      All great questions @neph93 …I'm similarly interested in learning about the pros and cons of the option you are considering.

      The journey is the objective.

        As a side note the latest iPhones (X and 8/Plus) make incredibly good photos. And like everyone likes to mention these days: the best camera is the one you have with you.

            shoot for the stars. attempting sun stars. it's easy to do it on long exposure at night but hard to perfect on a bright day like this..

                        A while back I got frustrated with the pictures from my phone, and after a bit of research bought myself a DSLR camera (Nikon 3400). I know very little about photography. I’m an engineer so I understand the concepts, but haven’t looked into the meaning/application of f-stop, iso etc. I mostly just use the presets, and do no post-processing on my pictures at the moment.

                        I’m open to criticism/critique/tips. I know there are knowledgeable people here so feel free to chime in. I also hope people will throw up some of their own shots.

                        I have two lenses: a 40mm micro and a 18-200 zoom. I use the micro for close ups and stills, and the zoom for general shooting (mostly of our backyard critters). Some of the shots I feel are worthy of posting:

                            Thanks! Took about 150 nature shots to come up with those few. I’m learning that photography is a numbers game. How people did it well with actual film is beyond me.

                            Also I should note that my post above was starting a new thread in Hobbies. The mods redirected me here.

                              @tvenuto Been doing photography for along time,with my motto being Never stop learning. The most important thing to me and the aspect of photography that I work on most is the composition. Recently attended a NASCAR race where I had a pit pass. In this picture the subject was,originally,centered but I felt by moving him over it made it more compelling. I don’t do much action photography,therefore most of my photography is aperture based. The aperture is dictated by how much depth of field I want,after I set that I adjust the shutter speed and ISO so that my images are not blurred.

                                I was into photography and a member of a photography forum but so much friction and arguments over photography and gear it was unbelievable.

                                  This whole thread should be on the Hobbies board but was possibly missed in the re-structuring a year or so ago. I’ll check with the other guys and talk about moving it.

                                      Now for some wacky panoramas. I would put the camera against the window of a train and let the motion do the rest.

                                        Really great pictures. Hope you can post some more. You’re sense of composition is something you just can’t teach.

                                            digital right?! some of the colours look like film shots.. also, how'd you managed that tilt shift from the sky? post processed?
