Hello all, I have posted here once before a few weeks ago in an attempt to get some help deciding what DSLR camera to purchase... with help from here and from much researching I ended up going with a Nikon D5100 *gasp* w/ 18-55mm and 55-300mm lenses.


Anyways, I took the camera out for the first time today, just around the house due to the nasty weather. These shots were all taken w/ the 18-55mm lens as the 55-300mm is on backorder. The settings were varied from shot to shot, here are they are roughly... F/5.6-F/8, SS 1/15-1/250, ISO 100-400 (I know thats some serious variation but i didnt want to write it down for each image) Some shots were handheld and some were taken w/ a tripod.


Any comments, suggestions, or kind criticism is much appreciated!


Here is my very first DSLR photo!
