Hey guys, I just thought I'd post a few pics from my first week with a camera.

I'm trying to make myself learn to shoot completely manual (well, with the occasional AF). I've been watching so many videos and reading quite a bit, but I figure a great way to learn is through a bit of feedback. I've been playing with Lightroom also. I realise that a few of the sky shots are very over saturated, but as I said, I've been playing.

Other than #1 your manual settings seem to be working. The last one could use a bit more exposure.

Very nice, Boutch

Haha, yeah it’s hard to get the little bugger to sit still enough to fiddle for too long.

I find it hard to tell if something is slightly under or over exposed. Is this something that you get an eye for eventually?

The answer is "yes," but that book may help you get there more quickly.
