Hi everyone,

I am about one year into photography and although I love it I am a little frustrated with the quality of my photos. I started out using our Pentax K100D we bought in 2008 and then upgraded to the Nikon D7100 in May 2014. I have two lenses, AF-S NIKKOR 18-140mm 3.5-5.6G ED VR and AF-S NIKKOR 85mm 1.8G. I am really struggling with getting good quality images although I am following all of the 'rules' I know of when it comes to focusing, when to use a tripod, etc. Chromatic Abberation is bad with my 85mm lens. My camera and 18 - 140mm lens had to be serviced by Nikon 2 months after I purchased it but still not happy with the results. It could be a user not equipment issue though :p

Although I have taken several photography courses and think I have a pretty good understanding of the exposure triangle, focusing, composition, techniques, etc. I thought I would try this forum for answers.

Looking forward to reading the threads!

Thanks

Nicole

Welcome to Nikonites, from another Canadian.
Browse the forums and don't be afraid to ask questions, I have the 85mm 1.8 AF-s, it is a great portrait lens.

Howdy Nicole and welcome to Nikonites!

Have you posted a sampling of your images for review? I don't claim to be an expert here by any stretch, but with a couple examples I would suspect a few members would be able to share some ideas on what's going on and how things potentially could be improved. Just a thought. Regardless, glad you found us and hope you find it as helpful and friendly as I do.

Welcome to the forum. I have found plenty of help and encouragement since I have been a member here!

Looking forward to seeing some images from that part of the world (my aunt lives in Rosetown, and the only photos she shares is of the snowfalls brrrr)
