I have had my D90 for about 3 years and as time goes on I keep discovering all kinds of things that can be done with this camera. The lenses I have are Nikon DX: 85mm Micro, 18-105mm and 55-300mm. I also have a Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8. Of all of these I use the 18-105 the most.
While I have always enjoyed photography it was most useful to when I was involved with model railroading. Over the years the model railroad faded and I became more involved with the camera, but only as a part time hobby.
I picked up a Canon G3 when they first came out and that was my introduction into the digital world. After a few years I realized the G3 was not going to do what I wanted I started looking at DSLR and ended up with the D90 and I have no regrets.
Everything was going along just fine in my mind and then..... Then I found you people, you Nikonites (said with great affection):smile-new: and I realized just how much more I want/need to learn. This is by far the most informative place I have been to regarding the Nikon camera and I have been reading at a feverish pace and at time get a little over whelmed by all the information. I can' thank the forum members enough for sharing their knowledge.
A bit long winded here so I'll post a few photos and please feel free to let me know what I'm doing right, wrong and how to improve.
UP train: Nikon DX Lens 18 - 105, f/6.3, Exp. 1/640, ISO 1000, Exp bias 0, Focal 105mm, Meter - Spot
I forgot to change my ISO setting back to 200 and was shooting at 1000. I'm getting better, but this is one of my biggest faults, not checking to make sure I'm at the lowest ISO setting for the lighting.
BNSF Train: Nikon DX lens 18-105, f/9, Exp. 1/500, ISO 200, focal 80mm.
Sun Rise: Nikon DX 18-105, f/4, Exp 1/800, ISO 500, Bias -2 steps, Focal 26mm.
