First solder, feedback please :)

Hello community
Following this guide on soldering by abrugsch I'm starting to practice soldering..

This is the very first one, a resistor, I'll try to take another shot when the board is full of components..

Any feedback is welcome, thank you!

They look good to me!

It's hard to tell if they are shiny or 'frosty' but the look the right shape. Good job there

Thanks man

I took other pictures.. But apparently I forgot to post them!

They all look good! Are you sure this is your first attempt?

Ehm.. Yes, it's like 20 years since I was making joysticks for the amiga 500 with some friends.. Never held a soldering iron since then

It's like riding a bike. You never really forget
Good to hear you are (were?) an amigan

Hehe I guess you're right, but I never soldered before such small components and wires
I know I soldered the header pins upside down, so I have to try again :p

I was an amigan.. My last one was a 1200 pretty beefed up, but it's gone..

Thanks man!
