I have to be honest, I love the Corrados, but I hate the way that guy ran his pipes.

[eurotrashed]

[Roto]

I kind of like the way he ran his pipes...

congrats you found how to capture a picture, next lesson: shoot in raw and learn how to edit

These were all edited. And were all shot in full manual, I didn't just point and click (hell using the 20mm lens I don't even have the benefit of a light meter)

I did not shoot in raw for one reason, the camera did not come with software so I don't have anything on my computer compatible with NEF files

Hey, there's a rainbow in that 2nd pic.

[jspek]

do you have photoshop? i like them. they arent bad, but in some shots the white balance seems off.

[eurotrashed]

i do but photoshop (at least photoshop 7 at least) does not support *.NEF files. Trying to see if my friend has Nikon Capture 4 to import pics.

This was my first night with the camera, I took like 130 shots just trying to get a hang of everything. Then I loaded them and saw where pics were off and what settings worked and what didn't work so yeah they arent perfect.

[eurotrashed]

And shooting under constantly changing light is fun too

[grimm]

You can download adobes DNG converter. And that will convert the NEF files to a DNG, which you should be able to use in photoshop or light room.

The pictures are ok... kind of boring to me.

i think it's odd that you have a different post about what is needed to have "complete gear"... but you hardly even know how to use any of it? The exposure seems off on almost all of the pictures, focus is off on a bunch as well, White balance is not consistent.

and...Unless you are friends with god everyone shoots under constantly changing light...

[eurotrashed]

i do know how to use it, I am just used to shooting 35mm and the D70 is completely new to me.

And when I mean constantly changing light, talk about freak weather half sunny half apocalypse bull **** while the sun was setting.

I didn't have the cars set up to get interesting pictures, i was just walking around a parking lot filled with cars

I thought posting this in the photography forum would produce more helpful constructive criticism that would help me learn this camera faster rather than "this sucks, this sucks, and this sucks" with no actual helpful advice for me.

I never once said any of them suck. You kind of set the tone though with the name of this post? Don't be upset that people are following that.

i say get that software u need upload some of these onto PS and learn from there. Do your corrections on PS helps you learn the editing process of digital photography and then also teaches you what areas you need to better yourself shooting so it comes out of the camera better. Why i shoot raw. You cant have a photo without editing just as with film, Dodging and burning in the darkroom, overexposing correclty the negatives, ect.

Man, what have you been reading? Up until the last post there was nothing constructive just blanket garbage statements that didn't help me out at all. Like people can tell me its garbage but can't elaborate so who really knows if they even know what the hell they are talking about, so how is that telling me whats wrong with my pictures? It doesn't. Post's like gorrilaz is just garbage and arrogance. Oh thank you so much for making such a helpful sarcastic,cocky comment, as if that criticism helped at all
