Hi, I saw another 17 year old (im 17 aswell) who posted his photos and I thought I would do the same thing. Basically I just do photography as a hobby occasionally when I go on holiday or get bored lol! My camera is about 4.5 years old but I dont let it hold me back. So heres the link to my Flickr . So basically If you could spend a minute looking through my photostream, and then give me some feedback or some comments on what I could do better or what You like/dislike that would be awesome.
Feel free to add me as a friend, or give me some comments on my flickr aswell, its a bit sparse.
Thanks

I rreally like the two subway shots, although the second one could be a tighter crop with a little more emphasis on the reclining man, good job

Thanks so far.

I went to your flickr site and did as you asked.

Haha thanks man. Added you as a contact.

NZ Rules!!!!, yeh suprisingly it still manages to put out a few decent photos now and then. Youve got some pretty sweet photos yourself on deviant art, if I could still remember my login I would have posted a comment.

More Comments Still Needed :):):)

Tiles shot:
Looks like an interesting subject, but it somehow appears boring to me.

Different Perspective:
I really like this photo. Great composition.

Sydney Subway:
I love the lighting and place you're taking this photo . . but it doesn't have a subject. When I look at it, I can't tell what you're taking a picture of. My eyes wander from the legs sticking out on the right, to the white ceiling, to the tracks. It feels empty. If you were to have focused on one of the bench-dwellers or the track, maybe it would have been more interesting.

Keep it up.

I'm pleased you haven't let an older camera stop you taking some lovely photos.

You will not struggle to get a good photo in your part of the world - keep pushing yourself.

At the moment they are a little like tourist photos - good - but I think you can do better and I think you will do better. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I have actually taken most of these photos while I have been on holidays, so I guess thats why they have a 'touristy' feel to them.
Cheers

Very nice photos indeed. You seem to have a good eye for shapes, forms etc. which is the starting block of photography.

I couldnt see what camera you used on there, what is it?
