    I'm a wee bit embarrassed by these since yours are all so pro, but here are a few I've taken recently. Any hints and tips for bettering these would be most welcome.

    You scanned those right ? So you own an analogue camera ?
    I'd advice you to get a digital one. Make sure it has a macro feature (for photographing close-by things).
    Lastly, by not centering your subject you'll make your photograph more appealing. Just offset it a bit

    Edit: You can always adjust the brightness and/or contrast a bit in photoshop or paintshop as well.

    Alas, I'll just have to fiddle with my aperture since the EmmZ penny jar wont stretch to a digital camera

    for example...Cosmic's travelers' photo is quite enticing...but it just lacks that color integrity and variation of red that one would wish to see...also top right of the photo has some sort of white glare...mainly one should have large prints, with intense color variation of 1 million colors or so...and make sure there are no glares...

    Try holding your breath underwater while composing this!

    I think it's a surrealist attempt to depict the emptiness of existence.

    or the photo above, very enticing indeed coral reefs...but it just lacks the color intensity and light balance one would expect to see...the fish are a bit fuzzy...so the camera need to do a quick snapshot allowing the movements to be discarded and make sure everything looks crisp.

    ...nitrox anyone...scuba diving? At age 21...I have already got a scuba diving license, and since you are enticed to be nature adorer than shall we say why not become a scuba diver yourself?

    No, I had scuba gear but was using flash with slow shutter speed, that's why the slight blur.

    well than...get one of those high speed cameras...that use the metal oxides to capture digital images at speeds of 1 per like 10,000th of a second.

    Look cosmic...ate your age and status I would expect you to have at least 5k somewhere tucked away for something important as this...to get a new photography equipment. Its time to wake up, shine, and realize that time is of issue...and make dreams possible.

    Not for me any longer. I have lung problems now that I didn't have then plus my eyesight isn't what it use to be either. I sold everything I had and now own a Samsung 6 MP digital with 3X zoom. I'm not getting back into that any longer.

    Are you giving up just like that?!

    there is a possibility of attaching a camera to a metal rod and lowering it down and taking pictures that way.
