  1. I have the same thing & was about to start a thread on it too!

    Chief, do yours AR glass keep this nice blue tint? :pardon:

    Here a pictures of mine! (old pics, two more scratches are visible by now, thanks to dog friend of mine)

  2. Nice pictures!

    When you shooting in RAW you're seeing exactly what the sensor takes.

    As you said

    It's allows you to edit some settings after the picture was taken such as the white balance, the exposure, etc...

    I recommend you to get familiar with the "depth of field" if it's available on the D90. It should be.

    Try all the settings, see what's the difference when you use a F/3.5, F/11, when you use a 1/4000 sec or a 2 sec pose.

    After for taking pictures, I always do this way.

    1. Compose your pictures, using the rule of thirds (google)

    2. Adjust the settings

    3. Be sure nothing will ruin your pictures (people, electric cable, (depending on what your shooting))

    4. The most important, Shoot! :p

    5. Let breath your pictures, see them, but do your selection only the next day.

    And If you choose to shoot in RAW mode you will fore sure need an editing software. (Aperture, Photoshop, Gimp,)

    I really like the Nikon software Capture NX2. But be sure to have a nice computer :)

    Ho, And one of the best way to get a better eye is to submit your pictures so people can judge them ;)

    @ Redwatch Yes it's a 80-200 F/2.8 but a Tokina, a bit soft at 2.8 but great at F/4. It's also a Tamron 17-50 F/2.8 nothing to say on this one, just GREAT. I might change my Tokina for a Nikon in the future, not sure if I will keep the 80-200 or switch to the 70-200 VR

  3. Thanks PS! I dont think ill be coming out with masterpieces from the get-go, but with practice ;) I have read about shooting in RAW! How do you know your camera is shooting in RAW? (Im still reading the manual). :whistling: WOOOW, nice set-up!!! I really want the Nikkor 105mm..... :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    I have a 8GB Extreme III (is that enough?) :huh:

    OS, you should find this setting in Quality image setting.

    Otherwise if it's like on my D300 you can see on the small screen near to the shutter button, You should have Basic, Norm, Fine, TIFF, RAW.

    Be sure it's on RAW mode.

    Otherwise I think 8GB should be enough, for myself I use four, 4GB Extreme III.

    But when I'm out for the day I full only 2 of them.

  4. Congrats OSRep!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Nikon are always the best! And the D90 is the best you can get to practice.

    Looking forward to see some great pictures of yours!

    Only one advice start immediately shooting in RAW.

    And be careful, Lens are a bit like watches, you got so many choices, better aperture, better focal, you finish collecting many of them after :bangin:

    And I have a micro nikkor 105mm VR on it's way :Jumpy:

    My way to practice is to always go out and shoot, rediscover your city, 4 5 times per week, different hour, etc...
