First time with an SLR (motorcycles)

Blaze Z Blaze

These pictures were from my first time ever using a SLR camera. My friend let me borrow his Nikon D80 for the day and this is what I came up with:


1



2


3


4





Like I said it was my first time with something other then just a point and shoot. I have a lot to learn and hopefully can learn a lot on here! Please give me some feedback!!

Well for your first time, I think you did very well.

That second one "Nothing good can last" is nicely composed and the rattle can art just adds to the beauty.

I will offer my two cents! I like them! Better then my first bike pics! The second and the last stick out for me. Only thing i would have tried is shooting the second one in portrait. Although the message on the wall is kinda morbid if you think about it too long I think that msg with the bike on the right side of the frame would look cool. The last, a RR on the tracks - just screams Fast as a Speeding train (or some cheesy thing like that!). But as said - i like them!
I looked at your site - that Skitch shot... More brave then me!

From one new guy to another - Welcome aboard!

thanks for the feedback!! and thanks for checkin out my site... most all of the riding pics are taken with my point and shoot. Its hard enough riding and snappin pics as it is, i couldnt imagine doin it with my SLR.

Nice shots and Welcome to dgrin.

In #1 I would like to see more of the bike since it is the main subject.
If, you where at a 45 deg more to the left I think it would help the shot.

In #2 I would crop the left side since the subject is looking to the right and get him/her to take off the helmet.

In #3 Crop some off the left side alot of empty space does not add to the photo.

In #4 Very Nice photo I like how you can see more of the bike.


Take Care,
Chuck,
