Got my own camera but am a total n00b. Here's a thread to show it as I progress.

So I picked up a Nikon D40x from Taylor. Came with the basic 18-55mm lense. Took a trip up to NY and took some pics along the way.. Let me know what you guys think. Im in the process of reading through the basics, but all this photog stuff is overwhelming. Can't wait to dive in and learn some stuff!





















Comments, negatives, suggestions for next time.. I shot on auto, images are straight off the camera and hosted on photobucket. I don't really have a set theme that I want to shoot overall.. I'll shoot anything really lol.... but I thought buildings and stuff like that was a good start. I guess I'd like to know how to make the last picture look better for starters. I know there's a lot going on there, but it seems like something is off (besides the fact that Im on auto with a basic lens LOL). I always heard "you have to use what you have and make the best of it". that's what im going for until I can get out there, learn, have hands-on, progress, and get more lenses down the road.
