Hmm, I'm not liking them that much - But it's still a pretty sweet bunch for your first go!! I like the middle on the best. Play around with lighting (look at some of the tutorials that are here on General Photography) and see what else you can come up with.

PS: The macro tool is awesome for close-ups!

Very nice, my favorite is the first one because you can see the hills (or mountains don't know which) in the background. Keep up the good work!

Ouch they seem a tad blurry, Is this camera more of a photography camera or a camera for taking photos of people.

You have the idea you just need to practice on it!

Ditto.

I sometimes make the mistake of leaving my macro on instead of changing the focus for landscape phots.

I recently did a a few wet spider web photos a few days before christmas and I used the macro then..

But when I went to do a few landscape shots they came out blurry, although they looked allright on the screen of the camera at the time.

I was quite dissapointed because they were great shots just a little blurry. All because of one silly mistake

But they are still good.

Good Job

yea im still learning more about this camera, the one of the bird is blurry because its focused on the close branches not the bird =/ and the garden one is blurred because im a nub but the shot of the city is pretty clear imo

Blur can also be caused by a combination of low shutter speed settings and shaking of the camera mid-shot. Great stuff for your first go.
