Get a DSLR with some nice lens.

Awesome dude, only thing i can pick on is the pictures are fuzzy =/

Yeah, its weird, that happens on my wife's camera when you turn off the flash.  I don't know why.  They are more grainy then fuzzy.  The camera is a 5 or 6 megapixel, but its one of those point and shoot camera's.

Yea grainy is a better word choice, and for the camera you used they are great pictures ;)

Nice car..!

Nice pictures. maybe a lower shot so there is not so much black from the sky... my 2 cents :P

But for the camera you used its a really good shot.

Get a DSLR with some nice lens.

and a tripod.



tweaked, all the images seem a bit out of focus, especially the b&w(look at the wells fargo sign).
If you want to get into photography, go get a dslr like Blizzie recommended. A good entry level is a canon Rebel XS. I think BestBuy has a deal with camera and 2 lens for like $700. I highly recommend a tripod too.

Here's the deal:  http://www.bestbuy.com/si...skuId=9999128200050001

As for post-editing them, it could probably be done but there is alot of noise in the images in the black areas.

Those pictures would be great if that damn car wasn't in the way.....

This is my goal, I want to take pics like this.

If that is your goal, make sure if you put a light under your car to run the power cord from behind it, not in front and to the left. :)

remember to keep the subject close and noticeable.

your photos would look nice at a low aperture, but its a point and shoot.

nice pics anyways

It appears you were using a slow lense for the D90.  My dad bought a huge $2300 telephoto fast lense for his and the quality is unreal.  We had a lense like you were using on the bottom photo and it has a tough time focusing especially when used to capture sports photos.

I had just bought the d90 like two weeks before and was still getting the feel for it. had a lot more features than i anticipated, but now  i'm kinda used to it and the settings in different scenarios and lights. I chose the second pic to show the color and the distance was mentioned. the lens is the regular one 18mm.55mm that comes with the package bundled, now i'm looking to get a more professional lens for wider angles and longer distances.. I'm learning as I go along so far its a hobby for me not anything too serious..

For real shallow depth of field and surreal potraits, use a 50mm f1/4.

As far as i remember, for Nikon, the best wide angle lens is the 12-24mm. (the Tokina 11-16mm is said to be better) But i could be wrong since i dont have a DSLR :-)

And i have to disagree with the megapixel thing. More megapixels means more pixels on a surface, thus more noise. More megapixels only come to play when you blow up the picture for a big print and/or for pixel peepers.

Example, the canon 5d mark 2 which has 21mp and is said to be the best in the low light category isnt as good as the nikon d700 which has less mp and better low light performance. Same goes when you compare the canon 1d mark 4 anf the nikon d3s. The d3s just kills it in very aspects. But megapixels are useful for magazine photogs and ad shooters. The ones who shoots photographs for billboards and stuffs.
