Sfaturile astea sunt pentru 'noobi'.
Dar as merge la pozat noaptea. Amatori ?

Saptamana viitoare eventual as semna si eu condica de prezenta pentru o nocturna.

Nu am facut deloc cu D90-ul inca nocturne.. si nu stiu cums e comporta.. si cat e in garantie... sa il testez, nu?

vin dar dupa ce imi iau telecomanda

Daca aveai Nikon incercam sa sincronizam 2 aparate cu o telecomanda. Altcineva interesat de aceste incercari?

@ rremus: pentru noobi sau nu... se gasesc destui printre noi care nu au facut "check" in dreptul fiecarui punct.

@ Marius: buna lista de "cumparaturi". Multumesc (sau multumim)

@ Sveto. Am si eu Nikon, daca incerci sa sincronizezi 2 aparate cu aceeasi telecomanda sa nu faci publice pe forum rezultatele. Trebuie sa ramana " in familie "

Atunci: let's push the button and make a Nika' BOMB


Regula 8. (...) Practice zooming with your legs. Daca nu ajung la inel cu picioarele, ce fac?
