Hi everyone...I'm new to both photography and this site, here's what I've been up to. I have a D3000 and want to go to the D7000. Any thoughts?

Your first picture is beautiful. Love it! I'm still trying to figure out what the second one is. The third is nice, too, but I think that it could use just a little more of the sun and a little less of the trees on the right.

I have nothing constructive to say, I think they are all beautiful! New to photography? Doesn't look like it!

nice shots-- the utah canyon pic - i think could use a bit more contrast to punch it up-- or try curves-- see what you think

The Antelope picture is rotated 90' to the right. That's why it looks a bit other-worldly.

Your first picture is absolutely gorgeous!! It looks like a picture you would see in an art gallery.

I love this first photo. I submit an alternative enhancement of the shot for your critique.
Original - Unedited
Enhanced Possibilities

The first one is great.....I just think the trees lining either side need to be lightened a little to show some detail

So- what kind of glass were you using? What mode? f stop, etc. or exif info? The second shot looks like my colonoscopy
results- KIDDINK! It would look cool in BnW. There is a similar picture in the book "The Art of Photography". YOU NEED THE D7000!!!!! You will notice a huge improvement over the D3000.

I love the first one!!! I have the D5000 right now and will be getting the D7000 for Christmas and can't wait to use it, here is my sunrise over I-40 in NC!

I have an 18-105mm lens, that day I was playing with a new extender...1.4 The exposure was iso100 125mm f9 1/15sec. I was using a neutral density filter 4X

Thanks betsout06, How do you like the extender? I haven't had ANY experience with one- can you use them with any focal length? Just telephoto? How soon are you getting the D7000? I keep hearing Nikon is going to be bringing out new bodies but haven't seen boo. So at 1/15 were you using a tripod?

tripod yes, I got the extender because I wasn't thrilled about a buying a heavier lens....I have the 18-105...I'm into landscape rather than wildlife...and I wanted to reserve the money for the wideangle...I'm happy with the extender...with the d3000 I haven't noticed any distortion...that may or may not change with the D7000. I took some wonderful shots using the extender on a trek in Peru....every shot there was incredible. The planet at that altitude is breathtaking....in those px the landscape blurs the eye to any technique error. here's a few examples

OMG! Dude you are SO gonna benefit from the D7000. If your shooting that well with the D3000- HOO-HOO! It's gonna be good. What did you shoot the portrait with? Have you used any primes? As good as your composing is that would be a monster step up from kit zooms, while keeping your weight down.
p.s.- sorry about the dude- I just saw the Elizabeth on the photos :oops:
