[QUOTE="moose24, post: 375776, member: 33766"] Hi all, I took this using a D5300 with the 18-55mm VR kit lens. I've never used a DSLR before and this is one of the first shots I have taken with it. I will admit it was done quickly and on auto mode (sorry!). When I've had time to practise and take more photos I'll slowly take the training wheels off but at the moment I'm just looking for some feedback on what settings I should have used, if I were on manual for example, to get a sharper and cleaner photo. Looking at the technical side of things I'm guessing the ISO is too high which is causing a bit of noise. Also the scene actually had more of a dusky orangey/brown look to it than this at the time, is there anything I could have done to capture that better as this seems to have come out a lot brighter with a dark blue look to it? As far as composition goes I tried to keep in mind the rule of thirds by placing the towers of the bridge on the left and have the bridge sweep in from the right. Excuse the missus by the way, she walked right in to the middle of the shot as I was taking it. I will say that some of the other photos in this forum look brilliant so I was a bit reluctant to upload this but I am here to learn to any suggestions and advice will be appreciated.
