[QUOTE="Jeff_J, post: 235164, member: 18526"] Hailing from the great state of Iowa. New to photography. Sure I have taken plenty of point and shoot photos. And the majority were not that great. So I have chosen to go down the path of DSLR. It certainly is more sophisticated than a point and shoot. But is something that I need to conquer my photo goals. My goal with this new camera is to: 1. Take my boys' Senior pictures (kind of a money saver and a little pride) 2. Take better photos of my boys' activities (concerts, baseball, football, and basketball). All hoping to do this with the equipment that I have (D5200, 18mm-55mm, and 55mm-300mm). I get distracted sometimes and find myself wanting to buy more gear. Hoping to get more knowledge under my belt with this site. I haven't looked here much. But I see myself asking a lot of beginner questions.
