I'm just a newbie digital photographer from Italy, and I'm trying hard to improve my techniques and inspiration (which I lack tremendously, but I'm trying to fix this).

I've had a Fujifilm F601Z for over 2 years, it's been a good machine for my skills, and helped me experimenting a bit (a few manual controls, WB, etc...), but it is too ankward to go "full manual", so I recently decided to switch to a G5.

I'm ready for the big leap (full manual + external flash + filters), and I've just bought a G5 Pro (with 1 gb Microdrive so I can take RAW), with a spare canon battery, a Canon Speedlite 420EX flash, lensmate 52mm adapter, Hoya Ultra Pro 1 UV Filter, and Hoya Ultra Pro 1 Circular Polarizer.

No photos taken with the new baby yet, so have a look at my old fuji photos... comments are welcome, especially when they are costructive critics!

Welcome to Pbase
You don't have much to go on so keep posting. There are some that are good and interesting. I especially like the close up of the eyes but ot is much TOOOOOOO big. You should down size to 800 x 600 Pix before uploading cause it takes much too long to open and I have to scrall from side to side. It is also eating up all of your disk space I think about 125 -200K will give excelent results as well. Moreover, just the eye is the size of my head )
I have someting similar http://www.pbase.com/image/24067163.jpg

Keep on shooting

Thanks for the feedback Ilan, it's really appreciated

Yes I know I just uploaded a bunch of photos, and they are surely too big (the eyes one was taken @ 6MP on my Fuji), but I was just "trying it up", so I just uploaded the pics straight from my HD without any resampling or compression...I'm a lazy bum you know

I'll convert and repost them later... in the meanwhile you can have a look at them in "large" thumbnail format... looks quite good

About the comments: I especially love the eyes one as well, it's my favorite, and the only "real" photo I guess... the others are pretty much standard.

Suggestion to improve myself are welcome, so thanks for everything and for the "welcome"

P.s. I've had a quick look at your galleries, and geez... I have a long way to go... and I'm happy
