For the ones who have the old DSLR in the drawers and have forgotten it can shoot decent pics. Go get it.

I have my hands on a Nikon D5100. The 18-55 kitlens is enough. You can shoot great pictures with it.

My set came with a 35mm fixed and some accessories included. 200$/€‎.

Great way to get into it. Take the shot in RAW and a bit dark. Choose your favourite RAW edit software like some free ones, and Up the exposure a bit.
Shift the temperatures more yellow and green... and you are on the right path. Play along with the other sliders.

(I probably make technical mistake in "taking pictures")

Lovely shots.
Yeah no reason why an older camera wouldn't be able to provide good shots within its in good hands just like the newest cameras.

Very nice pictures!
What settings did you use?
I have a Nikon D5400 and I really can’t seem to get the settings right with it.

Great shots! I've got the same camera and recently got it out to try take some pictures but I'm a complete rookie when it comes to photography so my shots aren't anywhere near as nice as these ones but great to see what it can do in the right hands with the right knowledge!
