NOT a photographer

[Beat]

Well yeah I've started photographing approximately 3 days ago, these are the only pictures that actually turned out as pictures from the past 2 days, because the first day consisted of super overexposed/underexposed pictures so it was a sad sad day, but I'm seeing improvements every time I use my camera and I felt like sharing them. I was going to go to the sea and take some nice slow shutter speed pictures and post them here, BUT I couldn't go to the sea today, so hopefully I will in the upcoming days. Anyway, feedback is much appreciated.

Oh my god!

Camera name? Really sweet work man.

[Beat]

Canon EOS 550D with 18-55mm kitlens.

[Determined]

Please, please don't become one of those  pretentious, pseudo-artistic douchebags, who think, that they are so profound & artistic, putting deep, meaningful captions on their "priceless photography"  & evade every argument with "you just don't understand it" or "you aren't a photographer so you can't criticize my work of art"
You know the kind I'm talking about.

^ That paragraph needs a lot more quotation marks, I see.

Said that, I really like the 3rd & 5th pic, the 3rd has a nice, desolate atmosphere & 5th just looks good.

I have a 550d too. Nice pictures.

[Syny]

Standard first pictures, I like some of them. Good job I wish you the best of luck 

[Squeak]

[灰野 敬二]

The colors in the first two photos look like your CC.

YIKES. YIKES. YIKES. YIKES. YIKES.

i assume they would look really simple and boring

The editing only consisted of cropping the pictures to make them closer to the rule of thirds

Colors in the first two pictures were done by shooting the picture in a nearly pitch black room with slow shutter speed (30" as stated in the topic) with tungsten bulbs outside the room and the light of my LCD screen with an orange wallpaper applied to it.

wow that sounds nice! do you still have the .veg file?

[Daffy]

I liked the two first ones best though I assume some coloring was done in the post-processing, also nice bokeh on the kit-lens in the last picture.
Not sure if you're using it already but I recommend getting Adobe Lightroom, the beta of v4 is available for free.
Great tool for correcting barrel distortion, chromatic aberration plus post-processing of course, and do not hesitate to post-process.
Most pictures looks decent at best without post-processing or good light conditions.
