Indirect Flash


Sept SV Blogger Meetup: Jon
Originally uploaded by earthdog.
I bought a Nikon SB600 Speedlight. It is a detachable flash for the top of my camera. I love it so far. It works great with my Nikon D-50. The flash syncs with the camera. I am lazy and like to shoot in auto. It is making those pictures a lot better. It is also good because I can adjust how much light is being flashed, even in auto. It is a great photo toy. Anyone who likes to photograph people with a digital SLR should get one.

The Year of the D50


March 23: Self w/Camera
Originally uploaded by earthdog.
As of March 22nd, I have had my Nikon D50 for one year. Flickr has was the main driver for me to get the D50. In that year I have been obsessed with flickr and taking photos to put on flickr. Many times If I know I will not be able to put the photos on flickr, I will not bother taking them.

A year later, I still really like my camera. It is not perfect, but it has served me well. It might be the most useful piece of consumer electronics I have ever purchased. I know that I had a camera before my D50, but it did not inspire me the way my D50 has. It did not make me think about photography or take chances with photography the way my D50 has.

There is still a lot I have to learn about photography. I know that I do my best learning when I go out and take pictures. My Nikon D50 makes me want to go out and take pictures. That is a good thing.

Is there anything I should try taking a picture of in the next year?

New Body v More Glass

I am wondering how I should spend my photographic Budget. What should I buy first, a better DSLR body or more lens? I am not sure which would make my photography better. Right now I only have 2 lens. I have a 28-80mm and I have a 50mm 1.4. I know that I could use a wider lens and a longer zoom lens.

The Nikon D80 has come out recently. I was playing with it in the store the other day. It is a really nice camera. It is easy to see how it is better than my D50. I am not sure how much using a D80 would effect my photography.

It is a question of what should I save the money for first. I could scrap the money up for a new lens rather quickly. I would have to save for a while to get a new D80 body. I am not sure where the money would be better spent.
