New Blog for Beginners
Hi everyone,

I have started a new blog to help people that are just getting started with a DSLR. The content is growing and video content will be added this spring and summer.

I would love for you to check it out. If you are new to the DSLR world let me know if it was helpful. If you want to suggest content that is always great. I would love some feedback and thoughts.

Both lenses you mention, from what I read, are not that good in low light. If you can stretch your budget, I would look at the Nikon 16-80mm lens, also you can try the 35mm prime, I've used that lens on my D7100 and the results are great, the only draw back is it isn't a zoom lens, you have to zoom with your feet. Rather than spend money on a lens that won't give you great results, try out some lenses by renting before you buy.


That one is a little out of my budget ... However I will keep my eye open for a used one .... Another person mentioned renting a lens ... I need to check out the shop the next city over ... All the camera shops in my city went out of business :-(

for a casual lens the tamron 18-270 is fine. if you want to improve your portrait (wedding senior pics) try the Nikon micro 60mm instead of the 18-250 macro, much better lens for the camera you are using.



Thank you I will check it out :-)

Some "real professionals" might oppose your approach.



I'm not sure I understand what you mean. A friends daughter had zero budget for a wedding photographer so doing her photos was my gift so her grandmother could enjoy the wedding instead of take the pictures. Another friend of the family is getting married and I agreed to do her wedding for free because her wedding money was used to bury her brother last year. My kids have friends that are low income and if I didn't do them for free they would not have had senior pictures at all ... I did not mean to offend anyone by my post. I just know my limitations and don't want to take credit for being a professional when I have a long way to go before earning that title.

Lens Opinion
I was wondering if anyone has used the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 VC PZD All-In-One Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras ... I Have a Nikon D3000. I shoot for fun but have also been helping a few people out with Senior Pictures and the occasional low budget wedding .. I typically do not charge I just like to do it and hey I can help someone who can't afford a "real professional" ... Anyway I am looking for something that is affordable so I am not having to switch my lens so much ... What are your thoughts??

I was also looking at the Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM for Nikon

Having Prints Made

The Canon Pro series has the Pro-1 and Pro-10 that use pigment inks. The primary difference is the Pro-1 uses much bigger tanks and is aimed at higher volume printing than the Pro-10. The (usually) much cheaper Pro-100 uses dye inks.

All color prints can fade, depending on display or storage conditions. You can ruin any print if displayed where UV from sunlight or inappropriate bulbs reach the print.

The Canon pigment ink prints are expected to have 100 year, or more, life. The dye ink prints are expected to be 30 or more years. Nobody knows for sure, because nobody has had their prints that long.

I've had a Pro-100, that makes the shorter life prints for a few years, maybe four. None of the prints have shown any fading and they are displayed in various places. One is in my son's office where the light is anything but conducive to long print life. There has been no fading issues.

Thank you so much for the info :)

Thank you everyone ... I have been under the wrong impression of inkjets for a long time now ... I will start printing my own work from now on and save myself the hassle of taking them in...

HP & Epson have inks/dyes that are archival for, I believe, 200 + years. While you look very young in your photo, they will still out live you. :)

I've been using Epson for a while now and like the results. I have a couple of large prints (20x30) on my wall for over 10 years that still look great.

I think I have been avoiding inkjet prints for a long time on misinformation. I was always under the impression they would fade in the first few years ... Thank you for the link

Having Prints Made
I am getting frustrated with photo printing services in my area. I want prints made but they (walmart and meijer and walgreens) always auto crop. Even when I speak to the person working they tell me they can not change it. I do tweak them in Photoshop and sometimes I crop in post production but I resize it so it is not some odd ball size. I have considered just printing from home but I know inkjet prints do not have a long life span like old school developed photos. Any advice on being able to have my prints the proper size without the "professionals" messing them up??

Need an edit education
The lights are on an edge so the healing brush may end up bringing in surrounding colors that are not what you want. Try the patch tool, I think you will like that result much better. :-)
