Thanks to SC_LEADER@JSP for showing me the site. This is my second thread because I can actually post pictures now, lol. As I've been told/seen the subforum is pretty dead so this is my attempt to draw some more traffic.

-I'm basically on a poor college kid set-up:

-D3200 Nikon with cheapo tripod and a few filters (UV/polarizer which don't do much). I have my stock 18-55 but will sometimes use my 55-200 for zooms.

-Working on getting a better camera to reduce graininess on some of the zoomed in shots (won't happen soon)

-I've been doing photography for about 2 months with a background in fine arts.

-Keeping in mind that I create these images the way I like them, I'd like to hear what you like/don't like!

Some cool shots

"-Working on getting a better camera to reduce graininess on some of the zoomed in shots (won't happen soon)"

One thing: A better camera isn't going to reduce the graininess specifically on shots that are zoomed in unless if ISO noise is your issue (in which case FX is what you want). I'm not sure if this is what you meant?

For post #2, second shot, you seem to have a fair amount of grain (actually in a few shots). Did you think about taking a longer exposure and bringing your ISO down?

was #7 a double exposure?

anyways, some nice shots.

the grainy ones were (for the most part) fully zoomed with 15-25s exposure. a mix of post-processing and lower quality picture files is the problem from what I know.

also some of them were copies pulled from instagram which turned out crappy(just look on the insta app if you wanna see the smaller version I suppose)

if I have the time ill go into lightroom and make some for you d2jsp guys

no, I forget the exposure (between 1 and 3 seconds). I used flash for the foreground so it froze the subject and I believe she moved out of frame after the flash went off so it blended
