Here are a few shoot I took on my first outing with my D70. I am still getting use all the things I need to do to get pictures but I took these in RAW and used PictureProject to get JPEG without any processing.

I would be happy to hear your comments.

Barry,

Hello Barry and welcome. Quickly, I like your photos, but would like to see tighter crops on your subjects overall. The ivy is slightly out of focus (the little flowers are atleast) the top #1 pic needs to be a little bit lighter, as the water in the background lightens the image and darkened the subject. THat pic I would recommend a tighter crop as well. The steamship is a great subject, but I would like a tighter crop, and a little more contrast. Do you do any post processing? I highly recommend getting into something so that you can add pop to you pics. The Gimp or PhotoShop are quite common around here it seems. This was essential for me to get a great pic out of a flat one. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your comments Dooda.

When I find some more time I am going to sit down and get into Photoshop.

Can anyone recommend a good book on this package

Hi Barry,
Good to see your pics.
There are many books ,as you could imagine on Photoshop.

However I usually search the internet with a specific question / problem
In fact this forum has lots of links and info.

Cheers

I have got a couple of photoshop books and looked at a lot more.

My absolute favorite is Scott Kelby's "Photoshop CS Book for digital photographers"

Would highly recomend it.

Barry I forgot to mention Scott Kelby also does one for "PS elements 3" which
is a lot more affordable software. You may decide that is a better place to start.

Thanks for replies, guys. Looks like a trip to the local bookshop.
