I dunno I'd say that was pretty good for a first go with it.

The 18-55mm kit lens with the D5000 is very prone to lens flare, great if you want it, not so great if you don't...
If you did want to edit them you could desaturate the colours a bit and sharpen slightly to give the image the cool and crisp feeling you'd expect on a morning like that, but they're fine as is...

Nice.
For 'portrait shots', like of the dog, a good thing is to have a non distracting background. The door takes the eye away from the subject. A plain background is good for these type of shots. Another thing to try is to get down to the subjects level so you're looking at the world on their level. |

Well wolfie me duck, you use technical terms, you explain them. Is that so hard?
Wiki explains 'lens flare' as follows: 'Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.' Nice plain English explanation, that. So now I'll look up 'generally unwanted image formation mechanisms'. I really like 'material inhomogeneities'. I'm storing that one. |
