always open to critism/pointers/etc. thanks.
1) nah, never taken a manual exposure. i've always just exposed for the highlights and then adjusted the photo in lightroom later. will have to read up on how to do a manual exposure reading. i force myself to shoot in manual mode because it makes me pause and think about all of the settings rather than just one. maybe its a wrong way to learn, but just how i do it.
2) i was going for that effect. crisp front and blurred background. i did the opposite here:

3) thanks. i really like that one. i think my mum wants to get a canvas done of it. but i told her no, its not good enough. lol.
honeymoon was in NZ. all those photos were taken in either Rotorua or Huka Falls.
4) yes. now that i've noticed the dust spots, i'll be going back through all of them and cloning/healing them out. annoying the shit outta me.
i'll have another go at editing. this was one of the last photos i edited, so you're probably right, i probably missed something.
5) thanks.
6) yeah i get what you're saying. i was trying to show how there was this massive rock wall surrounding the pit, but because the steam was so intense and dense i couldn't get the back of the wall through the steam, so thought this would show it. obviously not though! haha.
thanks again for the pointers. anyone else?
on a side note, one of the guys at work saw the pics last night and then said to me this morning "holy shit ash, those pictures really show how much weight you've lost". *not sure if compliment or insult* lol
