Hello

Hi there,

My name is Robbie I'm fairly new to photography. I love taking automotive pictures, I've mainly been using point and shoot cameras and I've borrowed a friend's Canon Rebel. I've also liked Nikons, because of my Father's 35mm SLR film camera. I managed to score D3000 cheap for boxing day. And I finally started playing around with photoshop. I'm just here to learn and get some info

Here's a link to most of my shots www.flickr.com/robbie_r

Here's my first photoshop attempt

Wow nice start! Makes you want to be in the car having all the dirty fun!

Thanks Rick!

Thanks Gav,

That pic I took with my point and shoot PowerShot, and I forgot my tripod so I just panned it by hand.

Hello Robbie, welcome to Nikonites, Now that you have that new Nikon you can crank up the shutter speed and capture the car in focus, good attemp. There are a lot of folks here will to help you out with your new camera, don't be afraid to speak up and ask.

Thanks Bill I'm excited to finally have my own SLR

Welcome to Nikonites, Robbie. Good first shot. A suggestion: when shooting anything that moves, including fast moving cars or motorcycles, shoot in Shutter Priority Mode. It ups the shutter speed so it freezes the motion. Even some point & shoots have that mode. Try it...you'll like it.

Great thanks for the Tip Jack! I'll know for next time as I do intend to take a lot of moving pictures. Here's a couple from the new camera just messing around outside.
