Would be grateful for some feedback as I'm trying to learn as much as possible, still very much an enthusiastic ameture trying to capture my son growing up *very quickly*!! Anyway I always shoot in M can't seem to get good results or results I want in A or S, probably because I've not had to really use them as I normally have plenty of time to try and set up the camera, it also forces me to learn quicker.

Hopefully I can use this thread to post pictures as I go along and would be a nice catalogue of progress (for the better).

All constructive criticism is welcome as it will only help me to learn so don't feel the need to hold back because of etiquette or something :) I've not ventured into shooting RAW yet as I don't have any editing software or really the time at the moment to spend processing the picturess, but more importantly I want to concentrate on learning to take pictures correctly in the first place and make sure I have the basics right.

The camera I'm using is a D5200 with a 35mm f1.8 prime lens, the pictures have been uploaded onto facebook so have been compressed.

Here are some pics from a recent family wedding....

Bit of fun with selective colour on the camera....

The first thing I notice is that you are centering your subject in pretty much every shot. Moving your subject off-center is a good way to make the photo more engaging. Start learning about composition; read and apply everything you can. Good composition is what separates a powerful image from a boring snapshot.

Thanks, I have to admit I had read about the rule of thirds before and it's something I need to incorporate depending on the setting when I'm taking photos, thanks for the link - it was a quick refresher to the photography for dummies book I've read lol.
