Most edits I used to do were saturation and sharpness and a mate showed me how to tweak them in-camera which makes a huge difference!

I am mostly taking them for the fun of it, and I enjoy putting them on the site and having them displayed in a nice way, anything else is a bonus really!
Hey 98Kellrs, I went to a beginners course from Kelvin Choong Camera Club Digital Photography Courses Model Workshops, Studio Hire, Perth Western Australia today got a good scoopon deal so decided to try it out. I had picked up a few tips from him today and the rest was just the same as other courses I had enrolled myself in the past. its had to cram basics into 8 hrs which he tried to do. One tip was if you take photos and people say WOW thats good, who do they compliment first ? its the camera as they think its the camera that is good 2nd is you and thats true.

A good example is like if you in a dinner event you take great shots and you show the couple the shots, they will say WOW thats so good " how much do you want me to pay you for that photo" ? and it all starts from there. When someone is willing to pay for a photo they know its worth something and you know your taking a good shot and are on a roll.
