My first picture post...I was playing around with manual focus, fixed aperture, kit lens, and some basic photoshop stuff. Comments very welcome.

The shots look good, but are a little small. It might be an idea to link to a larger version. I'm also surprised you didn't have a fish shot as your first image post :wink:

Thanks guys. Now that u mention it the pictures are a tad small :). I was too busy playing with photshop trying to frame them.

The middle one is the best focused one, the other 2 are slightly off. I was happy with the bokeh i could get out of the standard lens.

The fish pics will come later - my 105mm nikkor macro is on its way from Birdie as I type. My photography skills are developing (and my expectations of the photos I want) so im not overly happy with what I have to date. And there is my big bright shiny new tnak still in process of being setup, so when thatsready im sure there will be a veritable flood of pics :D.

Great shots, I'm looking forward to the fish! I wish I'd never sold my two four-footers.. :cry:

I thought that these were pix of that very rare fish, the Northern Feathered Rosella Fish.

Just shows you how much I know about barramundi!
