DJ Bana, I think its pretty dope that I can look at your pics without looking at who posted them and know they're yours.

criticism without any meaningful insight behind it or advice on where to improve...24y2uhb4wrjr
I'd actually like some meaningful criticism. I didn't just snap pictures, I found things I liked and took the time out to shoot a bunch of pictures on the same thing and chose one of the few I liked the most.
Yes... You will have that issue. Buying a different DSLR wont change the fact that you have to know what you're doing. In fact, the D40 isprobably the easiest DSLR to handle and to get used to the settings.Originally Posted by CashmereThought96
Im thinking of getting the D5000 as my first DSLR since my mom has a D40 it wouldnt make sense having 2 D40's in the house bestbuy has it for 799.99 is that a good pick up? school me on it whats the pros and cons.. My problem with the D40 is getting that all out professional look without having to od mess with settings i did a shoot for my wifes portfolio and it took me about an hour to get the cam shooting semi decent shots (at night) and it totally pissed me off.. will i have this issue with the d5000?
to be blunt, it shouldn't take you that long to get something decent. if you want a professional look, you have to learn the settings. autoain't gonna cut it. first, it seems like you might be unfamiliar with the most common settings (iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance). try usingaperture (A) mode, set your aperture to f/8, set your iso to 200 (make sure it's not on auto), dial in +1.0 compensation, use incandescent white balance(the light bulb icon), stick the cam on a tripod, check your composition and focus, and then shoot a frame without flash. that should get you something sharp,pretty much noise free, and with enough detail in the shadows to play with.Originally Posted by CashmereThought96

^that diffuser looks serious. i just use that rectangle square one. i dont even know how to use my flash yet, any good tutorials that ppl can direct me to?
you should look into the Lumiquest ProMax or the LumiQuest Quik Bounce. (you can get 15% cashback on eBay)
(or just use a rubberband and a index card if you're cheap. lol)

though. do you have any shots you can show as examples?
