoot (P&S) cameras, most and many do not have a manual focus unless you have an external lens attached. It may help to invest in a cheap tripod for your P&S, and that will allow you to point your camera at the object, steady it for best picture quality, push the shutter button down half way to focus on object, then push fully to activate the shutter (take the picture). Trust me when I say that a P&S can be your best friend and an excellent tool for beginner photographers if used correctly. Take a look at my Flickr page, and most of the older pictures were done with a P&S. Heck, I still use my P&S for many pictures that require shots that a normal DSLR cannot perform, including macros and tight spaces. Good luck, and don't give up.
