Four photos taken today.... A ten minutes bicycle ride from where I live and two from where I work. And all photos shot within a 20 meter circle, so to say.

Just wondering, what type of camera are you using? Your photos are nice, but if you are using a SLR, get yourself a circular polarizing filter for your lens, it will take care of the sky being over exposed, and probably get ride of the haze in the horse photo. They make them pretty cheap, but the more you spend on one usualy the better you get.

First thanks for your advice.

I'm using an Olympus C5050 (with an UV polarizing filter). It's not a bad camera but it has a fixed (no SRL) wide zoom lens (5.7 ~ 22.9) which is great for taken photos of things like flowers, objects or a portrait of a person not that far away but not really good for landscapes and things further away. It probably can be done better than I shoot them but I'm still learning.

Um, still learning and saving some money to buy a good SRL. I was thinking of a Canon but I'm still orientating/ looking around. Won't be long though.

I have Canon cameras and like them, but you can get some great deals with other brands, it really depends on how much you spend, and you are better off to get a cheaper camera and spend more money on the lenses, as pretty much any dSLR can take a good photo, but they are limited by how good the lens is you use on it. Even the top professionals might use a cheaper camera, especialy when they weigh less, but you wont see them using a cheap lens.

To give you a idea, a few photos I took using a cheap camera with a good lens, and the last one is with a very cheap lens and I think you can tell
