New Camera = PICS

[Jay84]

Well i FINALLY got my new camera just after christmas, a Nikon D7000.... a little expensive but i didn't want to have to upgrade within a year when my skills improve.

These shots are from my first 'play' session. First time using an SLR. They were all taken on MANUAL setting too, i think i did ok for a first time!

Some succulents flowers

My yearling trio of Amyae

My young female Amyae

A couple of my Diamond

And my FAVOURITE shot of my Diamond yawning!

Succulents are one of my hobbies,.

Great shot of the diamond yawning mate. That's an awesome first try. You'll only get better!

Thanks for the compliments Smithers, i hope i will improve. I havn't had much time to play around yet. I will be taking a beginners course this month (provided by the camera shop) so hopefully will be better from then.

I love the succulents, i have a couple of nice ones.

No lol... when they push the tongue out the forks are held together, they then seperate as it flicks. He has a normal tongue.

No i don't have a macro lens. These photos were taken using the 18-105mm lens i got with it. I also have a 55-300mm lens that will be used more on herping trips etc.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.... seems i am on the right track lol

Here are some more pics i was playing around with. They didnt come out as good as the reptiles.... i think mainly because the birds never sit still!

Normal and Yellow sided Green Cheek Conures

Adult male Princess Parrot

2 Young Princess Parrots

And finally a Yellow Princess Parrot (he was a nightmare and refused to pose!)
