I would love to know what I could do to improve my pictures. I feel that some of the subject matter is a little boring. Input please??!!?

Your subject matter is not boring. What I saw in your pictures is an over use of your flash. I started out the same way. You should try to set up different lighting conditions so that your flash is not needed. I did this by positioning lights, the same picture with and without the flash, and trying out HDR photos in low light conditions.

I do use my flash a lot, even when there is plenty of light I tend to go ahead and use it, something to def. work on. Thanks :)

@cirasj Thanks Joe, I do the same thing and noticed I did get different colors and shadings with no flash - I need not be so nervous about NOT using it. What does HDR mean? I'm still a "baby photographer".

@beautyfly2010 Great question! I learned something new today.

@kittynme I was waiting for that questions. HDR is taken a photo at three different exposures (-2, 0, +2) and merging them together using software. I use free software to produce mine. Here is a link for more information, may not be the best link, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/03/10/35-fantastic-hdr-pictures/. There was a discussion lately on this subject, when I find it, I will link to it .
