[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 295691, member: 24285"] Hello Nikonites; I've been a Nikon user for a couple of decades now. First serious camera was a Nikon F60, now shooting with a D5100. I'm an enthusiast, every now and then I muse about shooting pictures for money on the side, but not a serious business (I'm nearing retirement so just something to supplement my pension income). But then I come to my senses and remember an old learning from years ago "Nothing ruins a great hobby like making it your job". Enjoy "playing" with pictures in Paintshop Pro (Adobe is just too pricey for my taste, and I live in rural Canada with slow internet so on-line based services are really not optimal). And Corel is Canadian and I am patriotic. Recently started playing with HDR - nothing worth sharing yet. But it's fun to play with new ideas and approaches. I'm into my PC too and have a three screen array - I've created a batch of nice panoramic images that I like to view on my 54"x10" display. Recently added a second flash (Metz 58 AF-2 - which I found I could not include in my profile??) And a light stand and umbrella, looking forward to an Easter Bunny Shoot tomorrow with my grand-daughter. (Grandma has volunteered to wear the bunny costume). And I'm although my D5100 is only a few years old now, I'm already thinking of upgrading, not sure if I'll go to a D610 or D800, ... or save some money that I could spend on a good lense and go for a D7100. Or do I wait and see if Nikon comes up with a fabulous mirrorless DSLR? (Dream on?). [/QUOTE]
