i just got my Nikon d40 a couple days ago and I've been just loving this thing! Of course i'm learning how to use all the bells & whistle but here are some of my first shots that I really like!

Finally had time to play with my new 1000d, so I took it out into the yard to have a little play. Not as good as any of Phrasikleia's flower shots, but hey, this is new to me :D.

I Like your new style. The colors pop, and the image offers a slice of life in your neck of the woods. I found the Route 66 memorabilia interesting, as I live on the 'real' Route 66, and the advertising familiar in a foreign way.

Thank you. Not sure the style has changed: it's still about putting the camera on a tripod and hanging around so long that people start to come up to me and ask me what the hell I'm doing...

In a small market town in England, the whole idea of America still sounds exotic. Route 66 resonates strongly in a way that, say, the M65 obviously doesn't. :)

You obviously take as much care with light as I do... except you create it while I just watch it... :)

I think this attention to detail really pays off, and I like 'patina' on these well-worn boots. And you've got a good, deep black (as we used in say, in the days of film, when doing a b/w print)...

The lighting obviously interests you in itself. Do you want to share a few of your working methods?

I really like that Doylem reposted the timg of this or I wouldn't have been able to appreciated it as much as it deserves. The smaller image let me know I need to back up. I wonder how many great shots I don't appreciated because i'm looking at them up close on the computer screen. This is a wonderful example, in gallary you don't walk around with your nose to the prints, you stand back and take them all in. This shot deserves that, really great texture and lighting and lines.

H2Ocky--

Thanks for the kind comments! Being new to posting my images this way, I've never even considered your well thought out point. The difference (I think) is astonishing! I've re-sized the original image and will be taking this into consideration in my future posts.

Thanks!

nikon d40, 30mm

we were at a pub on thursday. they had a lot of watchmen coasters lying around and i had a black pen in my bag.
so we decided to alter the slogan in a different manner on every single coaster.
the one visible now says (approx. translation): genuine egg, viral addiction.

oh, and it was very dark there.
