While this isn't a picture of me, I do believe it's a self-portrait, as the contents are that of my first child, which is a piece of self. (Yes, I am bending the rules/thinking outside the box :))

I just got back from a trip to California and I brought my D7000 along. I just got Lightroom 4 for Christmas and didn't really start using it until this trip. Really makes a difference, I think. Any tips on how to make this one better? original:

This is a gnarled tree in Golden Gate Park in SF.

Before the D7000, been using a D3000. Got my D7000 last night. Opened it, loaded the battery and ran out to try to take some moon pictures. Rookie mistake #1: I didn't have a flashlight or headlamp to change settings Rookie mistake #2: The D7000 is a way different beast from the D3000 Rookie...

I'm starting up a store and wanted to see what other store owners' experience is with it. What kind of sales numbers do you have? How much traffic? Do you sell just prints or do you also sell framed stuff?

If anyone's selling one, great. If not, would it make sense to look for one used or refurbished? Or should I go with new?

Found some free software on the 'net and tried it out. Works pretty well... this is from Kilkenny Castle in Ireland. Not sure of the EXIF on the photo.. HDR images don't seem to keep that info. How's it look?

This is from a fountain outside of Skytree in Tokyo. Some little kids playing in the fountain at night...

I recently uploaded a lot of images and found the current method to be tedious. Having to browse for each individual image, and then being limited to only a few per upload, made it cumbersome and time consuming. Other photo sites have ways to interact directly with click and drag and don't...

This was taken on my way to the subway in Tokyo. I pulled it into Lightroom and jazzed it up a bit. Does it work? Make:NIKON CORPORATION Model:NIKON D3000 DateTime:2012:09:08 11:05:47 ISOSpeedRatings:100 Flash:16 Software:Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6 (Windows) ExposureTime:1/200...

I took this one and played with it a bit in post processing. I think the effect is kind of cool.

Some lizards in Hawaii... These are back when I first got my Nikon before going to Hawaii and hadn't really learned about ISO and noise. A shame... but they still came out ok.

A little romance to brighten everyone's day...

I have some primate portraits, too. These are from a macaque monkey park in Kyoto. They were literally just feet away...

Looks good. I'm finding in my trials that lower ISO in dusk/low light is way better to get that noise out. I don't go over 400 ISO if I can help it and I try to go as low as 100 and just use longer exposures... I may find over time that it's not the best approach, but it seems to work ok for me...

Here's one I took on the walk back to my hotel two nights ago. It's Tokyo Tower reflected in a building's windows. Exif data Camera Nikon D3000 Exposure 30 Aperture f/6.3...

Here are a few I took in the past week or so...

Below is a link to my Flickr set where I've posted pictures taken on my trip to Japan. Flickr: parisi17's Photostream They're all taken using a Nikon D3000 with various lenses, exposure times, ISO, etc. Some were taken in RAW, some in FINE JPEG. All have post processing done using Picasa...

Nikon D3000 user here (will upgrade to the D5200 if it ever comes out). Been shooting for a few years as a hobby and learning as I go. Ready to make some jumps to the next level of photo-awesomeness. :) I like to shoot nature, landscapes, bokeh and have really started to get into night...
