- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Im a film student looking to get into photography (Ive been doing photography work for our school newspaper for awhile now using their cameras, mainly a D2HS, which I really like) but I really need to upgrade and get my own equipment. Im looking to do freelance sports and wedding photography, so ill definitely need some good portrait lenses along with a few that are a bit longer. I do like primes a lot, and am a Nikon fan ( I like the fact that I can use older lenses, I dont mind manual focus at all as long as it isnt for sports). Right now Im considering the D90, which seems like a great item at a great pricepoint. My only concern, however, is that I also want to use the camera for video, and the D90 right now is a bit subpar compared to other cameras.
I also need a recommendation on a cheap new / used lighting setup, Im thinking two external lights would be sufficient, maybe one softbox (or perhaps I can just make a softbox). Ill worry about video lighting later, as I start to make money hopefully.
O, and I forgot to mention another reason I want to go nikon is I have a fair amount of friends with nikon lenses already, so ill have a good amount of people to borrow from
