Bro got a new camera

m4a1mustang · 06-02-2012, 11:45 AM

I've started shooting in RAW + L Jpeg for everything so if I feel the need/urge to do some read editing in post I can use the RAW format. Otherwise if the JPEG image turned out the way I like it I may well just use that. Digital "film" is free so why not use both.

i guess i should ask what tripod is good now and good lenses?

He needs to first determine his needs relative to the distances that he will be shooting at (zoom range), then determine how much he wants to spend. I have always preferred Nikkor lenses, but there are several other brands, usually cheaper, that may be suitable for him. A good website to review such things is DP Review. It might also be fruitful to read through the various Nikon camera and lens forums on that site.

Talk about thread high jacking. You photo dorks can take it to the bedroom already. The OP is not a professional, and he did not even take the shots. Geez get over your selves already.

I always recommend people shoot RAW. I've gone back to an image a year or two later and tried something new on the post. Doing that in Lightroom on a NEF file is 10000x better than a JPG.
