It's a Nikon n6006. SLR.

I've been trying to find an affordable flat bed scanner that can do negatives as I am really not pleased with my end results right now. I saw one that was looking really good until I found out hat it had trouble with strips and would underexpose 10% of one side and overexpose 10% of the other. Now that I'm employed, my first duty is to get a new vehicle, next is to buy a Nikon D70 or a Canon EOS 20D.

Technical critisicms is the main part, especially for non living things, as I have a lot more time to compose for the shot and think it through. Living subjects in my photos are meant to be critiques more from a emotional stance over technical. I tend to try for very candid shots of my victims and it doesn't give me a lot of time to check my exposure and stuff.

Sometimes I don't even go for emotion, it's more about seeing a little deeper. My wife was shot at an angle just to try a different angle and see what the result would be, but I also had noticed the shades fo red. Did you notice that? The brick, hair, shirt. I found it interesting.

When shooting people, I look for Happiness, depression, sadness, loneliness and stc.. That B&W pic of my father in law, to me, is depressing. How does it feel to you? I already know that it could have been done better with a better film and a little bit more prep work (move that damn trash can). That's one pic where I simply cared about emotion.

Other shots like the side view of stone mountain was for a different point of view that isn't often captured on film. Also noticed the details brought out with the sun and shade. To me, it shows a lot more detailed over the frontal picture.

But, some pictures are very much point and shoot as you have said, such as niece pictures. It's more of a record keeping events. I should have taken those out I suppose as they are very ordinary.

I agree that more information on the pics can really help people offer advice. I plan on recording my aperature and shutter speed settings and time of day for future pics to make it easier for advice.
