#7 - #8 - wheeee, holiday photo.
#9 - got potential.

#15 - nice, just level the horizon a bit
#16 - nice also.
#17 - holiday photo again
#18 - good concept there. you're heading somewhere (like the footprints) but still donno where yet.
#19 - #20 - ehh I thought I saw those earlier. i scroll up, yeah it's like #15. They're triplets.
#21 is nice but........ it's #22 with alternate angle.
#23 - too bad the details are gone around the ship.

#27 - looks nice. ugly frame only. haha
#28 - nice. Wish you've cover the front of the ships.
#29 - nothing there.
#30 - i like, kick the motobike away next time. j/k

try and experiment

for beginner, u shoot much better photo than me.
iso, aperture and shutter speed are the 3-brother that u have to master if u are into manual mode.
play around with spot focusing next, and spot metering to have a nice picture taken especially when the light is tricky
get a flashgun and try it out, personal choice, SB900, but now SB700 is quite reasonable.
go on with f2.8 fixed aperture lens, like those from Sigma or Tamron, of course original Nikon is the best.

many newbies are being mislead in such a way, thinking that f2.8 lenses are the way to go in photography.

i'd take the nikkor 16-85 over the 17-55 or those Tamron / Sigma without a thought, unless i suddenly for some unknown reason need f2.8 so badly.

Indeed. I'd get 16-85 anytime !

Thx for ur comment

But what does "holiday photo" means? is it a good or bad thing?


Wait i got money 1st lar.......

One thing i still cant figure out is the aperture.....no matter i use low or high it still doesnt bokeh
Must be some setting i changed or something..

Anyone want to be my sifu?

1. holiday photo meaning it's good for memory, nothing artistic nor beautiful. it's looks like what the average person snap from their phone / compacts when going on holiday.

2. a lot of newbies are too focused on bokeh that they forget about the MORE important bits of photography. just attend any of the talk by experienced photographers, see how often they talk about nonsense like "so creamy the bokeh".

people talk about distraction, even if bokeh nice or not nice people focus on whether it's a distraction or not. not how creamy it is.

lol.. Big aperture is a double-edged sword. Good bokeh, but if mishandled, shallow depth-of-field is good enough to ruin your pictures, if you're intended to take group pics, which is far away from your camera.

Full house. ( Fairytales? )
