Getting back into photography. Just bought a battery grip, circular polarizer, hoods/lens and a tripod! Loving this thread and all the feedback people are getting.

Exposures look good for the time of day, but they're all missing some punch. I'd add a little bit more blacks and a little more saturation to make the colors pop more.

Hey people,

Nice shot! I think it needs is a polarized windshield...but it's nice and sharp (although maybe a tad oversharpened thanks to Flickr) with good composition. The vignetting could probably be a turned down a tad too.

I wouldn't say the 18-55mm is garbage either. I think it's important for the overall learning process to start with equipment that isn't the absolute best. If you can learn to take good photos with your gear being the limiting factor, that just trains you to take even more awesome photos once you upgrade your gear. On the other hand, if you just go straight for the best equipment from the start, you won't have a full appreciation or understanding of why that gear is so good. |

A proper comparison would be comparing the kit 18-55mm ƒ3.5-5.6 to the Nikon 17-55mm ƒ2.8, for the sheer fact that they're about the same focal lengths, they're both zoom lenses, and they're both DX lenses on top of all that. Yes, the 17-55 will blow the 18-55 away in just about every way, but it's also over $1500. I would not recommend someone who's never used a DSLR before to start out with that lens by any means. Even still, the photos you posted don't really show much of a comparison...the 18-55mm looks like it did a great job in that photo, and your photo using the 35mm is completely different, so no real comparison can be made between the two. |
