New DSLR Camera Tips and Ideas?

supagav

USA standard gauge in the late 1960's, in 1:29th.
Hi,

Me being the daft numpty that I am, I recently lost our old camera whilst my partner and I were out in Hungary visiting her family. Whilst this is pretty annoying it is not quite the end of the world as our camera was old, and we were both wanting to upgrade to something newer and more powerful to experiment more with our pictures.

To cut a long story short, we decided upon a new Nikon DSLR, a D7000 as my father had a Nikon lens going spare, so our thought was to try and save a bit and just get a really nice body.

I'm currently messing around and experimenting with things and having quite a lot of success, but I just wanted to ask if anyone has any particular tips or suggestions that they use with these types of cameras? Any special settings or tweaks? All ideas or thoughts here would be most warmly welcomed! :)

As many of you may know from our posts, I do have a love of realistic, lying-on-my-belly type close up shots so again any suggestions for these would be great. Also any tips for indoor photography for capturing progress on our workbench, in low lighting or difficult lighting would also be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Gavin
 
I too like Nikon Cameras, even their point and shoot ones seem to be a cut above....
Mine is a D3200 that I bought in Hong Kong and for what I want it has more features than I'll ever need. It has "macro" mode but it really needs a seperate "macro" lens for detail shots, next trip to HK maybe.... One area Nikon Cameras seem to excel is in unaided low light photography ie no flash or tripod.... I have just bought SWMBO an L830 for our upcoming trip.

A ring flash is a handy gadjet for photographing detail/portraits/closeups/macro and not expensive;

And of course filters are always handy; http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/67mm-ND2-4-8-Close-up-Macro-Filter-Kit-For-Nikon-D300s-D7000-18-105mm-LF455-/181475717952?pt=AU_Filters&hash=item2a40cbb340
