Anachic's photostream  

I've been a point & shoot photographer for many years, basically taking average photos of holidays, etc. But recently have got a bit more serious in trying to understand more about what makes a good photo and how I can start making some :-) I've been encouraged by some friends saying that my photos are 'good' so have invested in a better camera and have been reading up on photo creativity, although part of me is resistant to just understanding formulas for photos, I still want to experiment and find my own style.

I have also (ambitiously) started a one-photo-a-day this year (2009) - which has been stretching me both creatively and my understanding of my camera. I joined a local photography group and was asked what kind of photos I like to take. I didn't really have an answer then, so I'm trying to see both what I like to look at and what I like to shoot.

I've joined a few Flickr groups where I can post some that I think are of good enough quality. I think that I especially like the urban street photography but am new to this so am still a bit nervous about it.

I have two cameras - my trusty Canon IXUS 400 and my Canon EOS 400D, which I've added a wide-angle Sigma 10-20mm and a zoom Canon 70-300mm DO IS. I think next I need to get a prime lens for doing some portrait-type photos next!

That's about enough of me (well definitely all that I'll reveal on here). Take a look at my photos ... and let me know what you think...

[26/04/10 Update] Well, I've bought myself a Canon 7D and a 18-200 lens for it ...
