Hello from Ontario Canada

[Travis33]

Hello all, my daughter and I have decided to enter into the world of photography as a hobby. I have to say that it is a very cloudy pool to dive into head first. So many options for both hardware and software, crazy! Glad I found this forum, I have many questions. Looking forward to getting started.

Hiya welcome here,
A parent and daughter team, there will be no stopping you. Hard ware wise, I know now it seems a daft thing to think about, but want to think about storage of your files if digital, a three stage system is good eg three separate hard drives, external preferable.
Members here are a good group, there is always someone who will help answer questions.
Have fun with your hobby, look forward to seeing some of the results

Well right or wrong I picked up two Nikon D90's, might be a little much to start but the price was right. Plus I have some older "F" mount glass from My old F65. I actually was looking at new cameras until I read a thread here advising against buying new to start out...first helpful advice from my very first visit!

Good tip, I hadn't given that any thought yet. Any advice on editing software? I almost bought a subscription but as a hobbiest I didn't think that would be a great idea. I am essentially clueless so any tips would be welcome, thanks

A stand-alone version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom would work well for your D90. Since the camera is fairly old now you could use even outdated versions such as Lightroom 3.6, which I think you can probably find on disc for a little over $100.

A number of people on here have recommended Affinity Photo which I think costs about $50. That might be something to check into.

I use stand alone photoshop elements or as most people type PSE
Mine is an early version being used on windows 7

@Travis33 You'll most certainly like it here. It keeps getting better with time.

That's because I'm aging so well.
