What is Yoda doing at Birddog's place ?

Welcome and have a good start into the D70 realm.

Cheers

good luck and have fun with your cam many hours of fun await. look for something outside the square and click.

Well done!! Better than my first shot which was of a half dead Agapanthus

kfandst,

Congratulations on your new purchase.

Your first shot looks a bit like Birddog praying to the converted .



We are a nosy lot, what lens did you get with the body .

ta ta for now,

Nice shot! Now keep posting! That little man would have to be one of the most photographed in Belmore


Geoff.

I think I have him in one of my shots too

Fozzy, used the kit lens for that shot. Thats all I could afford at the moment.

Enjoy your new camera!

yay! Welcome!

Nice first image - well done

Nice shot - welcome

Simon.

Nice to see you have 'joined' us. Congratulations on your purchase and i don't doubt for a minute that you will have many years of enjoyment from the D70.

Hi kfandst

Great first shot. Mine was a disaster but still, in accord with tradition, I bravely posted it here and got a few nice but totally undeserved replies.

On the other hand, your photo is really good. It's in focus, is interesting and has a nice balance to it - and the comments are well deserved.

Well done!

Hope you post many more

Cheers

Graham

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I would like to make my own newbie comments on my first shot. Does anyone disagree?

- the white bar in the background is distracting.

- rule of thirds suggests that subject should fall on the grid lines. The subject is shot it the centre. Perhaps a different placement could have improved the compostion?

- there is too much dark area in the background.

- foregound leave not blurred enough.
