Hi all. I'm pretty new to photography (5 days old, to be exact). I've always been very interested in taking photos but never really got around to getting myself an SLR. I went and got myself the Nikon D80 (apparently it's a bit too advanced for a new user like me).

So anyway, here are a few shots from my first 100 shots with my spankin' new camera.









Nothing special, I admit but I'm only just starting so constructive criticism would be welcome.

Cheers.

Thanks for the comments guys. I didn't really do much with it in PS, just added a new layer, some smart blur-ed, some not, and overlayed/vivid lighted it.

I will try posting some humans soon as it seems to be the trend here.

Here are just a couple of shots I took earlier this evening.




Cheers. As usual, comments welcomed!

Yeah, it is. It felt weird being up there taking photos of moving cars. I got a few friendly honks, too. Haha. Nope, I didn't. I used a tripod for both the shots. Maybe when I released the shutter I moved the cam a bit, it's the only explanation I can think of.

Edit:

Actually I think I can explain it. I think there were people walking across the bridge at the time I took that shot which caused the bridge floor to shake a bit. Yeah. Definitely that.

Cheers ac98, I've actually been in graphics design for over 7 years now. Only recently started picking up photography. Haha so yes I am familiar with PS.

Aaron: Haha I am certainly not a pro yet. But thank you, all the same.

Just got home from my mate's band performance. Took a million pictures but they were all either crap or too blur. I really need to learn how to shoot low-light properly.

Edited and played around with:


Cheers.

Oh, I also decided to get rid of that extremely annoying frame around my earlier pictures and decided to make my watermark a tad smaller.

Well I was bored shitless today so I decided to go out and shoot a building or two.

And again, these shots have not been heavily edited with PS. Probably just a few basic filters applied. Some of the pictures have lost a lot of details due to it, though.

Edited:








Forgive me for my boring captions. I'm a boring person.

Taman Tunians will know where this place is, I'm sure.

Hope you enjoyed it, I kinda like these shots. I have a load more but I can't be arsed to put them through the editing process so there.

Comments/Criticisms welcomed. Cheers.

Untouched by PS. Again, I'm afraid it isn't very inspiring.

Thanks guys. Really inspiring to get positive responses from my fellow photographers.

Anyways, I was bored again so I went searching for high places to shoot from.





This is my first time doing um, landscaping? I'm not sure what category this falls under. C&C welcome, as usual.

Untouched by PS.

I went downtown to shoot KLCC and you wouldn't believe my f***ing luck. When I got there KLCC was looking sooo beautiful, all brightly lit up and shit. I parked at Trader's Hotel and walked into the park. I got a nice spot, setup my tripod etc and then...



..lights on one of the towers had completely went off. I was kicking myself. So I had to make do with what I had and here are some of the results. I think they are alright. But that's just me.











C&C welcomed. Cheers.

Haha, sorry dude but I really mean it when I say I'm an absolute newbie at photography so I don't really understand the whole exposure exposure thing. I'm starting my course soon so hopefully I can get a bit more technical soon but thanks for the comment.

Cheers diwant.

beehawk: Nope, none of my KLCC pics have been edited. And thank you.

The sky was BEAUTIFUL in the evening today. Anyone else saw it? I only managed to get 1 good shot as I was in the car.



This one is nothing special, taken from the top of One Utama.



Again, C&C welcome and these pics have not been touched by PS. Cheers!
