Perhaps you should include some lighted OOF background in the picture, can add contrast to your photo. Honestly your photo looks too "bulleye" already. Whole photo overly filled with your subject. Too tight cropping sometimes will make your photo looks flat/no depth.

Nope, this is worse. Her elbow and sleeve is cropped away. Like I said, don't crop it too tight.
Always include some space around your focused subject.



For the dropping demb, slit 1 or 2 pieces of tiny cut manila paper or card paper in between the hinge, it will become tighter already lo.

Already thought you would prefer half body shot, as observed from your photos in flickr and previous posted shots, so I included another picture in my previous reply.

Thanks for visiting my flickr.

It's up to your justification for the camera body, because both D3100 and D90 is equally awesome in producing nice photos.
D3100 is cheaper, but with new sensor and EXPEED2 processing engine, ISO performance is superb and you get fullHD recording.

D90 losing in terms of video recording, but you get more accessible buttons to change settings on the outside, which I personally can't live without it seriously.
Built in motor gives you ability to autofocus with older lens without built in motor, but heck, how many people here still thinking of getting old lens?!

As for lens, 35mm is more useful then 50mm on crop sensors for daily usage for most people, but I always complain I don't get enough zoom! That's why I use 50mm myself most of the time. 35mm f2 is in drybox most of the time. It's up to your own preferences, go try both them yourself and see which focal length you are more comfy to work with.

Oh yeah the mightly top lcd
But I seldom use that. I always using the info panel inside the viewfinder for my settings, so I won't miss too much chances of capturing the moments

Correction made to prevent misunderstanding.

D3100 does not come with built in motor, therefor you can't autofocus with older lens like AF-D 35mm f/2D or 50mm f/1.8D, which don't have built in motor in the lens. You only only auto focus with new AF-S lens like AF-S 35mm f/1.4G or 50mm f/1.4G.

If you have the budget, D7000 is definitely better to go with.

Use concentrating high pressure water spray to push it out

^It helps.

Some shots from photography class, taken in studio the other day.

Messy bokeh, I think it will be nicer if you go nearer and composition offset it a bit
