New here on /p/ with newly bought Nikon D40.Took a walk this afternoon by the water to take some pictures and experiment a bit since I'm quite new to photography in general.Best shot I got, the rest didn't turn out too well. Taken with a Nikon 55-200mm F/4-5.6 G.Pic is edited with D-Lighting HS set on low and it's cropped down to A4 size and lowered the resolution from the original. Can post original or higher resolution if anyone wants.Opinions and/or tips to a new photograper? I guess you get these kind of questions 10 times a day though so I'm prepared for flaming/trolling.EXIF data available.
