I thought entering competitions might focus my brain a little by giving me a bit of structure because at the moment i'm just snap happy and , still having an old film slr,i can never remember settings etc so my photography never improves.

I would suggest that you submit images to recognized contests like those by Kodak, Canon, Nikon... but not any of the many you find on the internet that are nothing more than a scam! They have you sign away your copyrights and they receive upward of 10,000 images... which they keep; some are from gullible but good advanced and semi-pro photographers competing for the $300 (or even $500) grand prize... and let us assume they give out $1,000 in prizes... so what? They then turn around and sell the rest of the images to stock companies since they now own the copyrights and they stand to make a few long thousand dollars while doing nothing but outwitting those that entered the competition. BE CAREFUL, be leery!
Good luck and best wishes.

When your entering your work, make sure it has no scratches on it, no dust in the actual picture, and that you have a variety of blacks and whites (If you're sending black and white photos in). Also, take digital photos of your work so that if it's damaged when you send it in (let's face the facts- our postal system isn't the most careful system) the judges can see that it really had been damaged when it was sent in. Other than that, try new angles. If you're taking a picture of your cat, try taking a high-angle shot. By that I mean crouch low and angle the camera up at it. Or you can practice low-angle shots (pointing the camera down at the subject) or profiles. One last thing, try experimenting with different settings. It'll help you learn more about what setting to use in what kind of light. Good luck!

it would have been stunning to have given us a funds and to let us know the place you're, as you have solutions here from the US, and im interior the united kingdom. IMO, the Pentax ok-m, that's 10.2mp, anti shake equipped into the physique, not the lens as on another makes, may well be used on finished vehicle or handbook, strategies-blowing dynamic selection, plus Pentax have used the comparable lens mount for 40 years, so there are an abundance of inexpensive lenses available. you are able to %. one up for variety of £370 with a kit (18-55mm) lens. Dont even think of a pair of Nikon D40. a inexpensive toy is all that's. human beings purely purchase it for its call, then recognize that it cant do as much as the different digital camera of the same fee.
