Hi!
My husband bought me a D3100 for Christmas and I'm having fun learning how to use it. I've been watching photography tutorials on YouTube and reading on www.digital-photography-school.com to teach myself the basics.
I can't wait for warmer weather to get out and play with my camera when things aren't so dreary anymore. My favorite subject is my 19 month old son- he has been a good lesson in shutter speed
I have the kit lens for my camera body plus a 50 mm f/1.8 AF-S G lens that I just got on Saturday that I'm learning on.
I guess my first question is- my friend is having a baby in May and wants me to take some newborn photos for her. What would be a good resource for teaching myself newborn photography when I don't have a newborn to practice on in the meantime? Is the kit zoom lens better for these sessions, or the 50 mm? Obviously I can use both, but what would you do?
