    How come my night shot looks so ugly?

    Just bought my D5000 today, didn't expect much but still... :embrass: Shutter priority, 3 seconds, no tripod (but I prepped it against the window frame)... I was expecting the colours to be rich but the sky still dark (like those marina bay night shots)... :( But somehow it just looks...

    Questions: Using Photoshop to post process RAW images

    I bought my D5000 today but I have some questions regarding PP my RAW images... I'm more familiar with opening a JPG and bringing up the adjustment window... so you can imagine my shock when I opened the NEF file and the PP window was totally alien to me... So some questions: 1) What's...

    What to photograph in Singapore?

    Sorry, I didn't use the search function =x But the difference lies in the fact that I'm looking for subjects not locations. For example if the suggestion is "animals", I can shoot them in almost any part of Singapore (no pun intended)... :)

    2nd hand D60 or D3000?

    Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I've asked my parents and they both agree I should go with the D5000 because $200 isn't that much (for something already quite expensive) because it has a tilt screen (I believe the term is vari-angle), wider ISO range, decent noise (or rather, lack of)...

    Need help with buying a DSLR

    I want a lower end one to try out, because I don't have much money (or experience to inspect 2nd hand cameras) and I'm not sure if the interest will last. And regarding the "colors are off" part, I read it from here...

    2nd hand D60 or D3000?

    Yup, D3000 lacks in-built AF motor IIRC, but has 11 focus points (compared to the 3 in D40/D60). D5000 is really good, albeit the price is a little high. D40/D60 is EOL, but are shops still selling them?

    Need help with buying a DSLR

    I read that the D3000 isn't that good, the colors are off, and that a D40 is much better. But a D40 is so 2006, is it advisable to get a D40 or pay more for a D5000? But a D5000 seems kinda expensive for me...

    Need help with buying a DSLR

    I posted my threads in the wrong forum I think... Anyway here they are: 1) 2nd hand D60 or D3000? I've already sort of decided to get the 2nd hand D60 to see how it goes (and if my interest will last), but nevertheless I will take your opinions into consideration :D 2) Things to take note...

    2nd hand D60 or D3000?

    Which should I get... I'm a 15 y.o student wanting to try out photography... I dunno if my interest in it will last so I'm looking for more affordable entry-level cameras... Should I buy a D40 (cheap, but EOL), D3000 (new, okay price but I read it has bad colour reproduction) or D5000 (new...
