i agree. on the first photo if you flopped your car the other direction, you could get some sun on it, and then you would be able to cover up the tables, chain link fence, and building, and just have the ice cream shop and your car.

Yeah - I'll go back and do it again. They only had three parking spaces. There wasn't anyone there when I pulled in....but that didn't last long. LOL I also think going earlier in the day, instead of at noon, to take them might help. The train station one, was in the early evening. The sun wasn't in the optimum position.

Very nice! You made a good choice on cameras! I had the Nikon D40x (now the D60), and loved it. (I now have the D5000) The D40 is a great camera for people who don't know what they're doing, and also great for professionals! And the price? You can't beat it! Congratulations! Like Dayton said, just keep taking lots of pictures! That's the best way to learn how and what to do. Enjoy it and good luck!

I love photography. Just never really took it seriously because of the crappy camera's I could afford. Now that I can afford something nicer and have some free time to do it in....excited about it.
