Hi all,

I bought my 400D around this time last year. Before the 400D, i owned a Canon IXUS 750 for about 3 months and a Fuji S9600 for about 2 weeks then sold it off.

I've put together some of the best shots i've taken and would like some feedback from you. I will appreciate any feedback on things you think i need to improve, e.g. composition, post processign etc. and what you think of the photos in general.

Here is my gallery.

All photos upto page 14 were taken with the 400D and the 17-85mm lens. Page 14 to 17 were taken with the IXUS.

I dont own any other lens other than the 17-85mm but will be buying the 50mm 1.8 next week hopefully as i think it might be usefull.

Thanks

well the pics get better as they go along but a lot of them are sooo dark and muddy it's hard to tell what's happening. Also, your lens has some big curvature going on that you cn fix in PS, check out the houses of parliament shots and look how much the tower on the left is leaning inward.

But on the whole, they're ok. Very snapshotty, but nothing special and I think in London there's a whole side of things you could have explored other than the touristy changing the guard stuff.

1 thing that stodd out was the eagle memorial thing- the composition on this was so boring I had no sense of the place or where it was, how tall it was etc and I think if you had included more of the surroundning area in the crop it would have made a bigger impact.

but saying that, some of the shots are nice- the parliament and eye shot is cool and the London Bus one is cool too.

Don't expect many mroe replies to this as you have 300 pics... why nto whittle it down to 30 and then see what happens?

They are really dark, and Big Ben looks like the leaning tower of pissa. that is so weird, how did you do that?

Good night shots though.

In fact it is pretty informative a tourist would love to see these to know where to go and not go. There really dark though, can you lighten them in PS a little bit.
