I just discovered this, you are awesome.

 

I wish I had a camera like yours, even if it's canon ;)

 

How do you manage to have life-time guarantee on your lens?

 

And what's the focal length of your lens?

Thank you so much, it's great to see someone with the same hobby here around the forums :)

I actually sold my canon a while ago for a D300. I think I've told you those things, but I'm not sure.

 

It worked better for me because litterally all the shops here offer Nikon items, and special service for those things.

I needed to travel a lot to see specialists to look at my 5D which had some malfunctions, the same shop who provided lifetime warranty on the lens.

It was a one-time deal I guess; didn't happen to me ever since.

 

I bought the Nikon D300 as second handed, aswell as the 2 lenses.

Canon is a bit more expensive than Nikon, but I hardly see any loss of quality.

If you've noticed the reviews comparing Nikon and Canon to eachother, you'll see that canon doesn't improve their censors as much as Nikon do.

 

12.3 MP is definitely enough, ohh and I cannot film things... there wasn't such an option back in 2009.  :lol:

Well, you did say:

 

 

Alrighty; another Nikon user.  ;)

 

So I assumed you use Nikon, but then I read this post. Didn't notice how old it is.

 

My favorite lens is 50mm prime f1.8 - it's one of the best around and one of the cheapest as well. But for the moment I'm not in a position to get it so I use my kit lens :(

Don't be ashamed to use kitlenses; they can get you great pictures just as easy as the expensive ones.

I use it very regulary.  :lol:

 

ünd I've seen your photo's, very nice ones.

Do you use Photoshop or something aswell?

Both Lightroom and Photoshop. I believe [modest] editing is a vital part of good photography.

Woaah, those are really beautiful pictures :3

How very interesting to see someone that clearly loves photography as much as I do.

 

1 image that caught my eye way that old bicycle with the sepia filter :) but I must say all your images are very good indeed

you certainly are very passionate about your hobby

yes there are areas where you can improve on but that will come in time & your see those better than anyone & if your anything like me ;) your want perfection.

 

Whilst it`s great people give you advice to help you it`s always best to find your own way & create/capture images the way you want & let what you produce become yours as sometimes if you follow advice to a point that the idea/image becomes theirs & not your own but I guess you have already though about that.

 

Lucky for me photography is not just my passion but it`s my career & the areas that excite me are Street photography, still life, fine art  

I create contemporary/conceptual works & 2 photographers come to mind that inspire me

David Bailey & Natalie Dybisz & also if you don`t already have 1 buy a good portfolio book & print up your images so you can show plenty of people or as I do a tablet (lot easier to carry around).

 

Do carry on your work as you have a lot of talent & I don`t mind saying so when I see images that smile from within as well as on my face

btw I shoot  with a Nikon D3100 & use an 18-55mm/Tamron 70-300mm & also a D800, D90 *thought I added that* (Typo) ;)

& do you buy the Nikon magazine N-Photo? I do each month & it`s very informative.

 

I would post my site here for you to take a look at but as it`s your topic I would not wish to intrude on it

but if you care to check it out I will post it so you & others can visit my site &perhaps leave a message in my guestbook.

 

Best wishes :)

Yes! Another photography enthusiast!

 

I'd love to see your site!

 

I also didn't realize that Tamron lenses are compatible with Nikon. Since Canon and Sigma lenses can't go on Nikon, I figured neither can Tamron.

 

Anyway if you shoot professionally, why haven't you upgraded to the D7000/D6? I shoot with the D3100 and am pretty limited by it's entry-level functions, and I don't even shoot professionally yet.

I did not know at first about the Sigma but you can fit the lenses to a Nikon body

I made sure that tamron did work with my Nikon before I bought it.

 

My thoughts have always been if you buy a for instance a D4 & have no exp in photography & spend £10000`s on equipment of pounds it`s still not going to make you a photographer & be able to produce creative images as the skill is with the photographer him/herself & unless you have that eye like if someone buys a pair of  Lionel Messi football boots it`s not going to turn them into the man on the field &  no amount  of money will make you a photographer you either have it or you don`t

example give David Bailey a cheap compact & he will still shoot better images than if someone spent lots of £££.

 

I actually find my D3100 does everything I want & does not limit me :) but at some point I will & have a very good reason to do so + I put any £ I make into materials & exhibitions/art fairs but I`m sure I will UG but for now my trusty Nikon does the job very well if I do say so myself :) .

 

Btw I`m not 100% pro (wish I was) I`m bordering semi pro & am very determined to make it in the photography/art world & the great thing about it is that you can never say you know everything as  every day I`m learning & I would suspect long term pros are as well :) & the thing is to simple love what you do pro or not.

Could not agree more with those statements; thanks for your kind words!

You certainly seem to get the most out of your equipment ;)

 

About your site; feel free to post it here, I would love to take a look at your street art  :)

:) I do get the most for now & I know at some point I will need to buy another camera

It`s not only street photography but contemporary/conceptual still life creative images

my philosophy is "Some people will love what I do some will buy some will not love it some will not buy"  

the important thing to remember is ignore all the nah sayers & focus on what you love doing & those who give you positive words

 

Sure constructive advice is great but there are those out there who simple pour scorn because that`s what they enjoy most

if you love what you do & call it art then it`s art & that`s the best advice I can give.
