There pretty good man,I like the dream like water one the first one.Seems like you got a pretty wide angle lens too

Nice piccies Andy

I`d be tempted to crop the second one and see how it looks being symetrical. Great angle though mate.

 

[AJB]

Good stuff Andy, if that's your first try I don't think you have too much to worry about.

Like you saw at cumbria Gary i was just taking snap shots before, I decided to get a tripod and learn a bit more about the camera, because theres no point spending a few hundred on a camera and not using it to its full capacity,

And we had a good time doing it also

 

[Wayland]

A tripod is the most underrated accessory there is.

Good choice.

 

[andywinkk]

To right there, my remote is on its way also so i dont have to touch it at all, i was using the 10 second timer to stop any movement,

Bottom picture could do with the white balance altering a bit.

If it's a raw file it's done in the converter or you could do it in Photoshop.

Looks a bit too blue to me.

I've dove in off that bridge many times, always in summer though...... great snap seeing it eerie in winter.

Well done, for your first go you have done really well! I agree with Wayland (Gary) that the best bit of kit you can get is a tripod, it's be maligned within the photographic community of late, but it is still a most important piece of kit!
