Color and exposure is good. But need to work on composition.

You wanted to get everything sharp or some areas blurred?

Oh my, looks blue-ish on my screen here.

Any idea how I can calibrate my LCD? I'm betting it's because of the temperature or something. I've also uploaded a bunch of photos. I did some post processing and kept in mind about the WB so I adjusted until I toned down the yellow completely. Do the edited pics look better?

Well, for best results I would recommend buying a hardware calibration device like Colorvision Spyder 2 which uses a usb calorimeter to evaluate the colors on your screen and replaces your computer's default color profile.

My photos used to be underexposed and cool, now after calibration, photos are exposed correctly and warmer.

Hey, actually if you mount FX lenses to a DX camera what will happen? I just realized I don't know the answer to this...

nothing...
juz that the effective focal length will be multiplied by 1.5...
so a 24-70 is effectively 36-105 on dx cam...wink.gif

or did u mean...dx lenses on fx body?
if thats wat u mean...
then the answer would be...
u'd get vignetting effect in most of ur shots...
bcoz the image circle craeated by dx lenses is much smaller...can couldnt cover the ff sensor...

Yeah, FX on DX.... ahh... so noob lar me... Always hear about focal length multipliers and DX crop... Donno how it works.

That's what I get being in a world of DX lenses only... :-p

shocking.gif Eh wait... got 80-200mm f/2.8 two ring wor... Is that a DX lens? No right? Does that means my focal length is actually 120-300mm on my Nikon D80?
