I hope you like my first few pics! I took all these on my property with no classes. EVER. My mom says I'm really good, but I want your opinion. If I'm going to become a photographer, I'm going to have to see if other people like it! If they don't, I will fail. Here we go: I hope you like them!

Those are really good, God's Wolf! You are definitely a natural
How long have you been dabbling in nature photography?? What kind of camera do you use??

Maybe 6 months or more. I haven kept track. I use a Canon PowerShot SD 1200 IS Digital Elph.
I like nature best, and I'll post some sunlight ones I got. Here: I hope you like it. The first one shows a bit of my dad's truck, but that's just part of the pic. :p My mistake. Anyway, I really like the second one. I have a picture of our driveway in fall, summer, spring, and sunlit morning! I can't wait for winter!!

Those are really good, God's Wolf! I REALLY like the second one! (Though I like the first one too, truck and all! You really captured the lighting!)
Do you do any editing on them?? Even just a little enhancing of the colors and stuff helps the quality look richer.
Example: All I did was get on a free editing program on the internet called picmonkey and tweak with the exposure and add some sharpness. I also added a effect called "Boost."
Anywho, I think you're really good and have a great eye for photography! Keep up the good work!

I love picmonkey! I was just picmonkeying Emily to make her look even more awesome!

Thanks guys! Quoting shnoodlec, Two compliments in 2 days, I am on top of the world!

I like your example of my pic Liz'alike. Though, I use my mom's Strictly Business computer, so I can't download anything. Though she lets me use it sometimes.

I want my pictures to be natural though. I want them to be untouched, and clean. I think it's kind of like cheating if you edit it. I mean, seriously. No offense to other photographers, but still. You know?

Yeah! And I just got quoted! Woot woot! Yes!

WOW! Those are really quite pretty! Show me more!!

I totes understand, GW! We all have our own way of expressing our own artistic-ness... We should be allowed to express that! So by all means, do how you like it! I still think you're really talented and have an awesome eye! Keep up the good work

Thanks! Here's one more:

Nice GW! I like it!

That. is. awesome. I love it! Sooooo happy you're posting these!

Thanks guys! I'm glad you like it. I took some more while my hands were still mostly un-frozen. :p Hope you like them! The last one I took at a Civil War re-enactment.

I'm a likin' all of those! I REALLY like the one in the field with the tall grass! The lighting is great!

Thanks all of you!
@ Liz'alike: I'm really thrilled about you thinking they're good because you're a pro.
@Bethany: I'm glad you like them because you're one of my BFFs! P.S. So are you Liz!
@Everyone else: Thank you, thank you, and many more!

Those are really good!
I want to be a photographer someday
(and a vet, and a wrangler, and...)
I SOOO want a Canon Rebel!

@HomeschoolCowgirl: I am homeschooled, and I love horses! Thanks too.
I really haven't been able to do much more since everything that's been going on, and the ones I tried to do wouldn't work. I'll try again later.

I haven't had much time lately, we have a lot going on, and we'll be having tons of company. Hope to join 4H and get into the photography. And spring is here so that means WILDFLOWERS!

Muy Bueno!
