Default Honing in on my SLR skills...

Just a few more shots as I am learning how to use the camera, all shots were at 200 ISO, and Im pretty sure what I was adjusting was the shutter speed to make up for the light differences. I did mess with the F-STOP a tad bit, bit it wasnt making enough difference for me to tell what it was doing.

Well here she goes..first two were edited obviously, but the last 3 are raw(just border was added). Any suggestions? Im learning, so let me have it!

Well, photography is all about the lighting. Better lighting = better color.

Also adjust via saturation in photoshop. Do you have a polarizer?

No polarizers here, just the kit lense.

You live in St.Pete too huh?

Would you be interested in doing a photography "outing?"

Like a bunch of us could meet up and just talk about photography and learn from each other. Maybe at like Barnes and Nobles in Tyrone mall or something. Then we can go take pics downtown or something.

Just a thought...Something I've always wanted to do.
