Technically there's contrast in every photo. Unless it's just entirely one shade of colour :p

My first ever entry taken on my w995 camera phone. Ive just adjusted the curves a bit to darken the image, i dont know if its allowed or not. Im not expecting anyone to be impressed as im a total noob when it comes to pictures and picture editing, but i thought it was quite nice... or the idea is quite nice anyway ;)

#2 - Central Park Wedding

Returned from NYC a couple of weeks ago, what a superb city (will fire up some photos in another thread), took this shot in Central Park as a couple got their weddings photos done.

Cheers. Sunset (about 17:30) in early March. A good time as only a few dog walkers are about then.

Only ever been down there in the height of summer so it's strange seeing it like that. Returned from North Devon/South Wales a bit disappointed: it rained all week, was never sunny or had good light. To top it all off I think I busted a BP-551A batter by charging it with my BP-511 charger, it no longer works in my camera. Will have to try a sneaky return to the retailer methinks.

As such I didn't get nearly as many or as much quality as I would have liked. Will try and post-process the good ones as fast as I can but not sure when that'll be exactly. I'm hoping there's at least a couple of ok ones.

theres something about the way the two of them are looking at each other that just seems to, god i cant put it into words, but it makes me wonder who they are, whats happened between them etc.

very expressive.

or maybe its just me, its the expression on her face, the slump of his shoulders, the apparent age difference, so many other things.

Comments/criticisms more than "welcombed" btw (hrhr), I'm not very happy with above image and we all know I have no technical ability so any guiding points will be taken on board. :)

I like the photo, but that's biased cause i like rust/black combo :p

If it was a sunset'ish, red sky, it would be perfect in my taste, even perhaps painting material.

Can't say much about technique etc, i don't really look at that kind of stuff.

Like that one Wazz; you got a link on where that is so I can research some geography? Looks rather volcanic.
