My first pictures off of Auto :D

[renclio]

There not very great, but its a starting point and i am looking for some advice on where i can improve etc. At the moment i am using a D70s with just the standard 18-55mm vr dx lense. Looking for some advice on what lense would be a suitable upgrade also.

Thanks again

Callum

Go and take some out doors pictures, Maybe on a tripod with longer shutter speeds etc?

Experiment with light maybe?

Pics are alright but not very exciting.

Looking for comments and criticism and where to improve

Find an interesting subjects... or at least ways to make the photographs you are taking interesting. With every day objects maybe do extreme close ups etc so you cant tell easily what it is.

i thought the outside light would have been interesting but i feel the background being darker and the light being much more brighter and illumionious would have been better but that would have needed to have been done via photoshop yes?

This one could have been very good if you changed the position of the camera a bit and focused more on the horizon (sunset) so that the light was out of focus.

 

[renclio]

how would i have done that though? would that have been with autofocus turned off?

Depends on the camera, you could use auto single focus (SF) focus on the background then aim at the light and the cam will stay focused on the background. If you use constant focus (CF) then it will refocus once you aim it at the light again. Or you could use manual focus to do it which is probably better.

ill have a tried just now if i can be bothered

:rasp:

Bare in mind the horizon might be too far away for you to focus on etc etc. It was just an example of how you could maybe improve one of those pictures...
