It's finally here! And I'm so excited...
I purchased/Jay got me a gift a Nikon D90 that came with the 18-105mm kit lens (which is a pretty decent lens if I might add). I also went ahead an purchased a 70-300mm lens, UV filters for both, a Nikon SB-600 AF speedlight flash, and a ML-L3 IR remote.
I have been watching youtube tutorials for about a week now, and I made sure I read the manual front to back before I even turned the camera on. I am happy to announce that it is ummm... TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME! LOL. Here is one of the first photos taken....
My wonderful & patient model Mr. William
The amount of post processing that needed to be done compared to the camera I have been using are worlds apart. Just a little "boost" and we are good to go. Now don't get me wrong, the Olympus has been a great starter camera and was simple to learn on, but wow.
I shoot fully manual and in Raw, so I am giving myself two weeks to learn the ins and outs of this new wonderful toy, and then I am going to start booking practice sessions!!! Now I have a good while before I can start charging, but let me tell ya, the only way to get to that point is with practice, practice, practice. So for about 6 months to a year it will be completely FREE portraits for local families (willing to travel for the right person *wink, wink*). These shoots will be no where near what a professional shoot would be like. There will be delays, questions, etc. The only charge anyone will see for the time being, is the cost of prints + tax.
I'm so excited and can not wait to share more!!!
