Hey /p/, first-time poster here.

Recently I got back from a holiday in the Scottish Borders, I thought I'd share some of the photos I took with my old-but-trusty Coolpix 885.

First up, generic countryside vista.

Next up, the beach.

Some shell... things. Not sure if they were alive or not.

This and the next two are my favourites, some macro shots of barnacles.

And finally, another rock-pool.

Macro shots of barnacles should go to the "scary" thread below. Eeeewww.
Of the others,>>61822is the only one I like, the rest are boring; but at least you posted files of manangeable size and resolution, that alone makes you better than 90% of first-time posters here.

The cloudy light leaves a lot of these very flat looking, with boring color. Of the three barnacle shots, number 2 is the best, the contrast emphasizes the texture and it forms a pattern over the entire frame. The other barnacles, and those shells (they look like muscles?) could do with a more oblique angle of view to emphasize the texture and shape.
Mm, both rock pool shots could do with a wider angle to frame. And preferably a polarizer to kill the surface glare.

I know what you mean - once you've seen a few sunlit countryside shots or the like, you've seen them all, really. I just threw them in for the sake of completeness.
>>61836
I agree with you on the barnacles - #2 was my favourite too, I reckon I just need to play about a bit more with composition. As for the rockpool shots, you're right in retrospect, portrait was a daft orientation to use.

Thanks to both of you. ( '_')b

I actually meant that the crop is too tight. Zoom out, or back up. Portrait orientation looks like it could work fine.
