Just took a few shots of Marshall in the woods behind my house, Nikon D60. Still trying to learn; any comments/suggestions are welcomed

A few more shots of Marshall. I'm trying to get better with my camera, any comments are welcomed

I think those are great shots of your boy. I like that you get down to his level to take the shot. In a couple of the shots you cropped off his tail or foot.

Wonderful shots! There is something about a golden in black and white that is unique and just beautiful. I like the last picture the best with the amber color?

Your boy is outstanding!

Great shot and a beautiful golden. There are many rules in photography but the really great artist don't care about any rule. ( Every rule is made to be broken )

Some rules

Like Oaklys Dad said; don't crop a foot, tail or any thing if it is only a very small piece. Crop firm or don't.



The rules of thirds is another one You first photo would look like this : (I used a part of your photo to make it more wide)

Great pictures of your beautiful boy-I am a big fan of B & W shots, really like yours.

Thanks! I have always liked shots at the same level as the subject, it seems more natural looking to me. After I posted, I realized where I had cropped...thanks again for the comments!

Thank You! I love black and white photos as well and the Amber (Sepia).

Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately the image did not display, can you explain the rules of thirds?

Thanks for the kind comments...I am slowly learning how to use my camera Getting better and it sure is a lot of fun, especially enjoying time with my Golden!!
