The First Day Of Photography

So i have finally bought a DSLR, a Pentax K-X to be precise. Its a basic kit with an 18-55 mm & 70-300mm Tele lens. If I'm honest i have a base understanding of the principles of Photography but its a brave new world full of intrepidation and blurry pictures of cats.

I have started with a walk near our locale via duct, a rolling wintry landscape with a few miniature farmhouses and pygmy cattle to boot.

The first couple of shots were spent switching the foreground and background focus whilst framing most of the pictures with semi withered trees or bushes ...which didn't turn out half bad in my very naive and sheltered view.

My favourite picture came from a bench in the playground pictured below maybe a little dark but i like the shadows..
