Greetings to seniors.
Hi to all Professionals, masters, experts, moderators, seniors, traders, hobbyist, models, mua and to all. I hope i will have a great chance to get to learn n explore n be more creative from all of you here. I have just got a dslr with few lenses from a friend who had given up this hobby for free. I had been currently going through some great tips from this forum. I hope i am welcome to join some conversations n discussions as well as asking questions. Hopefully i am able to blend in with all of ya.
Thanks in advance. Emiah. |

Re: Greetings to seniors.
I dont know why he gave up the hobby. He just came to me one day and said. 'do you want to take photography i want to give away my camera stuffs. ' i dont know how much all those cost but i think it should be costly. I actually gave him 700$ to him. I just dont feel right to just take it for free. i realised photography is fun actually. getting hang of it.. Got 3 lenses and one body with a huge external flash n few accesories.
Thanks for welcoming me to the club and great encouragement.. |

Re: Greetings to seniors.
Nikkor is Nikon's brand name for lenses. That's the original one! Teleconverter .. well "tele" stands for something that is far away / remote. It's a converter increasing the focal length of your zoom lens. The colour plastics for the SB900 are colour gels, necessary to give the flash light a different tone. Something to do with White Balance. Tripod is Manfrotto - well-liked brand here among the people. The air pump is a blower, necessary to blow off dust. You really have a good set of equipment here for a laughable cheap price. Go and read carefully, don't use what you don't know. You have a great chance to enter the realms of light and shadow, learn well and do justice to the gear. |

Re: Greetings to seniors.

And thanks for all the explanation to the items.. Never knew those equipment are so expensive. I googled it.. U guys are serious hobbyist.. One laughing story last night was.. I tried to snap anything... On and off and on and off i tried but cant snap anything at all.. Can power on n off... I tried changing lens also... Still nothing... Got funny error on the lcd panel. I read manual and check website... Finally... Omggggggg... Guess what?? |
