I haven't gone outside of the house with my new D3000 since I got in about three weeks ago. So, since I happened to score a brand new still-in-the-box Nikon VR 55-200mm lens last night from a guy on CL (130$, so I think I did pretty well) I decided to play hooky from work today and head out to the Minnesota Zoo to see how it works.
I am a complete newbie so I really don't know what I'm doing, and I just sort of played around with F stops and Shutter speed until my meter zeroed out. It was poor, rain forest interior lighting, so it was challenging. Tried to hold the camera as still as I could-- that's the extent of my knowledge thus far. So anyway, here's what I consider my best results.
TOO DARK
BAD COMPOSITION
A LITTLE BETTER
I KIND OF LIKE THIS ONE
THIS BIRD WAS NICE TO ME
SURE YOU'VE GOT ME IN FOCUS?
HUNGRY HORSES ON MY WAY TO THE ZOO
OKAY, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TODAY, BUT THIS IS MY OTHER HOBBY :mrgreen:
