I just bought new d90 3days ago in lowyat n still a newbie, my shutter count already 1097. is it very high??? T_T

newly-bought D90?

Oo what did you shoot with it?

anyway welcome aboard

yes, newly-bought.

im very excited and try to learn how to take a good picture with the kit lens, but always got bad picture and delete it.

then i read about the shutter count and the 100k shutter or sumthin (eventhough don't really understand).

just afraid if i reach the 100k faster and need to change the shutter at nikon SC. T_T

from my thinking lar...

before you snap a pics....you have to know what you want to snap, what you'r snap-ing, the surrounding, the subject/object you'r snapping

try to look and read mroe tutorial and guide..i'm sure there some here if i'm not mistaken.....or maybe you could try get some photography magazine like DCM

Know what you want to take...Imagine it in your mind or Snap it in your mind then see the obj/subj again and then snap lor...this might take long process but when time goess on u will eventualy don even need to as you already know what you want to take

Anyway practice mroe shoot mroe see more read mroe...practice make perfects...upload some of your pics here so other may comment about it and you can learn from their comments....some maybe harsh abit..but we'r all learning mah..sharing is caring

so take it slowly..

Anyway this is my noob-cents...see wat others pro will say

i actually just bought 2 mag and started to read them, btw really great advices, tyvm. ill try to upload some pictures in future.

you must've shot lotsa stuff. I took out the D90 fresh from its box few weeks ago the morning I went to Perhentian Island and when I came back on the third day, shutter count was about 700 only. until now should've passed 1k, din really keep track though.

reach 100k shutter count then must go service mia ka?

Depends on luck, my friend's old 30D last about 250k shutter. But then got effects also... can't shoot at 1/8000, cause it will be the same as about 1/2000 instead LOL. Basically the shutter will wear out and can't shoo that fast anymore.

Saw the ads on Star newspaper on last Sat. Details also available at Nikon's website. [URL=Click Here]http://www.nikon.com.my/promotions.php[/URL]

New RRP?

How much was the RRP before this?

first shot on my first dslr...how is it?

sini ada banyak~~~ http://www.mylensdb.com/nikon-af-s-vr-zoom...4-5-5-6g-if-ed/

Nice shot...here i help u touch up abit.

Not true.
Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Micro lens has VR.
It is a prime lens.

Whether or not the lens has VR has nothing to do with the wide aperture.

Normally the shorter the focal length, the less likely you will need a VR.

Added on July 12, 2010, 2:49 pmNever shoot micro using this lens with f/2.8, unless you are shooting portraiture with this lens.
Shooting so close to a small subject, the depth of field is so narrow that a breath you take while holding the camera, it will be out of focus.
When shooting Micro, make sure use aperture f/8.0 and above, plus f/8 is the "sweet-spot" of this lens where the focusing is the sharpest.

If using f/2.8 is still not bring enough, then invest in a SB900/600, else boost up your ISO to 400 or 640.

Added on July 12, 2010, 2:56 pmShoot the pictures (mostly landscape) with your D90 with bracketing, strongly recommending fix your D90 on a stable tripod.

Bring home your pictures, download GIMP application. It's free.
This Image Manipulation software can help you to overlap the pictures taken using bracketing. It has the similar feel and look as the expensive Photoshop, assuming you would buy original. ;-)

Added on July 12, 2010, 3:21 pmI guess you used Auto WB for all those model shots.
This was an indoor and full of flourescent light sources.

Your pic gonna look a bit bluish....the model's skin tone does not look natural.

Here's what you can do with your D90:
- Use SB900 to illuminate the models.
- Use Custom WB = 5500K, this will restore back the skin tone, if not, then will make it fairer, rather than bluish (like a Na'vi).

Added on July 12, 2010, 4:00 pmBuy only good UV filter like HOYA.

For me, I only put UV filter on when there is a risk of kids playing around, touching your camera stuff.
Other times, I just remove it, to get better optical quality.
Don't shoot into the light source or sun. Apply lens hood.

Added on July 12, 2010, 4:38 pmMost shop owners won't let you snap a few shots with the brand-new camera body taken from the shelf.
Because the value of the camera drops if the shutter count is not zero anymore.

They can let you hold it and feel it, without the batteries.
