Hi you are welcome to join us~

Happy snapping~~

u got the kit 18-105?

YapYap. 18-105 ;p

Reading thru the manual now... trying to get familiar with all the buttons :sweat:

 

[Bathtub81]

Finally got my first DSLR after 1 year of learning the panasonic lx3.

I just bought the d90 body with 50mm f1.8 lens only as I usually shoot portrait and landscape.

Hope to save up enough to buy the sb600 + wa lens.

Or maybe I should learn how to use my existing olympus flash in auto and manual mode. ;p

Ur nick looks familiar :think:

By any chance u r studying kr language?

hi all
i am a new user too. just bought the D90 after 1 mth brain cell killing consideration.

hope to learn from all the masters here.


anyway, i have taken some photos yesterday for a friend's baby's birthday.. most of the shots i took with 50mm f1.8 and the results are good.. but when i change to 18-105 mm len, all the photos turn very very dark. i was using manual mode and didnt change any setting.. experture f5.6, shutter speed around 1000 i think..

any advice why two lens react so differently? i am really a newbie in this DSLR.. hope u can be patient with me... thanks guys.

probably the f. number are different.

the 50/1.8 has much bigger aperture den the 18-105~

What burboy said. You're probably shooting at f/1.8 for the 50mm, whilst the kit lens starts at f/3.5 - 5.6.

Lower your shutter speed. For people generally moving about, 1/125 of a second I find is sufficient. 1/1000 is when people are really moving around...

Well, enjoy the quality it brings you! Its actually one of the lenses I'm considering at the moment too. Gonna rent it and try it out before deciding. But before that, 70-200mm f/2.8 VR ftw!

I'm already enjoying it! Been eyeing the 116 for almost a year now. Finally got it for my trip into the ice capped mountains. Just flew out 2 days agao and I am loving 11mm.

Will share pics when I am back.

Sometimes if you notice something odd, it often helps and faster to use the 'P' mode to check the auto aperture, shutter speed and ISO as a general guide, then tweak your manual settings from there.

hi there,im also into the darkside coz i just own a D90 with Kit lens and totally new with DSLR camera. hope to get some advise here.

Can i know what is the difference between 50mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.8?
when or where u will use this lens?

 

[thedarknight]

on a cropped sensor like d90 it can be used mostly for portrait work or head-shoulder shots.

1.4 can also produce lots of bokeh.

well yeah basically you use them when u wanna focus on a particular object/full length portriats.. the difference btw 1.4 n 1.8 is juz a stop difference which allows u to take good clear shots under low light conditions (eg. indoor shooting) without the use of a flash.. n of course there is a price difference the 2 of them.. 50mm f1.8 is quite cheap in the market like around 160+ whereas the f1.4 would cost around 450..

thanks guys for the advise

Happy shooting

haha hello all, been shooting with my kit for some time now and recently borrowed my friend's 50mm 1.8 to try haha. thinking of getting one of the 3 lenses below as my next lens, which would u guys recommend? i tend to like to shoot street and people as well as events. for now not so much into scenery hence no need to get a wide angle yet

1. 50mm 1.8
2. 35mm 1.8
3. tamron 15-50 2.8 (should i get the vc version? does it make alot of difference?)
