Default Learning to use my Nikon D80 DSLR... ***56K MELTDOWN***

Nice evening so i thought id go take some pics.
These are all taken on manual, without the use of a tripod and have not been edited in anyway. (Not clever enough to do that yet)
In no particular order

Nice pics mate, you have got the hang of composition. Love the last one of the scoop A LOT.

Looking good Frayz.

Just how photography should be, IMO, straight out of the box.

Some really good ideas in there, great composition in most of them, occasionaly let down by the backround, always a problem with "set" shots. But looks like you're getting the hang of the camera.

Nice one Frayz, some really nice shots there. Composition looking good, few blown highlights but most of the exposure is under control. Don't get hung up on using manual, AP to control the DOF then tweak (if needed) with exposure compensation will do same job but probably easier

Good job fella, looking forward to going out on a shoot at some point.
