My first D300S pics- A girl and her horse

Well, I just got my camera yesterday and these are the first real pics I have taken. I have a whole set of these and not many throw aways. Maybe I'll post more later. I am loving this camera though!

Sorry about the size!

No one likes them? These were just basically the first snapshots I have taken. P mode. I am really impressed with this camera and can't wait to start getting creative with it!

..... again... sorry about the giant pics. They would look better if they were smaller. Anyway, beautiful girls.... beautiful D300S!

Hehehe, Catherine the Great, cool pics.

Make sure you pay attention to your focus point, and wide open aperture. These photos could be a lot sharper!

Keep them big, photos are meant to be looked at BIG. I'll guarantee you if you start posting small images, you'll get replies saying things like "can you post a bigger version?"


Congrats on the new camera! P mode is an excellent way to start to learn your camera, don't be afraid to go to A or S (I think that's what it is called on Nikon) though.

Nice first snaps! Like DeuceFour suggested, start looking in how focus points work on your camera; Some images seem to be a bit on the soft side/wrong parts are in focus

These look blurry. I'd love to see some more shots that were in focus!

Make sure you read the manual about how to focus the camera.

I agree with Mitch

Thanks for the tips! This was only the 2nd day I had camera. I was shooting away in P mode. I will post some more when I get some time.


This one is one of my favorites. It's a crop from one of the ones above. I think it looks great!

.... but here's some of my friends pets.What do ya's think? I think the focus is pretty good in these. I'm learning pretty quick I think. The D300S is an AWESOME camera!!










...... and I like these flowers too.

Hi ImageX,

-The dog is a subject with character, however your focus is much more crisp with your second shot of the cat.
-The focus point is on the eyes which really brings you into the photo.
- In regards to the earlier photos, they are a bit blurry and some are slightly overexposed.

I would recommend reading "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. It really explains a lot.

Take care!

nice trucks Is that a tundra?

oh, and I like the girl shots. girls are very pretty, and riding a horse without saddle.. I am impressed.
Looks like a lot of fun, too.

It's hard to focus on focus with pretty girls in front of your camera, but that's your job . Real nice job on the kittie though!

Enjoy the D300s. It's a hard camera to outgrow.
