Beautiful pictures!!

Gorgeous kitties!!

Oh my goodness they are so pretty! Stoli has the most beautiful eyes!

Wow....absolutely incredible pictures!! WOW!

Thank you everyone, I'm not completely happy with them but I think I'll get better at using this camera in time.

What great pictures! That first one looks like a Christmas Card

Lovey pics -- of lovely subjects!

Gorgeous cats and beautiful photos!!

Is that a digital camera? I just got a new one for Christmas.

Beautiful

yup it's a digital camera.

anyone know of a good way to print my pictures for cards? I've had a couple of inquiries on how to get them? I'm looking for a cheaper place for printing then resale...Shutterfly really wouldn't work.

They are beautiful pictures. Keep practicing and posting more pictures.

Gorgeous...

Nice picture, and nice start with your D40

Try spot focus on their eyes if you're having troubles... do you have the 18-55mm?

yup, i have that kit lens. I adjusted to spot focusing and it's much better, but I really have to be careful about camera jar. I did take some nicer ones today. And I'm really glad I figured out about adjusting the flash exposure. It's really helped alot. More pics to come tonight.....

Those shots are stunning!

You're going to have so much fun with the new camera. Yes, on board flash is never the greatest. Try increasing ISO or lighting in the room. Another suggestion is blocking the flash with something transparent (ie: tissue paper) or using a hand held flash and bounce off another area. Also, be careful about the colour that surrounds the subject since the subject's colour will also be affected.

Also, once you see the other lens choices out there you will realize the lens makes the camera. I have a Canon and I picked up a 50mm f. 1.8 lens and it makes a big difference for inside shots.

Once you have an SLR you become addicted to adding new toys to the base camera. It easily becomes an expensive hobby! Have fun Renovia!
