I like a good vignette but these are overboard. I personally do not like either one. They have potential but in #1, they're too far and the flash is too harsh on the wood rail. Perhaps a tighter crop and a better post would have made it a better shot.
#2 suffers from motion blur and is badly underexposed, the dark vignetting only makes it worse. Sorry, I'm just being honest, hopefully this helps.

The Beginner's forum description was changed, and hasn't been a C&C or photo sharing section for several weeks now.

Which is why your thread got moved to one of the forums in the 'Photo Galleries- Photos submitted by members for general display or critique." section of TPF.

I think the price you charged was fair.

You don't use ap? What's ap, and why do you choose not to use it?

sorry forgot to answer ur question...i dont use auto program cause i want to learn what my camera is capable of..so if i always use auto program that like cheating myself to go the easy way out..lol

 

[o hey tyler]

So have you been using manual mode?

So have you been using manual mode?

yeah pretty much...can't really tell u what exact speed and mode i use ...i need to pay attention to that...lol

Like your attitude.
Switch to using Aperture mode, Matrix or Evaluative metering and use the the exposure compensation dial until you learn your way around the camera a little better. Shooting Manual just makes it hard on you at this point.
Learn to use your blinkies and histogram so you are taking proper exposures at time of capture.

No shame in using Automatic modes either while you are learning to use the camera, some people stay there and are perfectly happy with their results.
The camera is a tool, use it in the manner that provides you with the best results.

Master basic exposure before you start messing with effects. Best of luck to you.
