Some KK shots using Auto. I dunno how to use A or S setting yet. Cant see any difference except hard to control brightness of pictures. Tips will be glady appreciated.

I think my compo is slightly more interesting then 6 mths ago because i use potrait and 18mm (wide angle) . Dunno why it works but wat the heck...

tanjung aru at night: i dunno.... nothing interesting in this pic. beach shots are better if u do it in the early evening than night. better if during a bright day.

others are just fine

Wow you are at KK, I am sure you can get wonderful shots at Sutera Harbour. Check out http://www.louispang.com and see how he transforms Sutera Harbour into a magnificent location spot for weddings.

hihi...d40 user here also
some opinions...
the first and second seems to be ok to me...i like the boat pic...
however, the pondok and the beach pic is not interesting...
trying capturing the pondok with wider coverage of the surroundings...
last pic ar...i would like if you stood further back...so that can cover more things...

about the shutter and aperture priority,
use shutter priority when there is low lighting... or when you wanna capture fast moving objects...
aperture priority is basically for what kind of object you wanna shoot...set to smaller f number to shoot flowers or close-ups so that you get a nice bokeh...set the to big f number is you wanna take landscapes and the lighting is not a problem...


i dunno my explanation is correct or not... hope it helps though:)

EDIT: typo

it all depends on how you master it...using A is really the last option anyone would want...lets say...if you are in a very low lit room, if you use A mode, it will adjust to say, 1 sec and f7...this will surely produce blury shots..so in this kind of scenario, you must use a lil bit higher shutter speed, say 1/40 and jack up the ISO...then you will get what you wan without blury pics..

well...
SLR have another good shooting mode call Manual Mode which quite useful also....

New D40 user here, I like Picture 1, and 2.
Picture 3, not interesting..where is the focal point, the pondok, or the person?, what story u wants to tell us?
Picture 5, and 6 looks like normal shoot to me.

Again, my comments is purely my personal point of view.

thank you....

i will try to understand what story to tell....at the moment...i just shoot shoot shoot and keep the good shots....still learning abt compo and exposure...

M mode so hard to control la wei..need to always monitor the brightness...make me go everytime...
