Before you start flossin your "2k camera" you should work on your camera skills.
Some pictures look blurry...

Maybe it's just me.
Aside from all that, good stuff.

i didnt know the d70 went for 2000 dollars

this is wat i think since you wanted us to let you know. please dont reply all defensively i'm just trying to offer constructive criticism

i'll only talk about the first pic.

using shutter priority was smart, but i dont know why you picked such a slow shutter speed (1/125), its a drag car, your pics came out blurry cuz your shutter speed was too slow. your camera picked an aperture of f/16 so im guessin you had plenty of light to work with. next time pick a shutter speed of at least 1/1000 the camera should pick a larger aperture (if not adjust your exposure compensation) your pictures should come out much much sharper.

you framed the shot kinda weird too. you cut off the roof near the top of the pic, and at the bottom you showed pavement, nothin special about pavement, try to get more of the car in your shots.

i think you can resize your pics larger. i always shoot at the largest picture setting, with the quality set to high. it makes a big picture, but i'd suggest resizing to maybe 500x700. your pics are really small the only reason i'd figure is because you have 56k and a lot of pics.

thats all i notice right off the bat. you seem to know what you want in a photograph, so just read the manual, understand what everythign does, and let it go from there

2 grand you should have kept.

Most 300 dollar camera would take better pictures than what you're working with...before you start acting like a baller make sure you can back it up. RTFM!

An expensive camera doesnt make a great photo, the photographer does. Keep at it man.

Agreed but if the photographer cannot use the camera properly the technology is "wasted".

Not necessarily, although it appears that the majority of the members here think that a expensive *** camera will magically improve their skills. I've seen photographers with Lomo cameras, pinhole cameras, even with disposable cameras create art, it's the photographer's eye and creativity that makes the difference. The Cameras and lenses are just tools to a photographer, like a brush is to a painter.

at best, the pics look average... and i see them in a different light when one tries to tout his/her "2k" camera...

upgrade the skills first with the low end camera, then upgrade.
