It was my birthday recently, and my brother Jonathan bought me a camera, a Canon EOS 500N to be precise. These are my photos from the first day of ownership, so don’t prepare to be impressed, they’re all experimental!…First of all, I attempted some tinkering with the aperture to give a nice blurry background.

The next shows an attempt at a long exposure pic.

Fountain

The next two are portraits, again fiddling with the aperture.

Oliver

This next one, I have no idea whether this counts as a good photo or not! Either way, it’s a long exposure of my cat.

Vanilla

This one was taken with a short shutter speed to try and get the individual water drops.

Fountain

Yet more portraits, trying to get using the aperture nailed..

Jonathan and Vanilla

Used a Polariser filter here, to remove the glare from the water to view the tadpoles.

Being sneaky with the focusing.

More White Blossom

Well, got to say, I’m very impressed with this camera (really, I have to, Jonathan will see this  ). Hopefully my attempts in the future will come out with a little more skill, but I like these ones anyway!
