Gr8White's Newbie Photo Thread

Got my D3000 a few weeks ago with the 18-55 VR kit lense. Absolutely love it! Thought I'd share some of my photo's with yall. C&C is more than welcome. Enjoy









post more up later.

 

Awesome pics.

 

Few more for today. Just some samples of different stuff i've shot

 

Thanks

 

Dog is my favorite! but I am biased...lol

 

Nice shots i love the painting with light shots.

 

well i put the cruddy pic up of him. that one is blurry as crud.

yeah i figured out how do to it pretty quick. i need to try it again and get more creative sometime bc I did those like the 2nd night i had it.

thanks buddy!

 

Newb pics my ass...they look damn good to me. I am looking into getting a DSLR and debating between the d3000 or the 3100. Where those taken in auto mode or did you shoot manual? How easy was the nikon to get used to?

 

Thanks man. I shot with a point n shoot before this so i kinda knew what i was doing. Some of these were in auto. Most were in a "scene" mode like portait landscapes, and sports. The ones of the falls, the sunset down the road, and the driveway pic of the taco were in manual mode. I'm still learning manual mode because I really wanna get into a career with photography involved because i love photography, editing, film, and all that visual arts stuff.
EDIT: BTW and FWIW I really thought I would use the GUIDE mode a lot, but quite frankly I haven't used it all that much because it almost dumbs photography down a little too much for me

 

very nice, Really enjoyed the scenery pics. Looks like a beautiful spot you live in

 

Thanks man. Yeah its beautiful up in the mountains. I got lucky with those shots bc a huge storm came thru and knocked off the trees right as I was coming off the mountain

 

nice pictures man. how are you liking the d3000?

 

I'm absolutely loving it. I don't regret it at all!

 

nice, haha im glad im not the only one, i just got one and its awesome, i just wish i had more money, i cant decide what lens to get next!

 

I know the feeling lol. Id like to get a better closeup/macro lens and a higher zoom lens bc I keep finding myself wanting to get super close to objects but I can only focus so close. The kit lense is great nonetheless

 

thats exactly how i feel about zooming haha but yeah it is definitely a good lens for the price of the kit. ive been looking around for a 55-200 and ive found quite a few for around 100 which seems like a pretty good price but idk

 

just make that A) its a VR model or B) carry a tripod bc stability makes the all the difference

 

yeah im definitely gonna get a VR lens, and my tripod should get here on monday, do you use a tripod?

 

Only when i need to like when I slow the shutter down to get the waterfall pics and time lapses other than that I try to find a steady position to hold the camera and just go at it.

 

oh okay, your waterfall pics are nice btw.
