Yeah, like I said I just did a very quick edit in Picasa with a few effects. Nothin serious.

HKYStormFront · 04-29-2012, 10:42 PM

go easy on those bro... let the picture stand for itself, not what effects can be piled on it. the picture would be fine as it was straight out of the camera probably. the only "effects" that i've seen that work well are high dollar photoshop actions that have to be bought at great expense.

I rarely add effects. I try to get the shot right the first time as to impose as little editing on the shot to begin with. Just for reference here is the original.

I shoot with a D3100. I have the 18-55 kit lens, the 35mm/1.8, and the 55-200 'kit' lens. Nothing serious, but I do have most of the focal lengths I need covered (save for an extreme wide angle)

I am looking to purchase my wife a camera, probably either a D5100 or another D3100. I think I have been convinced to invest the extra couple bucks into the D5100.

I am trying to make a lens decision though. We will be sharing glass, so some overlap may be helpful, vs what would normally be advised.

Thoughts I've had:

18-105: good walkaround lens that she could just toss on and be happy for 99% of use.

50mm/1.8: heard good things, love the 35mm prime I have...a 50 would probably be great

85mm /1.8: heard great things about this lens, a little worried about dropping $500 on a prime

tamron 10-24: would love a wide angle lens. heard mixed review

Most of her shots are either of landscapes, pictures of our dog, or close-ups of things like flowers.

Curious to hear thoughts/inputs...and thanks for your help.

Its in Decatur.

How much of an interest does she have in photography? I would probably suggest something like the 18-105. I would like to have an 85mm, but I know I wouldn't use it enough... I need to rent one one day though..

But anyways, that would give her a good walk around lens so that she doesn't have to lug around extra lenses and such.
