Happy with my purchase :)

It's been a while but I finally made a decision. I got a new Nikon D90 with the 18 - 105 kit with no regrets I also picked up a 50mm 1.8. I'm still learning the menus and trying to read the manual but otherwise I really haven't had much time to play yet Anyways just thought that I would share.

I did shoot a bit the night I got it at an outdoor concert (George Canyon), sadly I did use auto :blushing: for quite a bit of it but I'm happy with the photos and in the end that's what matters, to me at least.

Awesome, congratulations! I bought the same kit, works great!

Let me know how you like the 50mm on it, I have the 35 and not sure if I should add the 50 to my little arsenal or not.

Congrats!

Chris: I have the 50mm and it's a great lens although it has to hunt for focus in low light. Well worth the $100 I paid for it though.

Thanks Sherman! Found one for $100, maybe I'll bite the bullet - worst case I sell it for $100 haha.

Don't worry, the 1.4 has to hunt a lil too

<-- jealous....

You can't begin to imagine how much I want to get out of my superzoom and get into a dSLR.....

Congrats! I got the same about 2 weeks ago. I've been practicing the different settings. I've been trying my hand at manual shooting. I'm going to my bro's wedding this weekend and hope to get in a lot of practice in manual mode. I am very happy with my purchase, especially the 50mm lens. My sis-in-law is a photographer and told me to get that lens. I love that lens. It takes great pics. Look at the speedlights too.

Thanks for all the great wishes guys. I actually ended up in the store today with questions because I hadn't gotten the af set correctly, fixed now though (I need to get my eyes tested ) Hoping to get out this weekend with my daughter and some friends for a bit of shooting.

Thanks for not chewing my butt for shooting in auto that first night btw

Don't worry about it! We're not some group of elitists that judge every photo based on the mode it was shot in (at least not all of us). There is a time and a place for auto modes and all that matters anyways is the end result. We look forward to seeing your work!
