I may have made a "booboo" - i'm picking up my D5100 tonight (it's on hold at Best Buy in the City, and we couldn't get there any sooner than tonight due to work, etc since we live over an hour away) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand .. *ahem* I need to use it at 8:00 AM tommorrow, LOL.That being said, it's a "low key shoot" (if I can even call it a "shoot").  I volunteered to help anywhere they need help at a local Endurance (long-distance horse race, basically) and they asked me to bring my camera as they liked my pictures (mind you, this was before I even planned to buy the D5100).  They're not expecting a professional Photographer or professionally taken pictures by any means, but I was also asked to photograph a Barrel Race event in August (where I will be working with a riding lesson client, who IS a professional photographer) so there is potential that this thing will "take off" over time ... but for the mean time - it's just for fun <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />As for the race horses, I won't be the hired track photographer or anything - just for pictures for fun/personal use <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I didn't mind the pictures my Fuji took for the price I paid, but even being a total noob on Saturday, my new D5100 will put out far better pictures, i'm sure.I took some photography courses re: lighting, horses, etc so i'm really looking forward to learning how to use my new DSLR.Some pictures from my Fuji ...<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/148728_2749837484562_1352291339_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/181128_2861227909253_84855086_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/523386_2857512096360_723067479_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/179707_2749890965899_677292350_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
