Some DSLR Whorage...

[Harpham]

I bought a DSLR camera on Thursday, finally. Ive wanted/been looking for about a year now. Let the whoring begin.

Comments, advice, criticism all welcome. Im obviously new to the photography world (and to editing the photos) so any advice on getting better results would be great.

At the moment, I am using Aperture 3 and Lightroom 3.3 to edit my images.

Thanks. Let me know what you think. Im quite impressed with my noobish pics

Going down to an underground car park tonight to take a few pics of the whole car, rather than just the close ups as above.

Looks great Paul. What camera did you buy? Shame as i just put up my DSLR kit for sale for a very much cheaper bargain than new.

 

[Harpham]

Went for the Canon 500D kit from Jessops, with aload of goodies. Im loving it at the moment.
Ive also got a Tripod on the way, so ill be doing some night shots when that arrives.

Nice pics. My DSLR is coming next week and I'm looking forward to egtting some good pics of my car at last.

 

[Harpham]

Thanks for the comments guys. I love the beading pic of the bonnet close up.

Went to an underground car park last night, pics didn't go as to plan. I definitely need my Tripod to hurry up and get delivered as alot of photos came out slightly blurred
Took a good few of my girlfriends animals though! Here's one I did of the rabbit and tried out light streaks. (I know it's not car related, but I want to whore my photos, lol)

Very good shots!

Not come across that 'Aperture 3' program before - is it any good?

Yeah, it seems ok for basics. Ive just got hold of Photoshop CS5, so ive been using Lightroom and PS more tbh. Just using Aperture to import the photos from my camera.

Do you have a Mac? Great piece of software if you do. I have it on my Macbook. Use it to manage all my pics. Great for workflows.

 

[Paul]

Ah right, no I don't have a Mac but already have CS5 so I don't think I will bother with it. Thanks for the info though!

Pics look great mate, i bought a 500D recently too. I'm a complete noob aswell when it comes to photography. Gotta say im jealous as those first few pics are really good. What lens you using?

Thanks :thumbup1:

Just the standard 18-55mm lens that came with it.

Ahhh, everyone buying 500Ds. Someone should just buy mine and save a shed load of cash!!!
