thanks jackjill, i'm using a D3000 i got a few months back, still working with the 18-55 mm lens that came with it, i want a nice fisheye lens, not adapter tho, and a zoom lens, christmas is coming at a good time
You got a D3000? That's supposed to replace the D60 right? I wish my D60 shot like the D90, I love that camera but it's too bulky for my feminine hands. I find the standard lense is a nice all-arounder but seriously frustrating when most of my shots need more of a wide-angle/telephoto. I'm doing Portrait shots atm and I just can't seem to get that soft look I'm going for. Aside from the colourcast is there anything I can do?
yeah, it replaced the D60 and the D5000 takes the D90's place, the D3000 has some quirky add ins, i can do tilt shift editing on my camera as well as a stop motion feature, just wish it has auto exposure bracketing, oh well, i just wont be lazy and change the shutter speed manually for HDRs not experienced too much at portraits tho, at least no formal ones, really enjoy candid portraits however, but i'm sure there are tutorials out there, the only thing i can think may help would be to try and soften your lighting, either an umbrella shade or bounce all your light off white and back onto the subject (helps with harsh light spots), sorry i can't help much more
The D60 also has Stop Motion, I used it for one of my assignments at school because I didn't have a video camera. That's the nice thing about the D90 because it actually has a video recorder on it.
that would be nice, but very often do i find myself wanting to film anything, i got a point and shoot that i had long before my nikon that takes care of that, bout to go fuck around with some night shots cause quite frankly i'm bored as rocks and my camera is just sitting on the coffee table right in front of me
cool, never looked into it and still need to figure out what settings to put my camera on to make it work, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck reading manuals
if its like mine is you make sure theres no images you dont want in your stop motion movie, then you take your pics, go into the retouch menu, and it should be in there
The difference between picture quality between D60 and D90 will be minimal. Only difference in a slightly smaller picture size in megapixels (which doesn't matter) and a bit better rendering of ISO with the D90. As for portraits, buy a cheap 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4, check out E series nikon 50mm's on ebay, they go for around 60$US which is fuck all. They aren't very sharp wide open so they will give you the dreamy soft look you are after. No, the D5000 did not replace the D90, they are very different cameras and the D90 still outranks it entirely. The D3000 is no where near as good a camera as the D60 or D40, the D3000 has appalling performance at high ISO's. Get a D40. This explains why shifty thought your images look noisy, dinedgc. Since you are so anti post production, you may want to improve the content of your photos, cos they are kinda boring on the most part, don't get me wrong though there are some gems there. 18-55mm is a great lens. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, very sharp. You cannot buy a fisheye lens if you want your auto focus to work on your D3000. If you are happy manually focusing for each and every shot, go hard and buy a 10.5mm DX. I suggest you get the 70-300mm Nikon for a cheap zoom lens, if you do not need F/2.8 constant aperture. No, buy a D40.
dude at the camera shop told me wrong then about the D5000, oh well this was the fisheye i was looking at, what do you think? and i'm not worried at all about focusing for each shot, it'll be worth it http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Asphe...TF8&coliid=I1Q79G1BJQ9SWB&colid=2QMS2RORH8JMW and funny you mentioned the 50 mm f/1.8, i was looking at one of those too out of a zoom, fisheye, and the 50 mm, what do you think is priority? do have to admit the fisheye is wanted just for funky perspectives and shots
That fisheye is circular, eg it takes photos like this. [Broken External Image]:http://www.usa.canon.com/uploadedimages/FCK/Image/2008/Interviews/Laforet/NYC_FishEye_web.jpg Lame, in my opinion, may as well buy a 40$ fisheye attatchment. If youre going to buy one, you are best of just saving for a real deal. The 10.5mm Nikon DX is the one I own, and it's amazing. As I said, look on ebay for an E-Series 50mm Nikon f/1.8, they are extremely cheap, or else buy a 50mm AF-S if you have the money. Your priority should be a 50mm. They are really difficult to shoot well, and if you can master it, you can shoot anything. Fisheyes are great fun but are useless for anything serious. The D5000 has the same sensor and auto focus system, but lacks the lens compatibility and ISO abilities of the D90.
*edit im wrong about that fisheye, it is full frame not circular. But I would still save for the Nikon. Oh, and focusing manually for each shot is fucking annoying, and renders it useless for the only reasons you'd buy it, night time party shots cos you can't manually focus in the dark, and skateboarding because your subjects are moving to fast to focus on them yourself.
