As some of you know hubby just got me the Nikon D80 that I have been wanting. It has only been 3 days since I got it but have been trying to get a grasp of the basics. I went yesterday and took over 200 photos of this, that, everything and nothing. There is nothing fantastic by any means but they are pretty decent considering I am just getting to know the camera. I just used the lens that came in the kit this time it is a Nikor 18-135 mm and the built in flash when needed. I am going to give the Tamron a try in the next few days and see what I can come up with.
Anyway here are the pics. :)
#1. This photo was taken at about 10:30 at night. It isn't great but I like it. I like the shadow and light in it.

#2. This was taken yesterday. We went to the river so I could take so shots. I love the colors and the detail of the reflection on the water. Just gives me a tranquil feeling.

#3. I really like the colors in this one too as well and the shadow and light and the reflection off the water.

#4. I used manual mode here and I changed the ISO to make it darker to give it a more dramatic look. I may not be great but I like it.

#5. After we left the river we went to a spot that has a small hiking trail. I just loved the way this looked. I still do.

#6. Kinda self explanatory. Just a stump of a tree with moss growing on it.

#7. I like the effect this picture gives. The colors and light and shadow.

#8. We were driving home and I wanted to take a picture or 2 of this. It is right on the side of the road. The roses are wild roses. With all the growth in the background it looks like a little paradise to me.

Thank you guys so much. I wasn't going to say anything until I knew for sure I was accepted but I will anyway. It is killing me not telling anyone.
Hubby bought me the camera cause I am intending to go to the Italian Institute of Photography in Milan next October. I need to put together a portfolio and he wanted me to get to know my camera well before the time came for me to go. I have a year to learn the ins and outs of my camera before going to Milan to study. In the meantime you guys will probably be getting new photos on a weekly or bi-weekly basis so I can get some input and opinions and critisms. Hope you all don't mind.
Thank you all again. :)

I was searching old threads for camera suggestions and found this post. I was just wondering if you were still going! That would be so exciting.
