I sometimes take pictures that I would like to show, perhaps get feedback, advice on what to change and what's good.

So here we go. My first picture for this thread.

These two I made when I got the D3200, was experimenting with the lens. I still feel more in control using manual!

Pretty much the same picture, but not the same focus point, thus changing the subject.

This was one of the first shots when I got the D3200. Being that my previous experience was with point and shoot digital or non-digital SLR, I was going manual mode with manual focus.

I really liked, straight on the camera, closing-up the picture, how detailed the wood grain was.

This one is a snap taken on my cellphone, on a boardwalk in Australia. I hope it's OK to post cellphone pictures... It's that trip that trigerred me to buy a DSLR; I preferred to use the cellphone than the point and shoot, and felt like a real camera was needed to get the picture I wanted.

Anyway, on this specific one I was trying to get camera flares to mix in with the boardwalk and trees. I could add flares in photoshop and it would be awesome...

Another picture from the Kooragang national reserve's boardwalk. Cleaner. I'd print that one...

The sky is almost always that blue in Australia. So much sun, great pictures opportunities in the outdoors!

For Halloween I tried to take pictures of jack-o-lanterns. It resulted in my first long exposure photography, at 30 seconds (the longest the d3200 permits)

Results are great in my opinion. I'll surely try that again.

I think this needs a person or another recognisable object on the boardwalk to give a sense of scale.

Experimenting with a tripod and longer exposure. I am happy to have fixed my old tripod. The sharpness and colors are great in my opinion.

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day.

Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the Flanders fields in France since the Napoleonic wars of the 19th century and became symbole of hommage to the fallen during the First World War.

Since them it is customary in Canada to wear a poppy for veterans day, or to a soldier or veteran's funeral.

This picture may not have been taken in Flanders Fields, but I made it to honors those who sacrificed themselves so our land remain free.

Plus I think it looks good.

I kind of like this picture of the smiling alpaca; how they are positioned, crossing over, all relax. I removed most colors in post, give more caracter to them I think.

This one is from Lago Maggiore, in the northern Italy.

20161102_064255_yl.jpg

It's taken from Arona, in the Piemonte. It's an early morning shot, but I figured it was too cloudy to get a good sunrise.

I like pictures with old radios, so when I started to teach basic photography to my son, this shot came to.
When I wanted to demonstrate some of the capabilities of the camera, I realized it has this color splash over b&w feature... But in taking the reds, brown came with it.

In photoshop I'd be able to splash the red, without the white, or keep the yellow center of the flower, but for an in-camera feature, it's great.

Here are some night time long-ish exposure. I think I am doing it right.

That's the transcansdian highway as it leaves Montreal Island

This one is remarkably brighter than what I could see with my bear eyes. I like what we can get when playing with longer exposure!

Does this one look familiar too?

That seems like a good looking radio, must have been the centerpiece of a family's living room back then.

I'd say from the style it's from post-war 1940s? AM and 3 shortwave bands. Likely a knob for tone, one for volume and one for tuning? How many tubes does it has? 7-8 perhaps?

Do you have more details of it? Was it recapped to a working order? It does look like a great piece of furniture.
