Default First DSLR & First Photos From It
Hi!

Picked up an Olympus E-420 yesterday and these are the first photos from it. I have never used a DSLR before and these were taken on manual after I had read the instruction book and played with some of the settings. Anyways...

Olives on the counter - I would not eat these....

Ewww

My Harley gas tank - yes it needs washed.....
Tank

Turn it up....
Turn it up!

Great job, especially for starting out in manual. And it looks like you've already discovered the joys of bokeh!

Keep up the good work.

(And I wouldn't eat the olives, either.)

Thanks All for the kind words.

Yeah, I'm not sure who left the olives out, nor for how long they were left out - but it was there so I snapped the shot....lol.
