Can I Join In...? :P

I got my very own camera about 2/3 weeks ago, a shiny new Nikon D40

Here's some of my play around photomographs :)

Apologies in advance for the large dump :D

welcome!

not a bad start, some initial things to consider:

watch your composistion, the two in what looks like a warehouse have a lot of wasted space
consider this when you are framing the photo, though sometimes you can't get to an area you like for the best composition
for those times you can crop in post processing, though you may want to play around with cropping anyway before deciding you are happy with any composition

You may also want to look around at opening up your aperture (if your lens has the option), specially on the portrait shots. This will give a nicer bokeh (background blur) and add seperation of the subject and background. The first cat one for instance is better, though this may have also been due to the distance of the background from the cat through the window. Bokeh is also affected by focal lengths. Again that same cat picture you can see the window frame at the side of the shot, either compose to not shoot it, or crop it out after.

Oh and number your pics when posting, makes it easier to reference them.

Keep shooting!

I can definitely tell that you really, really enjoyed taking all of these pictures. Keep that love in each of your shots, and remember that you are taking them because you choose to, for fun and personal desire, and you will certainly improve quicker.

I agree with the above (no, not the spambot) statement on composition. I would advise you to look at each of your pictures after you take them, or, better yet, before you take them, while still in the viewfinder, and think about the picture as a whole. Consider these questions: Are your eyes being led to your target? Is everything in the picture adding to its entirety?

Keep posting, certainly.
