Default Taryon's Photography Thread

Thought I'd make a thread and keep it posted with my photography

Just bought a D5100 to learn photography with. It's been about 4 weeks now since I've started. Let me know what you think!

What's with all the weird license plates? You have access to those and put them on before taking photos?

Thank you very much!

Fortunately I got the d5100 for a very reasonable price from my friend (second hand) otherwise I would love to get newer/better ones It will do for now I think

Few more photos!

It's a possum

Thank you! They are damn ugly all right hahaha
Lucky you don't have them! A couple years back I destroyed my S15's front hitting one of these buggers



Took this photo last night - my brother's rx8

All of my photos are taken with the AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 3.5-5.6G so they aren't the best just yet!
Will be getting 35mm f1.4 shortly
