First shots from my new Nikon D3000

I was in San Francisco for the past couple of weeks and with me was my fantastic new dSLR, a Nikon D3000. Yes, it is only an entry-level dSLR but hey, I'm just an entry level photographer myself. I can safely say that this camera has become one of my best friends.

I also started experimenting a bit with post-processing my photos. I have no previous Photoshop experience so I've just been using basic processing features like saturation, brightness/contrast and crop. Oh, I've been doing this on Gimp and it works like a charm (for my use at least). I renewed my Flickr pro account last month and I hope to do it justice this year.

I am genuinely very happy with the way my photos turned out in the end. The D3000 is a great starter camera for anyone looking to get one. For now, here is a set of my favorite shots from my trip to the Bay Area. I'm new to this thing so any feedback at all will be greatly appreciated :) Thanks.

p.s. - I know I've been overdoing this a bit lately, so I promise this is the last time I talk about these photos :) I hope you enjoy them.

I'm sure you were hoping for comments from someone who knows something about the technical aspects of photography. I only know about what I find beautiful and interesting - these shots! They are very well done. I especially liked the order in which you placed them. It created a nice flow and established mood and theme. Architectural elements, both close up and large scale, were especially intriguing. Thank you for sharing your work.
