First thanks for your advice.
I'm using an Olympus C5050 (with an UV polarizing filter). It's not a bad camera but it has a fixed (no SRL) wide zoom lens (5.7 ~ 22.9) which is great for taken photos of things like flowers, objects or a portrait of a person not that far away but not really good for landscapes and things further away. It probably can be done better than I shoot them but I'm still learning.
Um, still learning and saving some money to buy a good SRL. I was thinking of a Canon but I'm still orientating/ looking around. Won't be long though. |
SRL with UV polarizing filter? Must be a new type of camera out then.  |
I am sure you were new to photography at one time, and I am sure you did not always have the knowledge of what a SLR is and the difference between a UV and polarizer.
But I think this thread is just to share random photos, so it dosent matter if you dont know anything about photography and just used a disposable camera or a high price SLR, doesnt really matter how much you know. |
There's a difference between being new to something, and pretending to be an expert on a subject when in reality you don't know much. The former can be helped, the latter is just plain annoying. |
Sorry if I seemed to be "pretending to be a expert" I am far from a expert, and I really didnt mean to come across like that, so sorry, didnt mean to be annoying to anyone, didnt mean to come across as the know it all type 
sorry for messing up your thread Erminea

You didn't Roadracer, you didn't.... He probably meant me. But hey....
For me photography is a very likable/ enjoyable hobby and I'm learning piecemeal and some well meant advice is always welcome.
Back to the photographs.

Well, I guess that "pretending to be an expert on a subject" and you yourself have something in common then. |

Afraid I'll point out your hypocrisy eh?
You always try to be the expert Patsy. You always fail. |

Can you guys take your debate elsewhere? You're ruining the serene feeling of my pictures.
Just kidding  |

Did you know that erotic moose are camera shy? I suppose they're afraid of publicity.  |

I don't pretend to be an expert. 
Also, hypocrite. |

This is next doors puppy that wandered into my room one day.
I don't have any photos of how he lay down in my lap and fell asleep
or chewed my fingers
or pissed on my floor,
(obviously I was preoccupied at the time)
but goddamn he was cute!
He went home.
I thought I saw him the other day and he was freaking huge!
(That's why I don't let puppies stay long.)
Anyway these are some of the photos I took that day :
BWAAAH!
I want him back!
