I think you get the point.

Great set of photos from someone first time out with a DSLR.

Go wild with it.

But try not to let the results become too contrived, too quickly - keep off the effects etc on Photoshop, unless you really know what you're doing.

Love your use of depth of focus and composition already has very positive signs - looks to me as if you're thinking about the photos, rather than shooting the sh*t out of stuff.  This could be why you're getting good results straight outta the box.  Keep using time to build the photo as you get more adept with the camera - it will keep your photos higher quality.

I have no idea what the tanks and the rail are doing in among those photos, but as you may start to appreciate - not all shots work!  :grin:

Edit hard and keep your standards high and have fun!

2nd shot for me would have been  :cool: as if you had focused in the tank as DH refers to it. Love the tones and silver cars can be a b1tch to shoot because of that so :afro:

Dont think much to your workshop bud... :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously though, good pics there.  Well thought out in my opinion.

Silver cars are an arse to photograph.

That's not fat.

That's plump.

There's a difference, which I fear Chuff may now feel obliged to point out....  :rolleyes:
