Today is a really, really big day for me! Today is the day I post my first photo online taken with my brand new camera!
I love that it’s for the Earthmosaic project. And I love that I have an image I’m relatively happy with. But please, I am no photography expert, in fact, I wouldn’t even call myself a photography amateur, so please feel free to critique the shot.
After threatening for the longest time, I finally bought my camera on Saturday. And I love it! It’s a Olympus E-410 DSRL, my first SLR camera — the smallest SLR on the market. It takes pics so fast! No horrible delay like from my digital point and shoot. And I can take action shots from within a moving car and actually get a halfway decent shot. Awesome!
This pic was taken from my back deck, looking out over our townhouse development. We just moved here and I haven’t yet found a permanent place for my chimes yet. So for now they are hanging from the birdfeeder pole.

I like it a lot! Love the colours in the sky.
It would have been better if you’d taken it further down, like from lying on the ground… so that the chime were suspended in the air.
Love the colours of the sky – also agree with J – then you can see most of the chimes as well against the beautiful sky.
