Looking forward to see what you do in future.[/QUOTE] not really much in terms of subject around here unless I go out(and because of where I live, there really isn't much unless I catch a bus into town.. just bushland near house), if i'm willing to take a photo of a fork you can probably guess that. Problem is we've been having ridiculously hot days recently, and i'm only borrowing this camera from school to get used to how it works anyway, gonna take advantage of it for school project which is going to be about heritage buildings then something political/social. So should have more interesting things to take photos of once we get into that but past few days i've basically been limited to what's around my house. not gonna go out on 40 degree days once my final money commitments (basically school ball related stuff) are out of the way i'm gonna save up to buy my own slr. Thing is I only have k-mount lenses, where as i'd want to move onto a canon.. meaning I wouldn't be able to use this old 135mm manual focus which I quite like (and used for a couple of those photos), or the 70-210mm i got well, suppose theres those modification kits or whatever but just love that I can chuck these onto the camera i'm borrowing

my wireless shutter remote arrived today, but it turns out my D3100 can't use a wireless remote! Why did they do this...

I don't have the best camera out there, but I try and work my ways as best as possible.

that's some nice ass diffused light. also i want to also let everyone know that they have been posting kick ass work, i've been afraid to post things because i don't feel up to buff with you guys anymore

I feel bad posting critique on everything and not posting anything myself, but my point and shoot broke and i'm still waiting for the store to restock the D3100s. Here's two I took pretty long ago in what was probably the best set of pictures i've ever taken with that shitty Sony point and shoot. [IMG]http://puu.sh/gUhZ[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/gUi5[/IMG]

Couple of shots i took yesterday morning. Woke up at 05:00 just to try and get some good shots at the sunrise, but failed miserably unfortunately.. Need to get me a ND filter to be able to have longer shutter speeds and some new glass for better quality (getting some terrible chromatic aberration).. The last one would have been so much better (or maybe even good) if i had someone with me to stand as a modell or something..

I like the last one, but the sloped horizon distracts me a bit, but that's just me. The one of the dog is a bit too blue, if you shoot in RAW try upping the temperature slider. I really like the textile picture, the shaddows are really interesting. Spot on. I like cats. So I like your cat picture. Nice composition and the eye is pretty creepy. Provokes an emotion so I would consider that a win. TO those worried to post. DONT FUCKING WORRY. This community is brilliant for learning and getting critique, thanks to all you guys iv'e learned alot more than I could by just reading articles and shit. Plus on facepunch, not many peopel know eachother so are not biased in what they say. Post away.

I'm pretty sure Nikon uses 2.5mm plugs for the release cables, you could probably make a really long one for real cheap.
