this is my What are good camera lenses for the Nikon D60?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D60 Thursday Aug 26, 2010I am, kinds a beginner at taking pictures. I have a Nikon D60, with one lens(the one that it comes with) so i was wondering which lenses are good and which are bad
Hi Sam!
I recommend these two good camera lenses for the Nikon D60
Nikon 55-200mm AF-S f/4-5.6G DX VR
This is telephoto lens that complement well with your kit
lens 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR. You can use this for shooting
far away subjects such as birds, architectural details or sports.
It is great for portraits too. It is equipped with VR (Vibration Reduction)
which is effective to prevent blur due to the camera shake.

Nikon 18-200mm AF-S f/3.5-5.6 DX VR II
This multipurpose lens is great foNr any circumstances, you
can shoot wide or shoot telephoto for far away subjects.
The problem is the weight and price.
But if you only one to carry one lens, then this is the one.

On the Nikon D60 how do I get it so I can see what I am taking a picture of on the screen?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D60 Monday Aug 16, 2010I just purchased a Nikon D60 and I cannot figure out how to make it so I can see what I am taking a picture of through the screen versus looking through the view finder.
You can’t. You can only review photos on the screen and set menu settings.
Taking a picture however, requires the viewfinder.
Canon is the only SLR brand that has a live view mode on their cameras

some pictures using a was it a mistake to buy a nikon d60 dslr as a starting photographer?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D60 Thursday Aug 5, 2010i searched nikon d60 in the search answers and browsed through many questions and answers, but many people suggest its a bad camera due to the lack of motor and such.
what do you think?
keep it? sell it? embrace it?
a photographer is determine by his pictures, not equipment?
"Pictureas are not taken, they are made." Ansel Adams.
"It isn’t the camera, its the photographer."
Keep the D60 and begin learning about light, composition, exposure and depth of field. Then practice using that knowledge to make the pictures you want to make. These sites will get you started:

http://www.illustratedphotography.com/photography-tips/basic
http://www.cambridgeincolor.com
http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
http://www.calculator.org/exposure.aspx
You’ll also need to spend time to really READ & STUDY the Owner’s Manual for your camera. Its full of information about all the features and benefits of your camera and you need to know them. After all, if you don’t know them how can you use them?
Good photography requires thinking and thinking requires time. To make a good picture you must think about the composition, the light, the exposure and the depth of field. If you just go out and point & shoot, point & shoot, point & shoot then all you’re doing is taking snapshots. Its what I call the "machine gunner mentality" – take 300 exposures and hope – hope – a few turn out. I encourage adopting what I call the "sniper mentality" – make one exposure, make one good picture.
When a scene catches your attention, don’t just stand there and compose and shoot. Look at the scene standing, kneeling, sitting, maybe even flat on your belly. Move to the right. Move to the left. Back up. Get closer. Try a landscape (horizontal) composition. Try a portrait (vertical) composition. Decide if everything should be in focus (maximum depth of field) or just your main subject (minimum depth of field). Although that flower might look nice in direct sunlight why not get around behind it and shoot it backlit with the light coming through the petals?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/4032748624/ This is just as I saw it.
While you’re deciding on the best point of view and composition you also need to actually look at what other elements will be in the picture. Litter? Power lines? A dead tree branch? A blah, washed-out sky? Then you have to change your composition to eliminate or at least minimize those distractions. Sure, you can probably clone them out with an editing program but that takes time – time you could be using your camera. The idea is to "Get it right in the camera" because that minimizes your editing time.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/3991210245/ Before making this picture I picked up 3 cigarette butts, a discarded tissue and a plastic bottle. That’s why I carry hand sanitizer and a small garbage bag.
So study and practice, study and practice. To my knowledge there aren’t any competitions or prizes for the person who makes the most exposures in a day so there’s no reason to not take your time and think about what you want to do and how you can do it.
Accessories I consider necessary as you get started:
1) A UV filter to protect the front element of your lens.
2) A circular polarizer filter. Its used to darken a blue sky and to remove/reduce glare/reflections from glass, snow, water, sand and painted metal – but not polished metal.
3) A lens cloth to keep your filters clean.
4) A tripod. For landscape photography a tripod is mandatory. The more you use a tripod the better your pictures will be.
Always buy quality filters. Choose from Heliopan, Tiffen, B+W, Hoya, Singh-Ray. Check out the Benro "Travel Angel" series of tripods. Manfrotto, Velbon, Slik, Gittos are also excellent brands.
Photography tips:
1) Always shoot at your camera’s highest resolution.
2) Always use the lowest possible ISO.
3) Use your tripod whenever possible.
4) When using your tripod, use the camera’s self-timer to release the shutter. Turn VR "OFF" when using your tripod.
5) The horizon should be horizontal.
