Beginner - Nikon D5000 C&C welcome

[Bee_Ayche]

I own a D5000 and have been shooting for over a year now i dont have a flash, just two lenses..... i think :blushing: lol.. But here are a few recent pics Ive taken..

Critiques are more than welcome, I use my initials as my Watermark/Signature but would like to have opinions on that too.. I was also thinking about adding a black border to the outside of the pictures but i dunno???

Check em out, take em apart, critique..

p.s. the iso is way off on a few

Seems like you and I have a lot in common as far as where we were at when we joined this forum. I, like you have been shooting over a year. When I joined I was extremely one dimensional. I only shot portraits, and in this short time this forum had really opened me up to so many other things and how to do them right. I really like the first 2 images out of all of them. A little more contrast on number two maybe, but I like it either way.

Thanks for the help bro, What could i have done to add more contrast?? Would that be in editing?
I want to get into portraits and more photos but im sticking to inanimate for now lol..
our equipment is almost identical, I have a d5000 tho, but I have the same lenses :thumbup:

I like the color quality of the D5000.

Yea I think my only gripe is it not having the focus motor?? If that's what its called?? Other than that I love it.. But I also haven't used any others soo ima bit biased lol

Yea, the picture does it no justice.. There where a few VIP's at that show, one of my favorites was an Infiniti.. Do you do photograph any car shows?

Contrast is in editing. I'd say any program you choose to use can do it. They don't all need it, but the ones that you think look flat will benefit from it.

I like a lot of the shots, hate a lot of the cropping.

Yea ill get used to the editing with practice

I like a lot of the shots, hate a lot of the cropping.

And yea, as i keep goin back through the pictures the cropping is quickly becoming irritating .. Is there usually a rule of thumb or standard to cropping? Even if not ill definetely use it sparringly
