Congrats @ptcasper! This isn't the first time you've won either is it, or am I not remembering correctly?

I've got to work tech support for a college football game tonight, so thought I'd get away from the house to get some shots from the lake that I didn't get yesterday due to lighting. Just as I was got back to the car and put up the camera, the rain started. I'm thinking to myself ... I...

This family was too cool. The photographer was going for a low profile off the grass angle for a shot of his sister (not in the frame), with the rest of his siblings behind him. They were taking turns for their pics. The little boy sees me with the camera, decides he doesn't need to wait...

And a few more ...

I was able to get out to the lake for a bit today after work for some playtime with the D7100. Here's a few samples of what I got:

Here's my submission, straight from the camera (no pp).

Like @Blacktop said, some awesome shots here! You guys are making me rethink my "hobbyist" experience setting and maybe I need to slide that over to "newbie". :D

Well, today is the first business trip since I bought the Nikon that it isn't traveling with me. Short trip to New Orleans, and it doesn't look like there's time to get away from work long enough to use it, so that bag stayed home. Last weekend, my wife and I took out both camera bodies to do...

I agree with @RON on the lighting. Some of it is a little harsh, but then again I have zero experience with lighting so don't feel right providing a ton of input here. I do agree that she looks comfortable in front of your camera, and overall the compositions you two narrowed down look good.

@Vana ... that's what I did, went with the MeFoto and so far have been happy with it.

And don't forget, 7:00pm Tuesday @RocketCowboy time :) - that's Texas time for anyone unfamiliar. :D

Howdy @Gulah and welcome to Nikonites!

@jdeg that SAS drive...2.5" or full size? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@ssnidey ... very nice shots there with the 24-120mm!

So here's my stab at it... Being a newbie, any advise on things that could have been done differently (maybe that's the intent for the end of the thread?) is welcome.

I think you're jinxing things @jdeg ! One of my home ESXi systems that I use for my work lab is complaining that a disk is timing out and going offline. Guess I'm doing some backups/moves this morning too.
