I just got a Nikon D40 and tried it out. I thought I'd share a few shots. I have a lot to learn and could really use a tripod.











And the sunset as I was leaving.

 

very nice man, that second shot is money!

and I think you and pcola are going to blend together very soon. You two need to do a shoot together. It would be like dbl stuffed oreos! extra awesome. lol

 

Sweet pics dude, but you should have gotten a Canon! lol

When I end up going down there for a meet we'll have to do our own shoot for sure

 

Dont listen to PCola, the D40 stops everything canon makes for less than $1000.

lol

nice pics mang!

Bit of advice on the D40, when yer learning to shoot stick with P Mode and use the exposure adjustment as needed. Then start working at Shutter or Aperature priority. Manual is good for the trick shots, 90% of my shots are in A mode. For the love of got stay OUT of the portrait, landscape, action modes and such. lol

Great pics mang! Congrats on the camera! The D40 is a workhorse!

 

Looks good dude, but I'm with PCola riding the Canon train....What mode were you shooting in with these anyway?

(I'm too lazy to look up exif)

 

Very nice pics. I'm the outcast with my Sony alpha.

 

Thanks the second is my favorite too.

I couln't beat the price of the Nikon, sorry. We should definately do a shoot some time.

I will stay far away from the preset modes don't worry and thanks for the advice.

I have nothing against canon, my point and shoot is a Canon SD1000 but I got a good deal on the Nikon. All of those were just set on auto except the close up side shot which was Aperature specific mode.


Thanks I am not a sony fan period but I don't know much about their DSLR

 

Pics look great! Sky's a little washed out, but you're still getting the hang of it.
