Macro photography with a Nikon dx body?
Ok so macro photography is something very new to me, but has always seemed very fascinating and fun.
To start off I have a Nikon D5000 so I can't even really consider any AF-D lenses if I want to still have auto-focus. I've been looking into things such as the 85mm f/3.5 DX and the 60mm f/2.8 FX. To be completely honest, I don't know if either of these would do the trick for macro photography or even how good/bad of an idea it would be to use a full frame lense on a dx camera.
Any kind of advice on what I should be looking for with this sort of thing would be awesome as well as knowing possible third party lenses that would do the trick for this like Sigma or Tokina.
If possible, I'd like to stay in the price range of $600 or less.
Improving my photography (pics)?
I love taking photos of my daughter and I'd like to improve.
I'm using a Nikon D3100 and the basic kit lens.
I've taught myself how to shoot in manual (thank you youtube). Now I've just started using photoshop. Just for basic brightening and some sharpening.
What would be the next step to improve would you say?
I was thinking maybe I should start with getting another lens. Any recommendations?
Here are some photo's I've taken. Please offer some constructive criticism but don't be to harsh as I'm just a beginner to the DSLR world.

How to click a picture by nikon d60 in auto mode, keeping multiple subjects in focus?
Suppose you are taking a photo of 5 people standing side by side. The camera automatically focusses at a point. If the photo gets clicked in this mode, the face in focus remains sharp and the other things gets a bit blurred. I have tried it in totally zoomed out mode, but the result is same. How can I solve the problem keeping the cam in auto mode?
Shutter speed changes automatically for different shots?
I'm currently shooting a short with a Nikon D3100. I shoot wide open with a shutter of 1/50 and have the camera set to manual mode for obvious reasons. I'm now looking back at the previous scenes I've shot and I noticed that some shots have motion blur (which is expected from 1/50 shutter) and other shots in the same exact scene have absolutely no motion blur at all. I'm looking at a person move their hand and there's motion blur followed by another shot where someone is moving their hand with no motion blur AT ALL. It looks like I shot it with completely different settings which makes no sense at all because I ALWAYS have it on manual with 1/50 and f1.8. Is this a common problem? Is there a factor I'm not taking into account? Is the lighting screwing with me? Is the camera mentally slow? I'm so confused right now and I was hoping someone might have a clue.
Added (1). It looks like as if I'm shooting 1/250 shutter when it clearly says 1/50.

How to get my DSLR camera to focus?
My step dad gave me his old dslr camera as he just got a new one. It's a Nikon D3200. It takes great pictures of flowers, but if I'm trying to get it to focus on a face it focuses on something else. I'm new to these cameras so is there a particular setting I should put it on, or what should I do?
Looking to upgrade my Nikon D5100?
I have been taking photos for 3 years. I recently did my first 3 weddings. I quickly found that I'm ready to upgrade my Nikon D5100. I'm looking for a camera with better low light performance, more options for white balance, full-frame, and overall better quality. Any recommendations? I would prefer to stay with Nikon I believe.
Nikon D90 with 18-55 mm lens focusing issues?
Nikon D90 with 18-55 mm lens focusing issues? - 1
Added (1). I have a Nikon D90 that I have been using for portrait photography. I have an 18-55mm lens thats probably 10 years old that I use. I now realize that this is a pretty old lens, but it still works pretty well. The biggest problem that I'm having with it is that when I use it to take photos, it tends to focus on what is behind the subject rather then their face. Do you think this a back focus issue? Or am I just not using the focus correctly? Is there anything I can do to change this?
What is wrong with my DSLR Camera?
I own a Nikon d3200 DSLR Camera and when ever i shoot a picture a black mark appears in the top left corner of the file. It is not the Lens because when i swapped it it continued to happen.
I borrowed the camera from my college, and went to take the battery out to charge it today and it won't come out? I wasn't the one who put it in, and so I don't know how it was put in. Does anyone know how to get it out safely?
