Good tricks? Sure, buy a nice tripod for use with any night or evening shots. A good flash is also handy for better indoor shots and fill light. Other than that, just making sure you are using the correct shutter speed for the shot and adjust your Aperture and ISO accordingly.

Read the manual...
Check out flickr.com and search for Nikon/D80 groups to join. Lots of info there.
And most importantly just keep on shooting...
Most people say for every 100 pictures you take only maybe around 10 are real keepers.

Also post processing is a must. Photoshop or I prefer Adobe Lightroom.

I'm starting to really like the look of the side marker light on this car.

By the way, you have nicer flooring in your garage than I have in my kitchen.

with the fridge and cabinets and the couch not too far from there it could pass for the kitchen I wonder how the Tile holds up in the cold long term In IL that wouldnt last long from the flexing it would need to do with the serve cold and luke warm weather we see. Looks good.

Is that a collection of tires stacked up?

congrads on the camera!
