- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello everyone, I am new to the forums so if I make any mistakes on my first post then please forgive me. So a bit about me I am 25yr old Human Resource Student and executive but deep down my real passion is photography and thats why I am here, I am from India. So I have been clicking photos from the age of 12 with my mom's film cameras and have never stopped, it doesnt matter which camera I have but all that matters to me is getting the shot. 4 years back I had bought my first DSLR the Nikon D3100 with kit lens of 18-55 3.5-5.6, and later added a Tamron 70-300mm VC to my setup as I am into bird and animal photography but recently I have grown a fondness for landscape photography. So having used my D3100 for 4 years now I am pretty much contended with what I got out of it and D3100 is more than a camera to me its my teacher as I have not learnt photography with regards to manual operations from anyone, I practiced with my camera and got to know everything about the exposure pyramid, DOF, aperture, shutter speed, iso and every other nitty gritty of photography with it and this is when realised as long as you have a basic gear and a passion for photography taking good photos is not difficult. I learnt to shoot sports, wildlife, birds,landscape,light painting, long exposure shots thats is star trails, some astro photography with star decked skies and beautiful landscape as foreground all with my D3100,proving its not the gear but its the person who makes the image. So yes I still believe in this philosophy and I still love my D3100 but change is inevitable and we must change for the good, so now my D3100 is showing its age in terms of technological advancement and features, so now I want to upgrade my gear keeping my D3100 close to me. I also intend to take up a photography course soon to learn about the intricacies and build upon my self-taught photography knowledge. Since camera gear is costly here in India so I am on a budget, so I have shortlisted 2 choices which are as follows
1)Nikon D7100(body) with a 35mm f1.8
2)Nikon D5500(body) with Tamron 17-55 f2.8
So please guide me in selecting the best choice and all suggestions are welcome.Thank you
