  • First DSLR. Opinions and criticism!

    Newest photos are always at the bottom, obviously. I stress that you check out those, looking back at the beginning I feel like I've improved a good bit and the early pictures are pretty unentertaining, and i really don't want to make a new thread.

    What's up guys! So about a month or two ago I picked up a Minolta XE-5. I only shot maybe two rolls with it and it's been put aside since then, The reason being I was given a Nikon FE. I immediately fell in love with the camera, and even more with taking photos. Here are some of my shots with it. (Note this was my first time ever taking pictures with film, and ever taking pictures period, other than cell phone pictures.)


    My awesome ass grandparents.












    Some I'm proud of, some I'm not. Regardless to whether they're good, decent, or bad; I enjoyed taking them and I wanted more! Although, learning aperture, shutter speed, iso, etc. etc. with film was pretty difficult. You had to get it developed and wait, and hoped that you remembered your settings. So I began saving up Papa Johns delivery boy tip money to purchase a t3i! I wanted a t3i because of the video reputation it made. After talking with a friend and looking at specs, I ended up changing my mind from a t3i to a Nikon d3200. The time came last week and I went out and made one of my most enjoyable purchases yet.


    Here are some pictures from the day I got it, these are my first pictures ever taken with a dslr, and to me I feel like they're the first pictures I've really ever gotten to take.





    Those two were immediately after I turned the camera on. It felt so great to take a picture and then look at it. :
    Anyways, these were later that day/night after playing with it a little.



    I heard you guys like fitment?









    That's all I've got at the moment, let me know what you guys think. I take criticism well also, so if you'd like to throw some words at me go for it!

    l likem. I have two canon ae-1's. Film is awesome. Especially when you get some expired film off ebay or something and it has all kinds of neat lines and stuff in it.

      I actually had a roll like that I purchased from CVS. I think maybe two or three pictures were actually able to be made out. The rest were like this. Some had red or blue swirls in them, pretty cool.

              This was just something I shot today while me and my dad were towing my new shell.

              and a friend's Kia. I used to make fun of how sunken in his wheels were. He's ordering a new set soon, I feel like once he get's them it'll look a lot nicer.




              I like how the pictures are coming out, but they are a bit brighter than I'd like. Anyway I can darken them a bit but keeping detail?

                  Kinda, I'm more worried about getting the picture to look nice before I attempt to focus on subjects. That and because there's a lack of subjects around here :|

                      Took these over the weekend. Very pleased with how they turned out. The portraits were taken with my 50 f1.8 I used with my Nikon Fe.




                      These two are my absolute favorites.











                      Would really like some opinions on these
