Photography – Gears

I’ve been lately pretty much exploring my photography skills, a long lost ambition now kind of came true. Simple reason, I can afford to buy these now which I couldn’t earlier.

nikon-d5000 A Nikon D-5000 is what I have, It is a Prosumer Camera (Professional + Consumer), after much research found that this one would be ideal for a beginner like me, who’d love to have the professional SLR options to some level so that it doesn’t overwhelm me too much and of course the damage on the pocket too.

 

Kit_Lens Comes with a Kit Lens which is 18-55MM AF-S lens, the D-5000 doesn’t have an inbuilt motor so I have to buy lenses that have the motor built-in, means a little more money involved.

 

AFS_DX_VR55_200_01_i Then I also bought a telephoto zoom lens (55-200MM), which does a pretty good job. In fact this lens seems to fare much better than the kit lens for the similar kind of shots. I’m a newbie and still can find out the difference.

It is a lot of fun and pain at the same time.

I’ve learnt that you click 50 shots to get one shot perfect, just the way you want it and you’d know :-) Planning on investing more time doing this. I’ve uploaded some of the photos that I thought are good onto http://fotoblog.rsivanandan.com

 

What Y’all think????

    I am yet to lay my hands on DSLR. Honestly an excellent choice. However on the photos I guess its the camera doing the trick not the camera-man….:-)

    Nice Pics!!!
