      Hi :).

      Thank you all very much for the great advice.
      It is utmost appreciated from the bottom of my heart.

      I now know that my mistake was not just the issue with ISO that was too high for the shot but some lack of technique as well. I sure do need a LOT of practice but I’m definitely looking forward to it.

      Thank you all again for the great replies.

        Guys, I know I have to be negative here but I just can’t. These images are simply amazing and I enjoyed every single one of them.

        Well done!

        I m quite proud of this photo mainly because it happened quite by accident.
        I was photographing the birdies but when I looked at the shot I saw the light beam coming down.
        Most of you are probably thinking I am insane to be proud of it and the shot could’ve been so much better. I agree. That’s why I joined this site in the first place 🙂

                Alright so I guess here I go…

                Hi, I’m Michelle.

                My first DSLR camera and also still my only camera is the Nikon D3200 which I got June this year, thanks to my Husband for encouraging my stubborn self.
                Took me years to realize that I really wanted to be a photographer because I simply love taking pictures of just about everything.
                The photograph which inspires my style was a photo my mother took of my father years ago in a restaurant. We were sitting outside on the deck and there was a coin operated horse which my dad got onto just for the heck of it. It was funny and made a lasting impression for being unique.

                Unfortunately I can’t show you because my parents got divorced this year and I don’t know who received custody of the family photos…

                So that’s my story :).

                Michelle 🙂
