<p>Hi members,<br>

<br />Is it true that nikon lenses have gone up since the earthquake? <br />I am looking to get one, but not sure if this is the right time? <br>

Any info appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks everybody for your help. Your responses are very helpful. <br>

Nayeem, this wedding is not south Asian. </p>

<p>Hi,<br>

My sister is getting married in July and I am going to help her choose a good photographer and video service. <br>

What should I consider when choosing one? Where do I even begin?<br>

There are so many choices. We want somebody who is very good. I did not have a good photographer for my wedding and I will regret this for many more years to come. <br>

This wedding is in Louisville, KY area- 40 min south of Louisville. If you know anybody, please recommend. <br>

Advise appreciated!!!!<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>This is my second post here already (and one more is coming soon). I got some great tips on my fprevious post.<br>

My dad asked me to take some pictures of my parents restaurant so he can put it on his webpage. The room had poor lighting (well for taking photos).<br>

How can I improve these photos? Any comments are welcomed. This was taken from balcony. <br>

I took these with my Nikon D90 + AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR with camera's flash. I forgot to bring tripod (I tried to steady the camera on a little wall) Since then I purchased SB-600 TTL external flash. <br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>This was a good exercise (and we had fun with the snow today)!!! I've been reading more about photography and not applying it as much. So, this was a good way for me to learn. I found it easier to put it in manual and play with aperture and shutter speed like James and Jeremy suggested. I first played with exposure compensation (had some white photos and few OK photos). I still have to try Gray card and more to learn...</p>

<p>It's good to be on the forum where people are willing to share their knowledge... Thanks again!!! Amela</p>

<p>John, I like the blue colors with a snow. In my white balance menu, I didn't have an option for tungsten. I can adjust colors after I select direct sunlight in the color diagram (and choose the blue side of the diagram) . Is that similar to what you are talking about? <br>

Thanks to everyone for the advice!!!</p>

<p>Thanks Andrew and Jeremy. <br>

Jeremy, I have D90... </p>

<p>I am new into photography and taken lost of interest to learn. I've become more picky with the quality of the photos that I take. <br /> I am planning to take some photos tomorrow of my kids playing in the snow. <br /> Can somebody give me some tips on exposure setting and anything else that I need to know about photographing with lots of snow in the background?<br>

I remember when I took some pictures while back with my point and shoot camera, they came out dark. <br>

If it helps I have 50mm f/1.4 lens and 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 lenses. <br>

Thanks a lot. <br /> Amela</p>
