New to this thread! Just got a new camera so what better way to test it out? Take photos of chickens of course!

Any comments on my wedding & rainbow photos?

Funky Feathers, nice job... the rainbow is quite beautiful.
the wedding photos are nice. the only advice I have would be to get a little more in the frame... for instance, the black and white of the bride, the bottom of her dress is cut out and the cross above her head is incomplete, choose to capture the entire scene and crop for different shots, or take separate shots that have the entire cross, and the entire dress.
I've done lots of weddings, and tend to meander and take shots when guests aren't aware they are being photographed as well as getting group shots...it sounds like a lot, but I usually take over 700 photos at weddings... thank goodness for digital cams... i used to spend a fortune on film...
nice job, looks like it was a very special day.

I can't wait. I am waiting for my new (used) camera to come in the mail. I got tired of taking pictures that were , well, not as good as I wanted. So I'm getting an Olympus E-Pen E1 (?) It's a sized down "dslr" with a bigger card inside. Although it's not rated great for other things, it rivals any dslr picture. We'll see. I'll post pics when I take them and we can critique them.

Does anyone rely on a tripod for exceptional pics?

Great shot of the rainbow! Very nice wedding photos. I would probably use a faster shutter speed when people are moving, to help freeze the action more...it would lessen the blur. Also, your ISO might have been too high on some of the outside shots....like the one by the pampas grass. If you shot RAW you can fix that in lightroom. HTH!

Thanks. The ones with the Pompous Grass were edited to look that way. I use GIMP & Pixlr, as I have Linux OS, and can't get Photoshop. I think the ISO was 200 for those.

Dahlias in my backyard. I love these and just had to take some pictures before they died off this year.

I took these this evening on my way home:





















I just got my new Nikon D3000 (body only), now I just need the 18-55mm lens. I bought a macro fisheye lens, but I need the 18-55mm to put it on. Anybody have one for sale?

p.s.~ Lord, I live in a beautiful place!
