Putting my new 35mm to use! I have a 50mm that I just received yesterday and I plan on doing some long exposure shots! The bohkeh shot is slightly edited

Some Christmas lights I hung on a nail on the wall
Have to work with what you got right??? Haha!Feilong29, firstly a very nice dreamy picture, nice to see photo with darker tones. I will be very interested to hear how you get on with the 50mm on the D3200. I have been using one for about a month and currently have mixed feelings...though most of the discord is due to my technique with the lens, the VR lenses allow me to shoot down to 1/30 with no problem, with the 50mm I keep forgetting there is no VR
Been on new granddaughter photos last couple of days (she'2 2.5 days at the moment)...so a new victim has been added to the Family, and at the moment she doesn't moan when the camera is pointed at her.
Also an eclectic mix of some more shots taken with my D3200...
Have Fun

Wow, these shots are amazing! I got the 50mm just to complete a growing collection of lenses! I will be getting a 55-300mm later this year, I think. I think I will like the 50mm just as much as the 35; but it will have it's specific usages though (close-ups, portraits) but I really want to do some comparisons b/t the two (long exposure and such) and see which I like better. I mainly got the 35mm to record guitar videos and it's great that both the 35mm/50mm are at f1.8 on it's lowest aperture setting. I tried to do some bohkeh shots with my 18-55mm, not realizing it only went down to f5.6 and was soooo disappointed! I really want to get into this photography, heavily, and see just how much I can progress with it. It's going to be on hanging out at a busy intersection, waiting for the "right" shot!
I have a 3 year old who is photogenic but, she would have to've woken up in a good mood that day, haha! I'll be trying to get some b-day pics tomorrow; wish me luck and continued luck to you! Congrats as well on the new addition to the family

Thanks.
Ace pet shots, especially where there poses match, are they siblings. An interesting juxtaposition, my beloved pets below, one brown one black. The close ups were shot using the Tamron 60mm f2 macro, one of my favourite lenses (the trouble is so is the 35mm and the 50-300mm).

I had a failed attempt at doing a sunlight session :/ I couldn't figure out the right combination of aperture and shutter speed :/ Some are more edited than others:

Fellong29 - Love the expression you caught on you lab's face. It looks like you just caught him/her going through the trash. He looks quite repentant.

Well thank you! I'm REALLY surprised anyone likes my shots, especially since I just started taking pics last week. I have a long ways to go but that's part of the adventure

We all started out new at one time or another. Hopefully we all progress. Keep shooting.
I've been taking photography seriously again for just over a year, and still have a long way to go. The best practice is taking pictures, and learning from mistakes. I need to do more practice with focus modes, as I have always stayed pretty safe and chosen easy shots, but recently went to an Owl Sanctuary, where I shot the Owl photo earlier. I also shot a few of the birds in flight and can say that I managed to get just about everything in focus apart from the birds! So I need to practice on moving subjects, though my biggest novice mistake is rushing, I need to stand back sometimes before I start shooting and assess things more, I miss more good shots by firing off without reflection on what I want to achieve and setting my camera up, changing ISO and forgetting is a favourite. But the more I shoot the better I get gradually. I think learning Lightroom and processing RAW files is another important learning curve, to get the best from your shots.
Anyway a few more shots, D3200 55-300mm f4.5/5.6 DX lens, taken at a local wildlife reserve.
Keep the pics coming

Some Long Exposure trial shots; this was such a blast! These were just cropped for the most part. The 2nd one is my favorite

Hey feilong29. Problems seeing your attachments. Perhaps because they're all 'joined'? Not sure. But I tried to contact admin about it. Cheers...Brad
