I agree with Spare, LOVE that tree!!!!!
Is that a frog? nice detail on all of them

I love pictures. Those are wicked, the tree is so cool, so is the eye of the frog. The second one gives me the feeling that everything is about to slide right off the picture. You have some real talent, is this a hobby or do you do it professionally?
When I grow up, I want to be like YOU! Amazing photos! Where did you find those subjects? Did you establish those scenes yourself?
I just inserted photography into my growing roster of hobbies, and bought a Powershot SX130IS. I like it but I have a few concerns about it. I'd appreciate responses on this from anyone who knows what the deal is.
So, there is this weird choppiness/lag (motion) in the LCD when operating with the flash up under certain conditions, mostly low light.
Also, the vision (LCD) is a bit snowy/grainy when operating in picture modes. It's very strange but neither of these two issues occur in movie/video mode. In movie mode, the image quality through the LCD seems perfect to me. In picture modes, while that snowy LCD effect exists, this doesn't influence my pictures (just makes me wonder if I'm going to take a good picture or not).

Thx pll, this is only a hobby and I'm still only begining to understand photography. I only have aim & shoot camera so I limited by what I can do with it. The image of the eye is that of an African bullfrog, mean little suckers. Looking back I should have taken a reference photo to indicate it's size.
@jjam: I'm still very new to the technicalities of photography, use to be a happy snapper till only recently. But listening to what you're saying it sound like your problem is the lighting when taking the photographs. If you want to learn about photography go to this site.

The tree is also one of my favorites.
@jjam: Was thinking some more about your post. Don't really know about the camera you have but was wondering if you are taking photo's in manual mode or Automode. For a beginner automode is best. The grainyness can be caused by a high ISO setting. Low light is not easy on photographs. You need the camera to be perfectly still as shutter speed will be slower. which in turn can lead to blurry photo's. It will be easier for me to tell what is wrong if I can look at the images self. If you e-mail them to me I can take a look. Looking at photo's through the viewfinder is not a good indication of how they came out,you need to load them to your pc first. If taking photo's with the flash instead of just pressing the shutter button sqeeze it and hold it in until the photo is done taking. Also holding the camera firmly with your arms tucked agains your side will help to keep it more stable. Remember that even talented photographer once took bad photo's, they just learned how not too. You can have the best camera on the market and still take bad picture, it's technics that makes the diffrence.

Wow those are beautiful! I love the tree Such a good angel. And the black and white with the wedding pic is a beautiful contrast. What kind of camera do you have?

Samsung Digimax S630. It's one of those point & shoot cams. I'm going too save up for a bigger camera. At some point if I want to improve I will have too. There's a lot of things the one I have just can't do. My father says that pushing your ability in being creative to over come the limits you camera will only make you better. Where ppl with a hi-tech camera will never need to push their creative abilities as much as the one with the cheap camera.
Thanks for the response, ladysphinx.
It's not the images it's producing that's the problem. Any shot I'm dissatisfied with I attribute to me being a novice. The problem is with the Live Display between shots. In other words, it is what I am seeing through the LCD before I take pictures. This graininess (when camera's still and in motion) and sometimes choppiness (when in motion) seen in the Live Display is experienced when the camera is set to any mode except video/movie mode. In video mode, the Live Display is sharp... just really super clear. No grain, no lag or choppiness. I'm wondering why such is not the case when I select another mode with the dial.

@jjam: It's quite intresting, but it could just be the model. If you want to you can check out reviews of your camera make and model and see if this is a normal thing for it, it possibly could be. I now my dads cam tends to look misty when viewing the viewfinder while taking perfectly fine photo's.
