Some, not many though. Do you have a deviant art? That's where I keep most of my stuff organized.

Beer cooler water, and cigarette ash on dirty pressboard. I used my foot/boot as a brush

That actually came out looking pretty cool. It almost looks like an acorn shaded into a background.

I does have some depth to it.

I bought a new camera today and went for a two hour walk around town to test it out. I didn't get any pictures of the skyline due to the bridge shaking so much but I'll try to go down to Weehawken and get some tomorrow night.

I haven't really worked a camera since high school so I'm getting the cobwebs off. I also have never handled a camera this advanced. I'm used to 35mm film. I really need to save to buy a better lens.

What kind of lens are you using? Are you using any filters? I'm taking a summer class on photography focused on film and darkroom and my camera broke after a couple of weeks. So I rented one from the school that had a zoom lens as opposed to the fixed one I was using and my photos started to become 10x better.

I'd post some pics but I don't have a scanner.

Nikon 18-55mm zoom lens. It's decent but just doesn't really take great night shots which is something I'm really into doing. I'll test it out this weekend during the day. I also didn't use any filters of any kind. I'll learn that stuff after I get the grasp of the camera. I haven't done any photography in about eight years so I'm rusty.
