D60 Captures

So last week I got a new dSLR. I had been using a Canon Digital Rebel circa 2004, but it was getting old, I only had one lens and it had a mark on its sensor (it left this weird mark on each picture I took.)

I decided it was time for me to upgrade.

After much research, I settled on a Nikon D60. Its not the best, but its size, features, and cost fit me the best. I am working with the Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 VR lens for now, but looking to upgrade my lens collection in the near future, especially before I head to Lebannon.

I look the camera out to take some pictures last Saturday night.

First impressions are that its a light camera, and easy to hold on to. The VR or image stabilization helps a great deal, especially in dark situations. I was very pleased with the pictures I was able to take, remember that I am not that skilled [yet].

I am going to start using Adobe Lightroom 2.0 to process my photos, but for now even though I shot them in RAW [er I mean NEF, Nikon's version of RAW] I haven't done any post processing yet. They are noisey and blurry, I know, I know. Its my first run with the camera, at night, without a tripod.

I put up a few more pictures from my new camera on Flickr, take a look: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeewan_ghuman/sets/72157606974830826/]
