Same here. Since I don't shoot with any kind of flash, M and AP suites me the best. When I am super lazy and don't want to think much, AP is thebest...but when I have to really put some thought into my shots, M is where it is at.

Got my D40x almost a month ago and am JUST starting to learn some stuff

I also really have no clue what to shoot, so I take pics of random crap.

I just cant get to have my pics be as crispy as some of you guys...is it the iso settings? Im ususally around 800, apperture? Something else My pics seem tobe "noisy" a lot of the time.

. Only thing is the flash is way too harsh, so I tried pointing the flash straight up, love the effect but now that I have a d90 the camera is too fast and I get dark sections at the bottom of the photo's. Guess it's time to hunt for a used sb-600.

Your ISO should change depending on the lighting you have to work with. However, for the pictures you posted, I would suggest lowering the ISO.

Ahhhhh thanks man. So with ideal or lotsa light the ISO should be lowered while in low light conditions up it, right? haha I needed that brokendown to me like twice already,

^^^^ ^^^ it may just be a matter of other photographers simply editing their photos a great deal more.... post processing can do wonders to liven up anygeneric photo (not calling out your photos generic btw, just saying in general).

Tsk tsk

I had photos from when this post first started. Someonementioned it, I went back, credited the photos & haven't been back since so...that, sir, would be incorrect. I'm only back today b/c I tracked alink.

I actually found that pic surfing online so...like I always say, if you want true credit for your work, you should probably tag it.

Nooow, there might be another blogger you want to check for stealing the pic initially

. But it twasn't I.

 

[ii2cky]

rolo - haha im sure u know what im trying to get at...

i see pics on ur blog and most are pretty good, so why not get the most out of ur camera, plus u been getting alot new lenses right?

i started using Av mode when i first started, and took the longest before using the M mode, so glad i did tho, now on average im about 70% M mode, 30% Av fordaily use

what i really need to start doing is shooting in Raw

Just got a D40 with the kit lens. Learning how to use everything properly. Been shooting in A mode. This is a shot i thought came out pretty nice. Somecritique would be good and tips on editing my photos if necessary. (i use aperture and iphoto, working on getting photoshop). Let me know what you guys think Ican do to improve. Im noob.

My car in the back, aunts is the 5 series. Cars are dirty but i thought it was a pretty nice shot.

PS: Right now i am shooting high quality jpg. Some insight on raw would be great. I read up on it but still dont really get it, and how to work with it.

Get a bigger and faster memory card and shoot raw. it makes post process super easy. next time tell your friend to get out of the reflection.

Sorry thats my uncle fishing

. So raw makes it easier toedit afterwards? Should i just shoot everything raw? I mean im not planning on editing all my images, but i seen what editing does and it looks great most ofthe time.

[halftime718]

Think of getting D3000, the D5000 is in my reach should i just get that or should i save up for a D90 is there alot of difference, i was thinking about gettingthe kit from Best Buy for around 900 something dollars for the D5000 any help would be appreciated.

 

[sigmakidownz]

^ save up for the D90. i can't think of any list to compare the D5000 against the D90, but i'm sure google will have some answers.

If you dont plan on editing your pics, then there is no need to shoot raw. I am not sure if the D40 does it, but you can also shoot booth raw and jpeg. andlike they other guy said, a bigger memory card is nice to have. good luck with your future photography bro.
