Dustin's feedback thread has inspired me to come out of my own shell a bit. Here's a few 'walkaround' shots from a few nights ago when the wife and I were out. I still don't feel like I've shot anything great with the new D90. I've been bored and uninspired, but doing this might get me going in the right direction. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/629597.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/629598.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/629599.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/629600.jpg" alt="Upload">

1: BOOOOring. what is the point? What about the picture is supposed to move me? <BR>2: I like the Bokeh <BR>3: Tree in the way and the power line. <BR>4: It's a light...nothing more.

1. "checks cashed" sign? <BR>2. bokeh's good but the subject looks soft and is cut off <BR>3. tree and power line <BR>4. it's a light!

1. Didn't like it either. Someone else did for the reflections. <BR>2. yeah <BR>3. Stupid cable. Part of shooting with the 50 is learning to move around. I guess this is how you learn. <BR>4. They all are. <BR> <BR>Thanks. I've been buried in manuals trying to learn the camera and my SB600 and a few other things. Technical stuff on the brain. I decided to bump all the gear and go with the 50mm and no flash to think about what I see instead of gear to fiddle with. I guess the lights stood out to me.

1) next time get the whole sign with a bum standing under it looking forlorn. <BR> <BR>2) see # 1 - substitute hooker next to it looking happy. <BR> <BR>3) The 3rd one would kind of work if you photoshopped the power line out of the shot. <BR> <BR>4) Find a light with some character

Nate, <BR> <BR>I can't add much to the crits but props for putting your balls on the block. I know it's like getting kicked in the teeth but in the long run it will make you a better photog. <BR> <BR>I'm looking forward to more of your shots !
