Please give me your honest opinion. Worst case scenario, I'll retry shooting pictures for another trip.
As for dslr photos, not a single one is particulary well made. Also, you don't look good on any of these.
My advice is - first of all start by taking pictures outside. They are all blurry and bland because either your dslr and lens are not fit for shooting inside, or your camera settings are not set properly (I suppose it's automatic mode?). It will be much easier doing good photos outside, because there will be more light, allowing you to have more freedom in setting the camera without worrying about not letting enough light into the lens. Also, cheap cameras focus much better in good light conditions.
As for you - if you wanna do the photos where you exercise:
1) Drop the idea of lifting actual heavy weights - you are obviously struggling on these photos, we can see it on your face. Your facial expression is really silly.
2) Do some exercise that is actually impressive - no girl ever has said "Oh wow, look at that guy, he's doing butterflies, impressive". Do some deadlift, benchpresses, or maybe calisthenic moves like pullups.
3) Cannot really see the appeal of gym photos, unless it shows off your physique. On these you cannot see it at all - under the hood you can be fat, fit, skinny, or whatever.
4) Whole appeal of DSLR photos is the blurred background - it's hard to get it when there is a wall directly behind you. If you insist on the gym shots, try getting a better angle, or some machine that has more space behind it.
