This video tells you all about the Nikon D90 video. This video is in HD.

SIgma 18-50 2.8-4.5 HSM OS lens

I bought it because it was CHEAP and it works on nikon DX format DSLR. I am using this lens on the recently purchased Nikon D2H (Professional Camera from 2003-04). Even though it is only a 4MP camera, enlargements can be made up 20X30 without loss of full resolution. The lens is nice and compact. The overall length does not change when zooming in and out. Any questions or comments are welcome.

Studio Portraits in a Lounge

imageI started off with a couple of 500W cool light soft boxes and reflector but found I was limited on the camera speed and often produced perfectly focussed but blurred shots; I had thought that models would stand still, but the girls wanted to jump around. So I progressed on to a 3ft umbrella with a SB800, SB600 and a couple of old Vivitar flashgun on remotes which all work great, usually! The flash with umbrella certainly stopped the motion but sent light everywhere and I struggled to light the background separately in such a cramped space.  You can see some of the results of this on my  Blog and Website So, how to to stop sending light everywhere? I now I have a soft box attachment for the SB800 and find that I can control the direction of the light a lot better. I liked the umbrella with teenagers who wanted to bop around. It seemed to light them pretty well no matter what angle they were at and the softbox was more useful for headshots. I used a flash, high up behind the model to put highlights in the hair or to rim light them against a dark blackground. I have also added a pringles tube, covered in black tape, as a snoot, and foam cards to act as flags to stop the flash at the back from giving glare in the camera lens. I found using the menu on the Nikon D300 to control the flashes was cumbersome and now use the SU800 Commander unit which sits on the hotshoe and is much quicker to use. With all this kit I have enough to experiment with and am constantly learning. It is beginning to amaze me just how tilting a light this way or that way really affects how the photographs look. I have read a lot but doing it in practise is where I am really learning what I read means. I am not sure what advantages studio lighting will give me  but I still have so much to learn and explore with the equipment I already have.  If I need more space then I will hire a local hall.
