I don't really have many photos, least of all decent ones but I really like this one. Taken on top of Mont Juic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montju%C3%AFc) in Barcelona.

Great view

Looks like I have another 70,000 photos to take then before I start getting decent ones...

This is probably one of my favourite, maybe not my best though. I haven't bothered editing it because I don't think there's anything I can do with it.



I was testing my Sigma 18-200, seeing how good it was at macro. This was taken at 200mm.

Some great photos in here. I wish I had a camera, or even knew where to start in regard to buying a good one.

Do not underestimate the power of post processing! You can take those already vibrant colours, and make them OUTSTANDINGLY vibrant, you can probably sharpen it a bit as well but don't go over board with that.

Very nice colours and composition. I am impressed with the Sigma 18-200mm!

With regards to image resolution, 5MP is more than enough for a decent image. Unless you want to make prints larger than A4 then it's unlikely you'll ever need more than that. My first compact digital camera was only 2MP, and I still have some shots I really like from that.

I know it's a cliche, but there is some truth in saying that taking a decent photo is 90% seeing an image, and only 10% quality of equipment. Thus the best way to improve your photographs is to practise.

The limitations in your phone cam will be that you have next to no control over the image settings, but that shouldn't stop you going out and taking some pleasing shots. Would like to see any good results.

Agreed. Where I work we selling off some old stock... A Polaroid i733 with 7megapixels.

My £500 camera setup is 6 megapixels, but I get much, much better results. For £100 extra I could have had the same camera, but with a 10 megapixel sensor... I didn't think it was worth it. I've printed off some very nice 12x8's with my camera.

The problem with a cameraphone is they use tiny image sensors (CCD). This results in 'noisy' images in anything but bright outdoor light, and quite often the pictures are blurred because the flashes are poor.

For good photos on a cameraphone, make sure there is a lot of light on your subject, and try to balance the phone on something so it's held still.

I'm currently really pleased with how this one turned out:



The problem I had with this one was that I really wasn't sure how to crop it.

Also quite liking this one, it's in the crematory at Terezin concentration camp.



Any comments/criticism would be more than welcome.

Thanks, I got muddled, again

And Ghost, I really like both of the pictures, moreso the top one though.

I wouldn't change the first one at all.

I love that pigeon photo - it's so unusual. Great shot!

[Nitrus]

This is my best non-retouched photo from recently.

This is in Kenya on safari. I am still a amateur photographer, and use a Nikon D40 DSLR. I am an advanced photoshop user and will post more photos later.
