Disclaimer: This post will be void of any half naked plastic girls so if you came to fap you have to options: Fap anyways or search for better material somewhere else.

Now that,thats outta the way I welcome you to my picture dump of my last few trips with the newly aquired camera.Most of these shots are rather mediocre at best but I hope to learn from them for future photo trips.This Blog wont turn into a photo blog but ill post some of these from time to time to get some advice from bloggers with more experience.

Hit the Jump and bash my pics XD

The picture you see above is one I am rather confident of but then again these long night exposure shots are rather easy to make and its kinda scary to stand in the woods with such an expensive piece of equipement all by yourself.I also did a shot in the opposite direction and I guess a too long exposure isnt good either since the lights kinda blurred out in it.

It was hard to focus all in the dark since the autofocus didnt really work and I had to manually focus onto something and it was harder than I thought.I wonder if theres a more elegant way than messing around with the focus and praying that the picture will turn out halfway sharp?

I try to take most of my shots in manual mode and its sometimes quite a hassle to figure out a good setup.Ive noticed quite a few times that even if the scale tells you that the picture should be correctly exposed its over or underexposed in the end.This isnt a big issue under controlled lighting and evironment like doing Figure reviews but as soon as you leave your home it gets a bit more complicated.Sure theres the Option to Use Aperature/Shutter Speed Priority but I feel that I might rely to much on those if I get used to them.

Another thing I noticed is that you cant always trust the manual White Balance settings either when doing outside pictures.This picture has a horrible blue tint even though I took it with the daylight setting.I wonder if this is due to the fact that I took it during Dusk?

I followed Anonys advice and started to use the Auto White Balance afterwards and took my pictures in RAW + Basic JPEG format if theres a need to readjust the White Balance afterwards.To my astonishment the Auto WB seems to select the correct setting in most cases and there was no need to readjust any of the pictures I took after following his advice.

The following pictures were taken at the Japanese Garden and Nordpark and I did everything manually for the very first time.I didnt use a Tripod and some of the are rather shaky ^^;

My absolutely favorite picture of the whole Japanese Garden set.These Girls simply ran into my frame and I love how naturally it turned out.

Overall Id have to say that these rather lack punch but I guess it was because of the April Weather

It took me quite some time to get my butt up again to take some more pictures but yesterdays weather was fairly nice and I tried the Schloß Benrath and the Rhine.I shot the following pictures in Manual mode RAW and Basic JPEG with Auto White Balance and since the JPEGS turned out fine I didnt touch the RAWs yet.

Dont wonder about Shaky pictures because I once again forgot to take my tripod with me ^^;;

I liked the light in this one.

Its kinda hard to get good low angle shots.I somehow always tilt the camera so that I am getting weird angles.

Nice Car!

Ive already talked a bit with Smithy about how to get some more Punch into my Images and he recommended me to buy a Pol Filter and to hope for bright Sunshine.If you have any other hints be sure to tell me :D

I hope I didnt bore you to death with these pictures and I promise its back to scantly clad plastic women soon XD
