"I agree. I think its helpful to have to slow down and think about your shots from time to time. I also find that autofocus does not always do what you want it to do anyhow. On the D5000 (or D5100 nowadays),Being able to use live-view…"

Lynsey Turner replied to Jeff Hatcher's discussion Nikon D5000- Likes and Dislikes in the group Nikon D5000"I do not use the scene modes. Recently purchased the 50mm 1.8 lens and it is really making me slow down my shots a lot BUT I can't complain. Totally in love with it and it doesn't bother me that there is no motor whats so ever... makes me…"
Jeff Hatcher replied to Angga's discussion Can we use Nikkor 18-55mm or 55-200mm for macro? in the group Macro photos"I've used the 55-200 as a macro with good results, but you need to purchase either (1) A close-focus filter (diopter) to put on the front of the lens. There is some associated degradation of image quality. or (2) Purchase an…"
Veronica Verna Miranda replied to Jeff Hatcher's discussion Nikon D5000- Likes and Dislikes in the group Nikon D5000"For a beginner like me, this model is a surefire for me. I have been photoshooting with my colleague and he/she happens to have another brand a high end camera but the result, I can say I get more competitive captures than them joke! ;-)…"
Jeff Hatcher replied to Barbara Covil West's discussion I have just purchased the D5000 and seen this group in the group Nikon D5000"check your ISO settings. If the camera is picking your ISO, you may be getting up to around 800-1200 iso. The D5000 handles higher ISO's pretty well, but you will get a little bit of grain. I manually control the ISO settings so I don't…"

Jeff Hatcher replied to Stevie Mc Teague's discussion D5000 live view?? in the group Nikon Users Group"Live-view Focus is only good for high-contrast situations. Not as fast to adapt for "action" photos. Main use of live view is for manual focus or setting up shots at uncomfortable angles, where use of the viewfinder is not convenient.

Jeff Hatcher left a comment for Randall Sherman"Sorry I took so long to respond. Been swamped with things at school, haven't paid much attention to my picture social account. Finally have time to plan a couple shooting days..."
Jeff Hatcher replied to Marion Wilson's discussion Third Party Lens vs Nikon Lens in the group Nikon D5000"The tamron 28 to 75 is a nice lens, with a fixed aperture of f/2.8. The nikon has a wider zoom, but has a variable aperture from 3.5 to 5.6. I have had good luck with the tamron, and can recommend it to you without reservation. (my main lenses are…"
Jeff Hatcher replied to Jeff Hatcher's discussion Nikon D5000- Likes and Dislikes in the group Nikon D5000"I don't use the video feature too often, but it is nice to have when I need it. I've used it with some close-focus lenses to document some procedures at work and it does a fantastic job. As this involves some fine-detail type work, the…"
minox59 replied to Jeff Hatcher's discussion Nikon D5000- Likes and Dislikes in the group Nikon D5000"I think its a fine little camera. I even use the video mode, which I thought I would never use"
Jeff Hatcher commented on Ryan's group Nikon D5000"The tamron 28-75 f/2.8 is also a pretty nice starter lens (~$400). Pairs up well with the tamrom f/2.8 70-200mm Lens. The Nikon kit lenses (18-55 VR and 55-200VR)also give pretty good bang for the buck."
Jeff Hatcher commented on Maeda's group Nikon Users Group"This is the latest "spam of the day"

- About Me and My Photography Experience:
- Started with a point and shoot (kodak easy share z740) about 3 years ago. Started getting the hang of composition, exposure, aperture, etc. Just upgraded to the Nikon D5000 and am really appreciating how much more you can do with a DSLR. I mainly enjoy nature/landscape photography and closeup photography.

End of summer.... thought I'd write something...

I'm really not that much for blogging, but as long as I'm here....
First couple of months with the cameral have been a blast. Been experimenting with lighting, lenses, focal distances, filters, software, everything I can think of trying to get a handle on this stuff. Increased my admiration for those of you who routinely get those nice pictures with the perfect exposure, composition, etc.
I'm going to try to find local photo events here in Orlando, meet some other… Continue
