hi guys & gals
Probably I do some intro why I am into DSLR camera before I start asking for advice.
Initially, I wanted a camera that give me the effect of blur background, I start off with digita coolpix P500 and it bring me into the world of DSLR function. This ignite my interest into photography but I am still blur of how this shutter speed and Aperture thingy...in Jun, my colleague gave me a birthday present of Nikon D3100 with the basic len 18-55MM.
I had been play with it for a while and last month I bought a 55-200mm len thinking it should be better as to get that blurry background and I can zoom further esp when my kids is in the swimming pool which i dont want to bring the camera near the water. But I notice that 55-200mm are meant for shoot far object and I can shoot anything near.
Thus, my advice and question are...
1. I am think of changing the 55-200mm lens to 18-105mm or 18-135mm lens, is it advisable? cos I do not want to carry 2 lens everytime i am out
2. Than where can i sell away the 55-200mm lens or anywhere I can trade in ?
3. I notice shooting day shoot should be quite ok (for my standard now) but night shoot I am still trying to figure out esp when I use manual function, can advice how I can use the shutter speed and aperture control to get me the picture I want, I alway tell myself I wanted to shoot a photo that what you see is what you get...
please help and advice?
