The 18-55 "kit" lens I have is obviously average. Have not been real impressed with the quality. I'm looking for a nice lens for landscapes. I love the wide-angle types. Budget under $300 if possible. Just getting ideas right now and recommendations what you all shoot with. :)

Hey gang! Been looking on Amazon for an hour and I'm trying to get ideas for a sling type bag which will allow me to keep the lens on the body. I shoot with a Nikon D5200 and have the 70-300MM lens. The configuration ideally would allow me to walk around and keep the camera mostly in the bag...

Hey everyone! I have a Nikon D5200 and I'm trying to get some recommendations on a decent 300mm lens that will fit this model. The brand name isn't as important, but I would like something that has good, to above quality output. This lens also must be fully automatic, with vibration reduction...

Remember Pop Rocks, PacMan and MySpace? I heard MySpace is making a comeback so I had to look it up and sure enough, it's still out there. The interface looks totally different but it appears to be more targeted to celebrities and other ...self-promoters. I'll stick to my occasional Facebook...

Hello people! I have an ancient monitor so I'm starting to get ideas on what to buy next for my photography hobby. I want something large enough and of decent quality. I use a PC if that matters. I want something I can calibrate so my images can be as close as possible to the true output of my...

I recently purchased a D5200, upgraded from a D40. Looking for advice from experienced D5200 photographers on what camera settings to adjust from default to make your shooting experience more productive. I personally shoot in RAW format. I've looked into the Ken Rockwell online setups and...

Here's one I've struggled with for years, probably because I never really researched it. How to you get those beautiful images of a subject where the sun is directly in your face? Well, not the bright sun so to speak, but sunsets or sunrises. I've tried using the built-in flash from various...

We've all heard of Photoshop and many other image editing software but since I've been out of the photography world for a while I'd like to understand who uses online editors and why. Are there quality FREE sites out there and if so, please provide a link. My main focus will be working with RAW...

I'm getting back into my passion as a hobby but with the vast amount of websites out there I'm not sure what the best approach is for me to share my photos. I said hobby right? Well, a person would always like to make a little money from their photography work but it's not my main concern for I...

Years ago I owned a Nikon D40 with two Auto/VR lenses. The 18-55 and 70-200... I think. Not sure why I sold everything but I did. I got burned out on photography for some reason and sold everything. Yeah, it happens... Today is a new day - So, now I want to get back into the passion I loved...

I see they offer various price packages and wasn't sure which one would work for me if I decided to start using a site like that for customers. Right now photography is a hobby but I'm getting ideas for the future, when I upgrade my gear and decide how to market myself more, like a part-time...

Howdy! I've been out of the loop for a while taking photos but want to get back into it and I'm looking for ideas where to start building my portfolio again. Years ago I had nearly 2,000 images on Flickr but I don't have the site any longer. Not sure if I want to do the Flickr route again, but...

For over a decade I shot with a Nikon D40. I had about three lenses and all the basic stuff in my bag. I sold it all for a simple point and shoot because I thought I was done with serious photography but guess what? I was wrong. It's a passion that will never go away, just like people have a...

I will try to be brief with my questions so feel free to ask me anything you may need more detail on. I work full time but I'm free most evenings and weekends. I want to slowly turn my passion into a full-time profession some day. This may take years, I'm in no hurry. I'm 45 and tired of...
