New Amateur Photo Buy

Hi All, I'm new to this site and I am looking to exchange "How To Photo" Info in all areas of Photography. I use a Nikon D-3100 which I purchased about 1 year ago and have had a good experience with this camera, however I'm always looking to improve without having to use Post Photo special effects or corrections. I enjoy making my captures as I see through the Lens exclusively. I have the kit Lens: 18-55mm and I have a Nikon DX 55-200mm1:4-5.6G ED and I find these adequate, although I would like to have more, but I'm limited because I am retired from printing and my monthly SS check is minimal.

Welcome, I see you have an eye for the Ink so to say. Glad to have you on board.

So what you're saying is that if you're asking for some help in making your pictures better, you wouldn't be receptive to someone suggesting you remove the branch in the upper left corner in #1?

I think the OP needs to tell what software he's working with in PP. Perhaps that would be a start to help him out.

I think what the OP is saying is that he does NOT want to do much in PP, so the primary PP for him would be cropping and ANY software would be adequate!!
I would suggest Picasa for the most basic, that still allows easy cropping, horizon straightening, etc.
A minor crop on #1 would get rid of the little branch in the upper left and would be very easy.

No, because I don't use post photo alterations/corrections, in other words I don't use PhotoShop or any programs like that. Not even my download program on my computer...

I don't use any software for alterations, I only relay on what I capture using my camera. No Post Production

Thank you, but I already have a whole array of Filters, I just need to practice with them to find best usage.

Welcome - I have been shooting for 50+ years - I agree that learning to do the very best with the image at the time of exposure, it is exciting when you achieve it.
To not do PP work is like shooting film and never developing.
Besides making a acceptable image out of a bad one is an art, not to be used as a crutch, do best with each tool.
Have both worlds
