First Newbie Photos.
Hello Everyone!
This is my virgin post! I have had my D70 for 6 days, and here are a couple of pics I have taken. Please be nice-I'm still learning, but LOVE this forum.....some of the photos on this site are purely inspirational! This is my husband's keyboard... 
...and sepia guitar. 
Welcome Stormgirl - and very nice images. I really appreciate the use of Depth of Field on both shots. Especially the guitar.
And only had the camera for 6 days - we will be looking forward to some sensational posts from you in the future. Some great storm shots perhaps 
Keep posting Cheers, Craig
Thankyou for the warm welcome!
To be honest, I think I took the easy road and shot both in Auto, and I thought the keyboard shot could have had a slightly larger DOF, but that is the wonders if digital photography, you can take as many as you like on different settings to get the disired result, and delete the rest!! Looking forward to taking heaps more, and getting to know my D70! I'm yet to try out the 70-300 G lens I got with the twin lens kit....maybe on the weekend!! ...and yes, JordanP, hopefully some storm shots!! 
Wow... auto... they're not bad for auto.

Erm... "Forum"?? 
Welcome stormygirl! Nice shots - have fun playing with your camera. It's a definite steep learning curve, isn't it?!
Yes, it is a VERY steep learning curve, but at least no film/developing costs are wasted in the process! (just a huge amount to outlay in the beginning!)
Welcome to the forum stormygirl!
Nice shots....the more so for a new D70 owner! Virgin post? Only in the land of the barbarians!  Regards

Also welcome to the forum stormygirl...
For a new user and first shots - excellent. Keep shooting and posting, and the constructive comments will follow to improve your technique. ta ta for now, fozzie
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.
Welcome StormyGirl.
You'll like it here, but only if you like expert and honest advice mixed with a healthy dose of friendly rivalry and a sprinkle of humour. Love the shots too - but I've always been a sucker for a Strat (or even a good copy). S. Simon

Welcome stormygirl - excellent shots for both 6 days of having your D70 and using that auto thing
Guess your husband loves music Chris

Welcome.
A very nice start you are having with posting these very nice photos. I'm looking forward to seeing more and I also believe you could tell us a trick or two. Cheers CD
Thankyou everyone for the fabulous welcome!
Manta: The Strat aint no copy! She's the real deal!
sirhc55: Yes, Husband does like music! So do I, but a microphone is a little boring in a photo unless you have a macro (which I don't ATM!) I'm looking forward to posting heaps - as much as free web space will allow me to - and receiving some constructive critisism, as I think it's a great way to learn and develop new techniques!
Welcome stormygirl, nice pics and keep it up, keyboard looks ok as my brother has a music school and teaches keyboard,organ,piano etc.. so i had really never thought of taking a pic like that and well has turned out well for you. I know you will enjoy your stay and learn lots as we all do here.

Very nice, and I agree that a little more depth of fielf would serve you nicely on both of these. Although I'm a Gibson man myself good pictures of guitars are always nice to look at. It's a little more compelling because of the lines that lead you into the picture. The Keyboard is nice, but the lines aren't as prominent. I think also that the keyboard would look better if the corner in the top right wasn't in, and the entire keyboard filled the frame.
EDIT of course this isn't something I do really well, more something that I simply notice when I look at pictures after the fact.
Hi Stormygirl! Welcome!
Two talents! All I can do is take photos.. tried/still trying the guitar but have not really got past the basics... New page

Hi Dooda,
Yes I agree with you on the top right corner of the keyboard pic - it shouldn't be there! If you knew the position I was in to take the photo you might understand why it is there!!! But I still think it's not bad for a newbie....will get better! Practise makes perfect, as they say!! I'd just like a little more time to play!!
Oh, I should have clarified, it is a pretty minor little thing that I mentioned, and doesn't detract from the photo at all. I agree, it is very good for a newbie. I just wanted to find something about the photo, as sometimes you want to hear more than simply "good photo" type stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that.
Besides, its a lot easier to spot it on another person's photo than to spot it when you're actually taking the shot. Sorry if I looked a little nitpicky (even though I was I guess).
Family. Nice shots, and it's good to see yet more musically inclined (that's someone who plays their music while leaning, btw) people join us. Please make sure that you and your hubby read this thread, and also try to make it down to Lygon St on Friday next for the Mini meet and pizza. g.

Maybe a new thread idea ?? My two favourite guitar models would have to be the Gibson SG and the Fender Jaguar. Love 'em both. g.

Hi gstark,
The strat is 1995 made in USA. We think it is a tri colour sunburst with maple neck. Sounds bloody lovely through a Laney amp! 
Sorry Stormy - no offence intended! It was difficult to tell from the angle that's all. Now, if I'd HEARD it ... different story!:wink: Simon

Nice shots stormy - the music and photog connection is very strong here.

G'day,
Just catching up with some of the threads so welcome to the forum
Taking these after only having the D70 for 6 days shows a creative eye, I assume you're not new to photography just new to the D70? Great to have another Melbournite
Cheers, Mudder Aka Andrew
There were no real strats made in 1995. None have been made for wuite some time.
Says he with a 77 USA fretless P-Bass Who says I'm a snob?
In all seriousnes, sounds nice. Leigh's younger brother has recently acquired a beautiful Gretsch White Falcon, and he runs it through a Fender Bassman. This guitar is probably one of the most mose beautiful I've seen or played. The finish is immaculate. And we're way off-topic. As if I care. g.
