Criticize or rate my pictures? :]?

You can defiantly tell you were bored.There are some photos where you are going in the right direction. More then half are just snapshots of something that was in front of you with no thought of composition. You need to work on different angles, symmetry, cropping, depth of field, and the over all composition of a photo. Some photos the background is to detracting and the positioning could be better. It doesn't matter what kind of camera you have, it might be easier, but you can get a good picture as long as you know the rules of photography. Just keep working on it, and the next time you are bored think about what you are photographing. The rule of thirds will help with the positioning. http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thir...

Lots of random, out of focus snaps that make me think the photographer was just bored and wasting time clicking, well, random stuff.. Take some time to learn a few basics. Weed through your photos and eliminate the out of focus and blurred, and the repetitive ones. Broaden your theme and include some people or interesting things or landscapes. Look further in front of you than two inches. Try to show us what was interesting.

Take a class if possible. Visit the library or bookstore for a book on basic photography and composition. Look at good images and pay attention to the lighting and composition. Continue to learn and practice. Have fun and happy shooting.

Alright. I hate to have to start spewing critique, especially if you're just getting started, but I've done some photo shoots before and learned a few tips about taking a good picture on set.

The main thing to remember is not to get full of yourself. These days, people that that if they just fool around with a camera and take 'artsy' shots it's a good picture. But it takes more than that.

To start off, use the resources that you have access to. Here is a link to some great articles about composition and such that you will benefit from.

My other tips for you are to practice with your camera's settings- And I mean get to know your camera personally! You do not need fancy equipment to take a good picture, but you should know how your camera works.

Always carry your camera with you everywhere, write down ideas for new shots and practice regularly.

Another really well known tip is to 'not overlook mundane subjects for photography'. A photographer needs to be able to look at a scene with a clear mind and create something extraordinary from ordinary things. (Random objects like glasses, ribbon, and rocks work well for this.)

And most of all, remember these six things while taking a picture, because they influence the end result the most;

Color, spatial positioning and composition, direction of attention, focus, exposure.

Good luck.

Think about composition, and be more aware of your environment. I can say these are more snapshots. You can still make great photos on the camera you have now.
