[Belvader]

So as I promised I got an actual camer today I got a beginners Nikon d3200 I have only one lense at the moment and it's a 18-55 range lense and I got one good shot this morning when I was just playing around with it, learning it's functions and all

Remember the rule of thirds.

Nah, you're fine haha. Here's a Wiki about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

tl:dr: Image is more interesting when you off-center the subject (some exceptions) as opposed to looking straight at it.

[Belvader]

Ahh, gotcha! Thanks man

[Belvader]

whats some good cheap editing software? im talking $300 or less

[Belvader]

WARNING tons of pictures!! just warning you now so there won't be complaining about it.
anyway, here's some decent shots I got with the Nikon

[Belvader]

any feedback?

[Kinghorn]

Photos are definitely getting way better! You cant post pictures with out posting the lens your using! Just a few notes, hopefully you got the rule of thirds but its always proper to shoot the entire subject and not just parts of it. For example, your trying to shoot your front end or lip, don't ever just shoot it. angles, rule of thirds, and positioning are always key in a photo. Had to pull out the camera/rc car to show...
Car is really small so focus isn't like shooting a actual car,

and so fourth but centering was one thing you hadn't been doing in your prior photos and you never really want to "cut the subject in half" ...

ButI like the fact that your trying to get better and is definately showing! if you need more info, pm me or visit http://www.carphototutorials.com/ never really used it but its there!

[Belvader]

Thanks Brotha! I appreciate it man and I know what your saying about the angles but every now and then taking the full vehicle shots get old Then I start to get creative with it haha

[Belvader]

again another warning for quite a lot of photos but I can assure you yesterday was my best day behind the lenses. I got some beautiful shots, I was amazed that it came from my camera but enough jibber jabber here's the shots.


















ok now here comes the Good shit





























again I apologize for so many photos but trust me I narrowed down the list by over a hundred. anyway thank you for checking them out, and any constructive criticism welcome

[Belvader]

more photos! honestly not understanding why i'm getting 0 feedback unless requested. I finally got the correct equipment and now taking good shots but im sure in good time the shots will get better though. enough of a rant here's my shots





















I know it really wasn't a good backround but just for piddling around the driveway I think the shots turned out alright. thanks for checking them out!

The photography section isn't exactly a popular section on s/w. I'm not an expert photographer, but I'll offer the little advice I have to give.

The pictures look pretty good, but for photos with something in the foreground that you want to be blurred with the focus, try zooming in a bit on the main object, and focusing it instead of trying to get it to blur right away. I've learned that zooming in is an easier way to get cool photos hahahah.

Also, for close up shots, decrease the aperture a bit so the background isn't so crisp.

Otherwise these photos are pretty good man! Plus, the white wheels look good on the truck too, quite a nice color contrast. Have you thought of yellow lettering on the tires?

[Belvader]

Thanks dude! and I actually have but I'm gonna wait and get the new tires first. I'm going sure a couple of tire sizes and going with a thinner setup

[Belvader]

moar pictars!!!
