How timely! Thanks to TA in a similar thread, my interest in photography has really eaten up a lot of my time recently. I started with a cheap sanyo point and shoot that had a dead battery from 5 years on the shelf. Well, yesterday Canada Post delivered to me a Canon T4i with a 18-135mm lens. Overwhelming @ 1st but I’m starting to “get” it. Anyways, I just did this:[http://i.imgur.com/u2KUnOl.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/u2KUnOl.jpg) a few minutes ago, then found your thread. Great fun! ---

wow the flowers really compliment the berry berry colorway! I’m starting on a Nikon coolpix S570. it gets the job done and I updated and posted all my BST pics which was long overdue. ---

Thanks, I was too chicken to get creative so, I left the camera on autopilot. Maybe I’ll go back @ sunset and give another try. Ang yes…yoyos do make the “best subjects”! ---

Just do a google “rule of thirds” wrt to photography. That’ll help yo big tyme when it comes to photo composition. ---

Those are awesome, especially the second one, the colors really compliment each other. I don’t like the first one as much because the yoyos seem to be tipping every which way, they don’t seem quite unified. ---

When the yoyo is that small in your picture, don’t follow rule of thirds. You want it off-center for sure, but not that much. ---

Point taken. That pic was taken in RAW then cropped in Photoshop. Maybe I’ll zoom in again on the og RAW pic and recropp it slightly off center. ---

DId you make that melted crayon canvas thing? It looks very cool either way! I think you should get a bunch of colors of yoyos and put them on that. ---

And yes I did make the crayon thing. It’s really fun you hot glue a bunch of crayons on a canvas and take a hair dryer of newspaper and melt the crayons it’s a lot of fun. Ill try to get all the colors of the rainbow an work from there. I think I have enough I’ll look Edit:only need orange ---
