Hi All this is my first time posting here. I love the web site topics, and the pictures. I hope mine are that good some day. I recently took a beginner class and now shoot with a Nikon 5600. Moved from a Sony NEX3.
I am a frustrated beginner because I can't take a good picture. Everything is over exposed out of focus or something else. I am trying everything but Blah pictures. I am also having a problem visualizing a picture.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I so want to get this and take real nice pictures.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Nice shots.
DON'T get frustrated! You'll get there. It takes time and a lot of shooting.
Just watch your focusing points and metering area.
Keep shooting and be cognizant of the camera settings.
Read/re-read the manual and try to learn as much as you can about the camera.

Welcome to the forum! You can take excellent photos with that camera. I can tell that you already like to go where there are interesting subjects. Sometimes you have to wait until a different time of day to make the photo look less blah.

Hello and welcome. Your second picture reminds me of the waterfall in Red Oaks Mills near the Covered Wagon (a restaurant)... at least that's what it used to be called. What is the location of your first pic? In terms of photography, it takes practice and experimentation. I highly recommend Steve Perry's e-books. They are very informative and I think will help you on your journey. David Busch is another author that I highly recommend. When I purchase a new camera, David's book is usually purchased as well.

Welcome and don’t give up! Photography is a million simple things to go ‘wrong,’ so make a short checklist to memorize what you’re discovering you’re not remembering to check and set when you shoot. BTW; I used to live in Garrison, along the AT, the river, hiking there and architecture is awesome.

Welcome to the Hog, the only thing I see wrong is that you need to level your shots, otherwise they are not bad, enjoy the Forum.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I do know the water fall in red oaks mill at least if we are talking about the one in Wappingers Falls NY..
The first picture is from the old stone church in Cragsmoore NY www.cragsmoorstonechurch.info
it is a great place to take pictures and also Sams Point is close.
The second is the falls in Beacon NY.
Are you from the area?
