I know that I need to work on zooming, I honestly just don’t know how to do it correctly. Whenever I try to zoom in I lose all the focus. I am completely self taught through trial and error, (I am not someone who can read a manual or instructions and understand the information, so I haven’t looked into how to zoom and keep the focus sharp). I will try to work on that, as currently all my photos are taken at the default distance, which I assume is no zoom. Thanks, Danielle

Do you mind if I make a couple of suggestions as regards your photos?
There are some lovely ones there, particularly those taken in nature. Those taken of the children need a little tweeking, though. The poses, expressions and angles are very effective, but a few need zooming in on. Zooming right in, a couple of times, to get rid of empty space around them. The one of both the kids holding hands looks like you’ve chopped your daughter’s head off! You need to get right in there, to show your son as is intended, but obviously holding someone’s hand. The one of your daughter in front of graffiti is really interesting. Another zoom in, I think, to crop the ugly wall edges. The one of your son sitting next to a plant would look good with him facing the other way, so that he’s looking into the picture, and not at space.
You’ve got some great ideas there, Danielle, and the pics taken in nature are beautiful, so keep it up, and I hope you don’t mind the suggestions. I take photos with my Smart phone all the time, and it’s great fun!
