Bored or Tired?
I just got my new camera today. My wide angle lens broke about a week ago and that caused a mad rush to figure out what to do since I am leaving on a month long photography trip in two days. I had been wanting to upgrade from my Sony A100 to a Nikon camera for awhile and now was the time since I would ether invest in a new lens for my old camera or invest more but in a new camera that will last me awhile. I ended up getting a Nikon D90, I would have liked the D7000 but it is really expensive and I could get the D90 used, and an 18-200mm Nikkor lens. I spent all day reading the really long manual and playing around with its settings. I feel that I now have gotten accustomed to the main settings but have not explored to detailed customization available. I also managed to make some nice shots while playing this one being my favorite. I like how she is leaning so it looks like she is resting on the edge of the image and the diagonal of her arm leading to her face which is where the real story of the exhaustion from a long senior week is shown. It is hard to tell though if its exhaustion, bordom or a combination of the two.
so jealous! I really want the 18-200mm lens, but its too expensive for me!!
ReplyDeleteI was very excited about getting it, I had been eyeing it along with the new nikon camera for a long time, to although I have found that it is not the best at focusing. It can only precise focus to about 15 feet and anything beyond that is at the infinity setting which isin't real sharp. Still a great lens for general use although I am thinking it might have been better to get two different lenses that would have covered a longer range and provided better quality for similar cost. Just thought you would like to know my opinion of it so far, maybe you wont be lusting after it so much anymore. Thanks for commenting I always appreciate hearing your view on a photo.
