Nikon DSLRs Digitutor.

If you are a novice user and owner of a Nikon DSLR camera (or you just want a refresher course), check out Nikondigitutor.com for a brief yet very helpful beginner’s tutorial depending which Nikon model you may have. Thanks to the Nikon Philippines Fan Page at Facebook, of which I am a member, it prompted me to this tutorial site.


The tutorial consists of guidelines and tips 1.) before shooting and getting started – which tackles topics about the camera (lenses, battery, memory card, strap, viewfinder focus, and the shooting information display) 2.) taking pictures – which discusses about the different modes: auto, portraits, landscape, flash, landscape and closeups; and 3.) after shooting – quick retouch, making movies, RAW processing and other retouch options.

We’ve been using our Nikon D60 for a couple of years now and we’ve learned so much about this tutorial like the use of auto (flash off) mode, tips on how to capture better in portrait and landscape modes. This tutorial has made me more interested with photography now and I’m loving our D60 more than ever.

Proofs.

Lately, I abhor having my pictures taken up close because the evidences of my working until late night habit are clearly visible: zits on the forehead, deep set and dark under eye circles seemingly begging for an eye cream in desperation. Include in the list a pale and anemic looking face so just imagine how have I been working hard lately. I’m not complaining really..in fact, I’m thankful even because it only means that I’ll have an additional funding for the husband’s ultimate Christmas gift wish: a new lens for our ND60.

The other side of the world can surely feel my take’s theme this week. This is my niece’s floater and was shot when we had our beach getaway at Laiya, San Juan, Batangas last May. March to May are our summer months here in my part of the woods. Here’s another shot of the pink floater enjoying the beach and having fun with her “suitor”.
