Uluwatu Sunset by kenji.goon, on Flickr

Yay, going to the beach for vacation

Bought an Olympus Tough TG2 and took some photos of it (with my Nikon) 


Although boasted as the the rugged compact camera in the market, after trying it out for some time, its pretty bad haha 

Post-process

Do u mean 24-70? 2470 + 70200 will be better than 18200 if u have the money...

D7100 is a huge leap compare to D90

checked your post, seems like you never have DSLR before, i suggest get a body + kit lens good enough, after that you slowly will find what you need afterwards, 

lol thanks its kit lens...

using d3200 kit lens f/3.5 only...

The D90 is a bit too old tech for the price, not recommended
The D7100, on the other hand, is very new, but still quite similar in terms of performance (for normal photography) to its predecessor the D7000; get that one instead since its much cheaper. Leaving you with more money for other stuffs i.e. lenses, accessories etc.

If you are still new, just stick to the 18-105mm kitlens
With its wide focal length and decent image quality, it will expose you to the fundamentals of photography, as well as different genre of photography e.g. landscape, portrait, nature, "macro" etc. After you have used the 18-105mm kitlens for some time, you will eventually know which genre of photography you like the most, and from there only you invest in better lenses specific for it
Haha, thanks man, just the blings on my old notebook

In general, you will get more/better background bokeh by:
1) Using larger aperture (lower F value)
2) Focusing your main subject as close as you can i.e. minimum distance where the focusing still works 

he don't have budget problem so just push to D7100 only

bb100
here is my old 18-70 kit lens + D70s shot, hope can help in "bokeh" term you said

D90 no more in production. Get the one you can afford. The D7100 is the best Nikon DX / crop body out there at the moment which means most expensive too.

18-70 kit lens is also no more in production if I'm not wrong. For convenience, 18-200 is nice but as with most extreme zooms, the trade off in quality.

70-200mm f/2.8 is a lot of money and heavy too. But if you're serious about speed and pic quality, this is a pro level lens that will not disappoint.

A cheaper option would be the older Nikon AF-D 80-200mm f/2.8 or Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 that has OS (optical stabilisation) option.
Longest lens (focal length), nearest to subject and widest / biggest lens aperture. All in that order to get your wonderful buttery background bokeh.

Usually people start with the cheap 50mm f/1.8 lens for bokeh experiments.
24-70mm f/2.8 will be ok in terms of quality on DX but may not be wide enough.

auto, that 8 years tech already got auto focus.
D90 impossible can get SC 9000 right now lol i think la... i think normally is like 15-30k XD

D3100,3200,5100,5200 only don't have auto-focus motor, D7000 or D7100 got.  you can consider cheaper and older 1 gen D7000 for DSLR also can, it is still decent. 

and you no need worry about that since kit lens already got motor inside.
AS IF you buy older D version lens then you can start worry about that. usually lens you will aiming for are the G version which is already got motor inside.

seems like you gotta read this

ask jchue73iferandy214gunzerdude and maniac, CY pixel (can't tag 6th people, so i put here)

those sifu are best walking dictionary here 

Hi, everyone here, any Sifu here can recommend me what camera I should buy? I wanted to start learn take good photo as hobby, but I'm new to photography. So any model you guys can recommend to buy? I prefer some basic which is no need to change lens, so that I can learn toward more before I move to the next level. Budget would be start from 1.5k and 2.5k range.

i just saw you post in canon thread.

1.5-2.5k can buy DSLR already. (refer back someone just ask about buy nikon D5100 for around 1.8k)

since you said don't want to change lens, so DSLR is not right for you? or actually you want DSLR + 1 lens at the moment?

also what you plan to shoot ? family photo? streets? birds? opposite neighbour's daughter bath?

because sometimes recommended too basic you might find it lack of control and very fast to switch higher end gear also.... 

Never knew 18-70 exist lol

Never knew 18-70 exist lol

18-55 not kit lens meh?

your sig also looks over height limit in this sub-forum 
beware they measure siggy by using 1024x768 resolution
ya i know that after i google that, as for best kit lens wise i not sure becaues you can't also trust ken rockwell solely, need check other user review too 
which i lazy to do haha since i already sold my kit lens that time, the buyer told me this info one so i'm not sure either XD

If u wan to get 18-105 is still ok... Overlap a little bit only... unless ur saying 70-200 + 18-200...

What if I buy both the 18-55 and 18-105 to add to my current 70-300? Does it sound silly?

Just change perspective can already

This photo isn't about what's in focus and what's not, perspective is important even in macro, try to get down to their level instead of photographing them from above.

Equipment not important lah. Just how willing you are to get the shot only.

tanji can get amazing shots with just a 50mm 1.8G + extension tubes, so no excuse to rely on better equipment unless you got specific reasons lah
