Equipment:
D90
...
That's it...
I'm new to all of this and I use auto most of the time on my shots, you should be able to tell. I didnt have a tripod, so pics arent the most steady.
Goes down every first Thursday of the month at the Varsity here in Atlanta.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Do some research online on all the basics of photography. Try to develop some understanding of how to frame a shot, what proper aperture to use,what shutter speeds to use, etc etc. Your shots were taken at night and night shots are never easy (even if you're equipped with a D90.) If you want to digdeeper, go find a photography book at the library or at a bookstore.

Right. I'm not being a smartass, but I figured that. I can tell how much of a difference good light makes. That's on the list of things to get in thefuture, along with a tripod in the near future. Thanks for your advice though.
I have The Digital Photography Book and I read most of it, so I picked up on a lot of the tips from there. Most of ithas to do with keeping the camera steady though... Night shots are the worse when it comes to movement and shakey hands, that's why I need a tripod. I'm not quite sure about what you mean when you say frame a shot though? Does that mean getting objects straight in the frame? I have a hard time with thatwithout a tripod. Like the photo where the building looks like it's leaning. I'll take all of your advice. Thanks for it.

When I mentioned framing the shot, I meant how to capture an effective image as opposed to just pressing a button and getting a picture. Anyonecan take a picture but not many do it well. It's not a knock on you at all btw. You have to figure out what makes an image interesting and what willcapture the attention of someone that looks at the photo. You might have an interesting subject (such as the building) but is the shot you took the best way ofpresenting it? Let's take a look at those car shots. Were those really the most effective angles you could have taken? The one from below the car isn'tfocused correctly and you're getting weird things (like your shadow.) The other one it seems like you're shooting horizontal to the car. Ask yourselfwhether there's a better way you could approach that shot. It's also pretty important to keep the rule of thirds in mind too.
I wish I had a D90

'sall good, my apologies then. Good luck shooting and have fun.
ATL, try shooting in Manual and just mess around with the shutter speed and aperture until you get comfortable with your camera. Also, for night shots, tryincreasing the ISO (as long as your camera remains steady).
I also shoot with a D90 and find it very easy to shoot in Manual. You can also try adjusting the levels, contrast, sharpness, etc, of your shots in PS for acrisper looking picture. Good luck.

for those shots, change your w/b. what aperture are you shooting on? at night, open it all the way and keep your hand steady for a long exposure.boost up that ISO, enough so it can take the night shot, but not too much so its noisy/grainy.
Rikan, here you go (my bad on responding late)
to see my pics from that evening:

Cool. How does white balance work exactly? That's one thing I never learned about. And I really need to start using the manual option on my cam. Also...
Tripod recommendations? What should I be looking for in a tripod?

Can anyone recommend a decent but fairly priced light box or mini photo studio w/ lights?
Doesn't have to be overly huge, just for taking accessories (ie: watches, phones, etcc.) and maybe shoes.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

^^^I am sure everyone will suggest this but get the 35mm f/1.8G. It is about $200 and it is a pretty good all around lens. I don't shoot with it a lotmyself but it is good for low light settings, can do some good portraits and is an overall good everyday lens if you aren't a zoom-in guy.
