By pointing the flash upwards you're lighting up the sky, this has no impact on your picture a Unless there is something (like a ceiling indoors) to bounce the flash light off.

Looks like a good book

Nice scenes, great advice I may follow I'm a few weeks to!

Simply use the lens that suits you best at the time. Wider gets more in, or use the longer lens to pick out detail or frame your shot to save cropping later.

Good solid start, may your slr fun begin.

So what happens if you don't, or didn't?

I say capture the moment and the memories. I mean a close up of baby wrapped in a blanket, which is being held by mum. Mum gazing into babies eyes, taken over her shoulder. Baby in cot, with teddy bears etc. The room full of cards. It's an important time, and these shots will be looked back on...

Best advice I would give is to put a little more distance between yourself and your dog. You dog is pretty close, especially given the range of the lenses you mentioned you owned, and you're probably hitting minimum focus distance for your lens (it will not focus on things that are really close...

Welcome to TP!

Thanks - now I'm really confused! I'm now considering D700/D750 or D600 or D800. Had a look at the D7200 and is does feel like a step backwards.

Umm, now more options than ever. Thanks for the thoughts guys...

Educate me...

Hi guys, Looking for some ideas of what to upgrade my D300 to? Want to stick with Nikon. Was considering a second hand D610 but I like the idea of staying DX as it gives me extra reach with my 300mm when photographing animals. What are your thoughts?
