Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

First two days with the D70s

Postby kamran on Wed Aug 24, 2005 10:59 pm

Hello everyone,

I'm going to post a few pics that I took on the first two days with my new D70s (I've got a loooooong story to tell but that'll have to wait for a later time). A few beginner pics below from the 1300 shots taken on the first two days ! (many were deleted). I was learning how to handle the camera (still am) and was testing various different settings. Most were taken with AUTO mode (JPG Fine). D70 really is full of features. It's been almost 3 weeks now and I'm improving. BTW I also purchased a Nikkor 70-300mm G along with the 18-70mm kit lens.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum kamran...

I'm glad that you're enjoying your new camera...

#s 5, 10, 14, 17, 18 appeal to me... #5 is the best...

I also liked #07 due to the expressions on the guys' faces...

Is this Dubai we are looking at???

Keep posting...
Cheers, John

Hi,

I like number 2. It is almost there, just a bit of croping. The last one is also good :) Have fun with your camera :)

Yep, some of the pictures are indeed from Dubai (#6 and #17). Rest are from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

Well, these aren't exactly 'photographic shots'; just those pictures that turned out nice. Infact, I am a beginner who is eager to learn. I do take a lot of shots (done almost 7,000 already!) and that's the beauty of digital. I am learning as I am going along.

The weather doesn't help much either. Daytime temperatures linger at around 45-50 Celcius. A mere 5 minutes outside .... and I run in panting and sweating. One literally melts in such heat! Even nights are quite hot (35-40).

I'm waiting for winter which brings in some very nice skies / clouds with it.

Thanks everyone. Glad to be a part of this forum.
