Hello All,

My name is Bob Barrett in Austin, Texas and I recently acquired a Nikon D90. My other camera was a Canon Powershot A640 - so this is my first DSLR experience. I have alot to learn about all of the settings (ISO etc.) especially when I try night photography. I believe I joined the right group in order learn as much as I can about this wonderful art. Now I can roll on down the highway shooting 4.5 FPS till the 16GB card is full :lol:

. Thank you very much for allowing me to post here

I love the way I caught this Bee (I'm really going to love this camera).

And a bird in the back yard:

Thank you all

G'day Bob and Welcome.

A fine couple of images to start off your DSLR journey. What lens(es) did you use?

Andrew -
My first bunch of images were taken with the Nikkor DX 55-200 VR f/4-5.6 lens

Bob, are you happy with the lens?

And, shouldn't you be asleep? It must be after 12:30am!

Hello Andrew -

Yes - I'm pretty happy with the lenses - (After all I cannot afford the faster one's yet - I believe the F/2 lenses are in the thousands of dollars) - as for sleep - I work nights in the IT field - then get my sleep cycle messed up taking photos during the day on my days off :lol:

Cheers!

Ha! I think I know what you mean. I work for the global part of a global IT company. This means that I end up attending calls at "global" (=US) times. At least at this time of the year with us on DST and you guys not, most of my calls are 5am or later.
