How to pronounce Nikon's D5100?
Today I purchased a Nikon D5100.
I know that it's an upgrade on the D5000 which I pronounced D Five thousand. - but for the D5100 I pronounce it as D Fifty One Hundred, but my mate seems calls his D5100 a D Five Thousand One hundred…
Who is correct?
First time doing portrait photography?
I'm gonna start off with a little background information. I've been into photography for a few years now. I use a Nikon D40, with the 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens. I'm mostly into landscapes/wildlife/nature photography, but I have done a few portraits of people/kids.
I've had several people ask about me doing some portraits ( some of children, another would be a couple's portrait) I'm a photography major, so it would be some great experience for me(plus help kick off my career) and the extra money would be awesome. BUT I'm completely new at this sort of photography so…
How should I charge per session? Since I'm a new photographer I don't want to put an outrageous price on sessions.
Also, should I charge per picture? And is it best if I print my own pictures, or have them printed at a store?
I don't have a lot of equipment, aside from the camera and lenses I have a remote, a polarized filter and two other filters.
I'm on a tight budget, so going out and buying a studio and a bunch of extra equipment is totally out of the question as of right now.
Any tips and/or links to helpful advice will be greatly appreciated!
Camera won't auto focus anymore?
I have a nikon d40. I've had the same lense 18-55 on it since my friend gave it to me in September. I shoot at raves mainly and recently this passed weekend my camera won't auto focus anymore. What's happening? And yes the lense it switch to the a not the m.
Added (1). As in an external flash? Yes. I don't use the built in flash anymore.
I have a Nikon D5000, but my video won't fill the frame?
When I upload a video to YouTube, the actual video footage is surrounded/framed by a black box. I was thinking, maybe, it was my camera- but I just got done watching a video taken with Nikon D5000 (a test shooting) and it filled the whole frame,
for example:
This is what I DON'T want.
I was wondering if it had something to do with the editing program I use? Windows Movie Maker? Please let me know, is it a special lens I need? Special editing program? Special setting on my camera?
Dropped nikon d3000 and now lcd screen is blank?
I dropped my nikon d3000 yesterday from a height of just one foot. Now the camera will take pictures just the screen is completely black. I can't view pictures or look at camera options or anything at all. Any idea on how to fix this problem?
Will a memory card designated for point and shoot cameras work in my nikon d5100? I have to finish a shoot by tomorrow but i left my memory card at school.
What Kind of Sync Cord Would I Need For My Camera & Flash?
I want to start working with off-camera lighting photography soon, but can't seen to be able to trigger my flash from long distances like I want. I tried some wireless methods, but have found them not as reliable as I'd like. I have looked into sync cords before but I'm not sure what type I would need, so I never actually purchased any.
The camera is a Nikon D3000
The flash is a Nikon SB-25
My brothers birthday is soon he is turning26 and just got a new car. He wants to take a photography class and hes trying to save for a new camera.Me and my sister have $700 and want to get him THIS camera. Can you take videos? How much is it? Where can we buy one?
After 100000 shots, will the camera be dead(not working) forever? Or you can replace some parts. Please let me know.
This morning I changed the lens for the first time and when looking through the viewfinder, I could see everything fine and the autofocus and everything worked, but when I took a picture, it was black. I presumed it was the lens, so I swapped back to my old lens, but the same thing happened. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
