Just keep taking pictures and try different things. Take a lot and don't stop until you're satisfied

Lol sounds easy enough. Thanks!

Careful with your composition (framing), it's one of the most important aspects in photography.

As per usual, understand how light works & go out and practice.

If I'm being nit-picky, I could say that your attempt at the rule of thirds in your 3rd picture made you cut the rear end of your car, which could have been avoided by backing up a little bit. I like the leading line that the sidewalk creates, so if you want to keep that in there, it's great.
Moreover, the first picture has too much dead space on the top. If your focus was the steering wheel, you could've framed it tighter. If your focus was the whole interior, you could've framed it lower.

Hehe. Have fun with your shooting!

Nit-picky is good :p

Ignore the first 50 or so, school has me dumping photo classwork into there.

D7000 with 50 2.8 and 18-105 3.5-5.6. My first year of shooting. LOT more on Flickr, couple examples:

Cool stuff. Just realized you're from MD. Maybe I'll see you around this summer or at future 86 events (FT86 or club events). I may need some help this year for media coverage.

Yeah, just keep shooting. Compare and contrast your shots and see where you should improve on. Test out all features and gain some insight on what your camera can do. Most importantly have fun.

I took this about 4 1/2 years ago. I tend to come back to it every now and then.

That is remarkable. The colors of the bunny in perfect contract with the rich green and if that wasn't perfect enough you have a soft offset contrast with the 1 dandelion. It's very easy to project the personification of guilt onto the bunny when looking at it.

If I were looking through a photography book, of which I have been lately, I would have stopped at this picture and said "god...DAMN!"

Great job man.

I was on a business trip to Denver this weekend, and managed to get some time to go around and take some photos. I will post more as I have them dialed in, but here is the first one.

Interesting actually seeing how the shutter moves with different shutter speeds.
