Well my D90 and myself have had about three weeks together, and it's been fun, frustrating, adicting, annoying and informative. I'm alittle all over the place as far as subjects I shoot, I just don't take portraits much at all yet.

I thought about this one for the contest, but I thought there really isn't much feeling in it, just kinda bland. and the manlift basket has a blueish hue from the shade.


A over processed shot to try make an ok pic more interesting.


Another poor mans macro here.


I'm not sure why, but I like this shot.


I like the vibrant colours in this one.


My first pano, used straight raw files with no proccessing. not even ACR or CaptureNx

 

Some nice shots!

 

I like your composition. Looks like you're making quite a few adjustments to color, tint, and all the other sliders. A pro told me right after I got back into photography again, " You paid a lot of money for a nice camera. Nikon has invested millions in the technology that's in it. Trust them".

 

Thanks guys.

Shalooby, when I'm shooting I tend try alot of things out. I'll often snap my first shot of a subject in complete auto, then check how the camera set the shot. then I'll switch to manual adjust the settings the same as auto, then start adjusting towards what I want to see in the image. So I have alot of "straight" shots, and alot of tweeked ones. then I'm selective about what I post.

It seems easy to shoot something beutiful (like flowers), what I want to hone is the ability to create beuty out of non-descript subjects through lighting, timing, uniqueness, angle etc... . this seems to be the most interesting part of photography for me.
