Clean pics/cars. The blue fox is sick. Something about the front bumper always bothers me tho. But still looks better than my foxes

What kind of camera you got?

The Hoya 52mm Skylight is the filter on the end of the lens. You have a Nikon 18-55 kit lens, the camera is a D40.

The next lens you should get is a Nikon 18-200VR. It has vibration reduction built in which negates the need for a tripod. You don't really need to get a tripod unless you shoot in low light all the time or want to take pics with you and your honey. It has enough of a range to take pictures of 99% of the things you would want to, its about $650 (good glass is expensive but WELL worth it and you can continue using them as you upgrade the rest of your gear).

I started with a D80 and an 18-135 kit lens. Then it just started snowballing, 18-200VR, 50mm 1.4D, SB-800 Flash, 70-200VR (bad ass lens), D300 with grip, Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripod with Markins Ball Head, and the list goes on...

Thanks for the compliments guys, & thanks FoxGT for the tips. BTW, how can I get the blue sky to look more vibrant & less washed out?? Everytime I take pics, it seems to look so bright...

The reason is because your highlights are blown. You are overexposing the pictures. There is a +/- button on the camera, i usually have mine set to -0.7, which means underexpose 2 stops. Once you do that you can try turning the saturation up, use a polarized filter or if you have adobe lightroom you can saturate the blue.

That one is a Sigma Zoom Telephoto 100-300mm. Bird photography? At the track I use my 70-200mm and sometimes I'm far enough away that I'm zoomed in to 200mm. Lightroom is a tight program, especially if you shoot in RAW.
