Hi All,
I've been using my D70 for a little while, but I'm not happy with the poor results I seem to be getting. A few of the problems are, nothing ever seems to be in crystal clear focus when zoomed into 100% on PC. Plus, when using an AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G (what does this actually mean, and is this a good lens), I find that it takes forever to focus, which is very annoying becuase I would like to become a professional photographer, especially with wildlife and this causes a lot of missed shots.
I also can't use RAW mode because the results, when viewed on the PC are horrendous. They have extreme cases of noise, even though those settings are at their lowest on the camera.
Plus, it never seems to want to focus on the entire foreground. A prime example is when taking photos of flowers or groups of items such as nuts. It seems as if the camera is focussing on one tiny part of the picture which becomes near-invisible with all of the out-of-focus detail around it. Any ideas on these problems, and what may fix them?
Please have a look at the following selection of photos and let me know what you think, or what I could do better.
Thanks in advance
Jason
