FB really takes away from the quality of pictures. Nice photos though Bryan!

Try hosting the pics on flickr. They'll look 6458851x better when you link them on here.

proably with taking the same angles and such as a point-and-shoot camera, let alone it is proably just on auto settings too

it basically was a point and shoot. i can post pics of the camera with my cell phone if you guys were curious.

like i said, the "shoot" was out of pure bordem. i know i need more experience. it was fun though, i fell on my ass couple times cuz my vans dont like the snow lol

im looking forward on learning how to take/edit pics, so i appreciate the feedback.

hell, i dont even own a digital camera, so that goes to show you how inexperienced i am

a cell phone is a digital camera when it has a camera on it, maybe not the best, but it still is a camera

Nice pictures man!

I just got a Nikon D60 a few weeks ago and I'm still experimenting with the different settings and such. Just keep using it and getting used to it and the pictures will turn out much better
