Greenery in my yard

Chillie (Henry) · #1 23-02-2010, 09:43 PM

Today was my first day out in the yard with my new Canon EOS 450D DSLR. So the quality isn't perfect.

I thought I would show you some of the plants in my yard and a few other shots. I hope to be more creative with them in the future.

All shots are hand held. Most using the basic Closeup setting. All using Automatic Focus. Some used flash.

I am not looking for praise or tips on how to improve my shots. There are 19 here. One picture wasn't worth uploading.

Thanks for viewing.

Great to see you up and going with the camera Henry. Give the manual focus a go.

... And some more but that's all.

Thank you David. Based on the results, manual focus would have got the right parts of the pictures in focus.

I own a 35mm SLR but the controls on the DSLR are a bit different. When I'm more familiar with the way the DSLR works, I'll be able to be more creative with my shots.
