50mm f1.8 is great for portraits. Not sure what are you missing with that one? 85mm is good for portraits too if you're using Full Frame camera, but since D90 is not one it's just too long. I'd use 50/1.8 for it has a wide enough Aperture for blurring the background. I'm using Nikkor...

Thanks Rob for the welcome and for the answer. Dman, thank you. And whitevanman, thanks too for confirming what Dman wrote. After asking the question here I did some more research on the net and discovered that most people are using Dynamic Area and AF-C for sports/moving subjects. I...

Never mind your new website, your photography is simply AMAZING. Every wedding tells a story and you can feel the love in practically every photograph. You're truly doing a wonderful job. Few things about the site itself: - music should be optional and there should be on/off switch. for me...

Hello guys, I have a question if I may: Which AF-Area mode is the best for moving subjects, please? Dynamic-Area or 3D-Tracking (11 points)? Lets say I want to take photos of people walking on the streets. Which AF-Area mode should I be using for best results? Or, for example, children...

I'm sure they will be more than satisfy with the photos, considering their knowledge about photography. Their expectations are that the photos look better than what they would produce with some P&S compact camera, and I'm sure I can deliver at least that (although, those P&S camera's macro modes...

phototuition, like I wrote in my first post, composition, food and table arrangement... presentation itself is irrelevant at this stage since the photos here are my dinner from the other day - lol. I didn't even try to bother with composing anything. Was concerned about the IQ and sharpness and...

Thank you all for your kind comments and help. I agree with you guys. I hate this on-camera flash cause it's always too harsh and rarely (if ever) gives good results. But sadly, I don't have a soft-box nor any other kind of external flash. D90 with two mentioned lenses are all I got. Great...

Hi ladies and gents, A friend of mine asked me to take some shots of the food for his online website and I said "sure" - lol. I explained him I'm not a pro and all, but he doesn't mind. Now, I only have Nikon D90 and two lenses: 18-105mm Kit lens and 35mm/f1.8 prime. That's it. No external...

Hey jomike, Thanks for the warm welcome and for the help. I will check if the setting is on iTTL, but if it's the default setting it probably is since I haven't touched anything flash related in the menu. Interesting info about the subjects that are back-lit. I will experiment some more...

I'd like to ask a question about D90's on-camera flash, if I may. I know very little about flash photography and I don't like to use flash at all, but sometimes I just have to if I don't have much time to set everything up or if there's just not enough light available. Or what is mostly the...
