You are off to a good start. Those shots are very acceptable to me. The b&w image has excellent tonalities.
I do not have anything to add to those images.

Excellent, Beginner! You DO understand the exposure triangle and you have a good eye for composition. Do you have a partner that would go shooting with you? It helps to have a spotter with a good eye. My wife is reposnsible for some of my best images. She will walk up as I am photographing and say: "...did you this area over here yet?" It is usually an area I just walked by looking ahead to where I was then shooting. Another help is to just walk around without the camera for a while to get acclimated and to see what all is there. Often I see a great spot and get involved and totally immersed in making images there, ignoring just as great a scene nearby. One of my instructors had an exercise to students to survey and area, work out an envisioned photograph and then, turn around 180 degrees as see what you hadn't seen. Usually there's at least as good or better scene there as well. Take lots of pictures and be critical of your results vs. the vision you had when you made the shot and decide why they aren't the same.

Thank you! I’ve learned the exposure triangle and proper composition. I think the toughest part is finding good subjects.
A very good start. An excersize to find new subjects- take 50 shots within 100 feet from your front door. It's amazing what you can find

Hi all! These are some shots I got with my Nikon D3500 and kit glass. I’m a beginner and would like some feedback. Thanks!
I see a good technique and talent with a good eye. Keep doing what you're doing.

Really very nice work. Agree with what others have said. You've gotten some good advice on some minor points from the same UHHer who gave me great advice. The blog can be a great and efficient teacher.

Interesting you made the comment (further down) &q... (show quote)
Hi PaulG! Thank you for the great advice. I found that just standing in front of a subject and studying the different angles and light makes a world of difference. Thank you for your reply!

Nothing wrong with those images. Also nothing wrong with kit glass either unless you are shooting in low light.
I got a d3200 when I started in 2012. Have 2 not lens and still use that glass on a d7100. My goto body now is a d800. I have all the bodies yet. Enjoy and you will be surprised at what begins to be your main focus over progression of time.

Hi Duane! So far so good with my beginner setup. I agree, when pushing the ISO in low light, the grain is very obvious. One day I will graduate to a better setup but in the meantime, I’m happy with what I have. Thank you for your reply!

Excellent work on all of these, and that first one is outstanding.
Hi jaymatt! Thank you for your kind words. I really enjoy getting out and discovering different things in my own town and hopefully getting some cool shots.

Good luck, my words of wisdom...."shoot, shoot, shoot and shoot some more and practice, practice, practice and you know the rest!" Very nice images, composition, colors are there.

Looks like you are off on a good start.
Just keep taking pictures, look at pictures that you like, and try to emulate them in yours. That is the best way to learn.
You can take a photography class, and that is a way to get more feedback. But just keep taking pictures.
Someday you will look at your old pictures and you will say"Why did I take that one".
