Been busy, so haven't been on the forum much lately, though have been doing some volunteer work with Sea Shepherd the past couple of months. Here's a couple of the photos from my time so far in Hobart, Tasmania. Come from a background in video, though trying to improve my photo skills. Criticism would be appreciated. Thanks

Great shots.
The kangaroo one is hilarious and touching all at the same time.

Thanks for all the feedback! and cool to hear others on here know about Sea Shepherd! Just picked up a 50mm f1.4 Canon FD. getting the hang of manual focusing.

Pretty good work Sam.

I like the sepia tone on the first group portrait shot - good capture.

I think the welder shot would have looked better shot on tripod with a slow shutter speed to streak the sparks a little bit and add some drama.

The closeup of the Cauliflower was amazing....so fractal. I would have preferred to see more of this detail so cropping in / zooming in to this detail would have returned a better image IMHO as the rest of the plant was a little distracting. Still a very interesting image.

Much of the work of a photog these days involves a deft touch in photoshop and post processing techniques...but of course you need to get a workable image to begin with which you have in most of these shots.

Cheers
