Thanks bruh! smiley

Well, I've been making plans to buy this Cam since they released it. It's not that I have the money sef. But it's the only entry camera that 'ld serve me well. I almost gave up when dollar-naira ish started. From 118k to 175k (Okey Japan Price).

You can check out D3200.

SmooshCHN is my Oga.. Let's chill for his suggestion. smiley
haha.. Thank you Kindly.
I'll check it out.

SmooshCHN:
Thank you Michael. I appreciate your time and kind words. As Brimmie (The Oga wey no like to accept him title) said, the Nikon D3200 is an enthusiasts camera. It will suit your purpose judiciously cheesy Other cheap DSLRs are Nikon D90 with 18-55mm VR for 340$, here Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm VR for around 270$, Nikon D80 with the same lens for 320$. Other options too are Nikon D5100, D7100 if you have enough money though. If you're just a hobbyist and just want pictures for fun no need to go higher than the list above. If there's any other question you have you can quote me I'll gladly reply. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I will look up the D3200, I know nothing is impossible. I will always keep you guys posted and also follow the thread.

Even though I've not started, I'll learning from you guys already!

SmooshCHN: Hey bro! I didn't know there's a big difference between the 50mm 1.8G and 50mm 1.8D. The 'D' doesn't Auto-Focus on Newer Bodies.. True?

I just left the Market to buy for a friend.. He uses D5200. And the price difference is much.. G - 60k, D - 30k.

There's a huge difference between them. The 1.8D is a vintage and the G is the newer once for modern day cameras. For this 1.8D, If your camera does not have a focus motor on it, you won't be able to auto focus on this lens. Cameras like D3000 series (3100, 3200, 3300) D5000,5100,5200,5300, D90,80,70. The lens auto focus is noisy but fast and has durability issue. Just stay away from it if you don't plan on buying the 1.8G later. And it's cheap. If Nikon gives you same thing cheap and expensive, go for the expensive one. You'll enjoy your money better

If he's not using a full-frame camera, a 50mm would approximately be 85mm which is slightly telephoto but also a very great portrait lens. Just so you know. Good choice you've made. You won't regret it.

Re: My Photo Diary: Mobile And DSLR Photography. Updated* by SmooshCHN: 5:56pm On Apr 25, 2016
Made up my mind to active this week and today was worth it.. Nature themed pictures with iPhone 5s. You don't need a Pro Camera to take good pictures.

Re: My Photo Diary: Mobile And DSLR Photography. Updated* by SmooshCHN: 6:13pm On Apr 25, 2016
I took pictures of my camera set up while taking a long exposure shot of the flowing river against the bridge.. I'll upload the long exposure shots tomorrow after edit but for today, this is what the scene looked like in camera..

I don't know which picture you're referring to but most times I just drop to the shadows and increase contrast till I'm satisfied with what I want.

Don't worry.. I understand.. In situations like this, you can go smaller. Go for other beautiful things around you. Just pay attention to your environment you find it equally as interesting as a great landscape.

When someone asks how important is knowing how to retouch my images.. It's equally as important as knowing how to get the right shop.
There was a puddle of water on the floor in front of this Hotel and I made use of it. Placed my phone so close to the water to get the reflection. And the rest is to retouch. So simple. All images always need on enchantment or the other. You have to learn that.
1. Original image. No retouch
2. Where most people would stop after retouching
3. My final image
