Some of my first photos with NX300 - 18-55mm
1

I'm new to the forum and photography in general and received my NX300 19th of May! Thanks to you all who helped me decide between NX300 and NX30 and also for the tips with the colours! 
I'd love to hear from you on some tips on editing portraits and playing with light and colours! These are the first ever photos that I've played around with in the bundled lighroom 4
Cheers!

Don't mind the chair in the background Forgot to remove it and to put my cousin in the centre

What a handsome subject. I think you will enjoy that camera lens combo very much & LR is a great program also.

Apart from the chair, photo one is nicely composed with the key feature (the eyes of your subject) in one of the "thirds" position - in this case an upper third which is appropriate for a facial shot.

Suggest you read up on "rule of thirds" for photography and other compositional rules. Like they say - rules are made for breaking, but until you understand how they aid you in the first place it is difficult to know when they can be broken.

All in all I would say an excellent start, and welcome to the world of NX photography.

Nice shots.

Do not let 'Rules' inhibit your creativity.

Just observe your shots and ask why?

Your first shot exaggerates the lad's face because you shot wide angle.

Try different focal lengths on faces and you will soon learn which serve you best.

Try holding your camera in portrait (vertical) position and you will get a larger subject

when shooting one to three people

Good shooting to you, you have a great camera and lens.

P.S.  Do not forget to update camera firmware and LR as well.
