Thank you. It was fun and a great learning experience.

Had a trip planned to the zoo but the weather wouldn't cooperate so tried to make the best of a dreary day

The only changes I made to pictures was to crop them. Everything else was shutter speed set to 1/4000 and then just playing with aperture, iso, and exposure comp and taking hundreds of shots, fortunately our flower bed has an abundance of these little white butterflies so I get lots of opportunities

Theses are cropped but no other changes or alterations have been made

I thought about that, the issue is these critters don't stay put for very long and won't let you get very close especially the butterflies so macro really isn't an option. I do want a good macro lens for photographing flowers and such. I am looking into a better telephoto lense with faster focus and image stabilization as wildlife photography is a prime interest

I'm still a beginner but learning to love using the manual settings more and more. These are a combination of aperture priority, shutter priority, and p mode and with the AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 ED lens that came with the kit. None have any retouching other than some cropping. I am really starting to see what the advice to upgrade to a better quality lens is about, I'm happy with the images in general but the focus is a little slow. As always, any and all advice and educational critiques are welcomed.

Thank you for the ID of the moth. Had no idea of what it was and it's the first time ever seeing them

Got a chance to play with the camera after getting some advice about back button focus and learning to use aperture priority and shutter priority as the first steps in getting away from just going full auto. So far I'm finding aperture priority to be more forgiving but love learning more about our camera and learning the possibilities of what I can do with it. These were all taken with the 18 to 55mm lenses that came with the kit when we bought the camera, can't wait to get out and do some more with the 70 to 300mm lens. I'm always looking for advice and information to improve so feel free to critique and teach

The without much thought comment has to do with framing and composition, not concerning the photography itself. I didn't understand what the store original tab was for, now that I do, it will be used from now on. Thank you for looking at the pictures I submitted, do you have any helpful advice for future attempts?

We take a lot of pictures but don't have a lot of photography knowledge, especially when it comes to moving (flying objects.) We have a Nikon D3400 we bought with 2 lenses as a kit, these pictures were taken with a 70mm to 300mm lens with the camera set to auto and using the auto focus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as long as it is put in a way that a beginner can understand and apply.

First time posting. We have a Nikon D3400 and hope to learn more, but also love the accidental good photos we get just taking pictures without much thought. Here's a few sunsets from our favorite marsh
