My cousin brought her new baby girl by my office the other day so I snapped a few pics.
This was my favorite:

There haven't been any posts to this thread for a while so I thought I'd add one:

Taken with the kit lens...

I'm new and still learning. I just got the new f/1.4G 50mm lens and that razor-thin DOF is tricky. Anyway, here's one I took of my niece on Christmas Eve:
...

Admittedly I am a beginner and I know I have tons to learn but what I meant was that, for example, the picture of the boy was taken using aperture priority set at 1.4 and ISO 800. The shot of the...

I'm not sure what I can do in the future besides use a flash. I was using the 50mm 1.4G for both of these shots, which I purchased to help in low light situations. The white balance I can figure...

I have Photoshop Elements and I used it to look at the histogram:

I'll be honest, I don't really know much about histograms. How do I find out?
I'm pretty sure the white balance was set to auto.

Here's one that on the D40 screen looked just about perfect:

This one looked pretty good too:...

How accurate is the D40's LCD screen when it comes to exposure and contrast. Sometimes I take a picture and on the screen the exposure looks great but when I view it on the computer it looks a bit...

Wow, I can't wait to get the AF-S lens.

What should the WB have been? The lights there were all incandescent bulbs.

I thought I had to use a shutter speed of 60 for flash.

EXIF on the first one:
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/600 second = 1/60 second = 0.01667 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 38/10 =...

I didn't have a lot of time last night to test things out. I ended having to use the flash tonight. It was just too dark inside. I'm not entirely happy with the pictures, partly because it's just...

So are you saying I shouldn't use auto or set the max to 1600 instead of 800?

Thanks for the response, Phil. I do understand, technically, about f-stops, shutter speeds and ISO. It's just putting them into practice that I don't have much experience with.
I have been reading...

I am brand new to the D40 and to dSLRs. I'm going to be taking photos of trick-or-treaters at my Grandmother's house Friday night. I was reading through some other forums and, for a similar...

I just picked up a D40 and I've been going through and looking at all these great pictures. I'm a DSLR novice and I want to be able to take pics like this one. I think I will be picking up the...

You don't notice that the corners are all a bit darker than the rest of the image?

The air show is over now. I guess I could go take some pictures of the sky but it's pretty cloudy today and I...

I attended an air show last weekend and I guess I'm seeing "vignetting" on pictures I took at full zoom. I have the Lensmate 52mm adapter installed as well as a Hoya 52mm UV filter. I see slight...

A quick tip if you use Firefox as your browser. You can install an add-on called FxIF that lets you right click on an image on the web and when you click 'Properties' any EXIF data will be shown (if...

WOW! Just beautiful shots! Did you have camera set to the vivid color mode on the ladybug and peacock pics?

Wow! At first I thought it was just two different shots. I didn't see the tiny little dog walker in the first picture.
Pretty amazing comparison!

I just got an S3IS and was looking through this forum. That website you referenced doesn't seem to be up any more. I have been trying to access it for a couple of days now. Anyone know what's...

I saw an Olympus Type H series 1GB xD card on sale for $49.99. Will this work ok with my Fuji F10 camera?

Thanks.
