Reviewing My Camera: Nikon D3100

Hey guys!

     So today I'm going to fill you all in about me and my camera. My very first camera was a Nikon, and as of today i still shoot the same brand that I used when i first fell in love with photography. Nikon has been a joy of ups and downs to work with, and overall i love the company. Multiple times previously I have used a canon as well, both in stores trying it out, or outside in an actual session with one of my good friends. After using both a Nikon and a Canon, i'm still here with my pride and possession, the Nikon d3100.

     I love the endless possibilities with my camera. As a girl in high school who enjoys photography just as a hobby, this Camera meets all my needs. Its still classified as an entry level Camera, but is still more complex than any canon, allowing the never ending limits. The Nikon d3100 is built around a 14.2 megapixel sensor, allowing not only live view, but full HD video. This within its self allows many possibilities from capturing pictures to videos, all in one. This Camera also is one of the few from this generation of Cameras to shoot in RAW, Jpeg, or Fine. The versatility of this leads me as a photographer to have multiple options in an easy to access settings. One of my favorite parts about my camera is the fast auto-focus. I love how quickly it will focus on my subject and snap continuous photos as I hold the button down. Most importantly, I enjoy the high quality photos i'm able to capture with the Nikon D3100. This Camera never fails to impress me, session after session.
   
     A minor fall back for me in this Camera is the limited number of high quality lenses. I currently own 4 different lenses for my Nikon D3100, but fail to find options beyond what i already own. This camera is also beginning to fall dated, and to me that is a slight setback that i might just have to deal with.

     With newer cameras coming out I may just have to upgrade, but for the past 4 years with my camera around my neck, I've loved every moment snapping photos. Overall the image quality and tons of options makes my experience above and beyond. As stated earlier I've been interesting in photography for many years and by now, have learned the ins and out. Although I don't suggest this as a first camera, i do suggest it for anyone hoping to improve their current skills. The Nikon d3100 is great for someone knowing what their doing, which allows the camera to do its job to the fullest. All in all, i would rate this camera 8 out of 10, and that is simply due to the fact that newer technology and features puts the Nikon d3100 back a few steps.

Senior Portrait Favorites

Senior Sessions As a photographer one of my favorite things I get to do is take senior pictures. Since the very beginning I've been so passionate about taking senior portraits and everything that goes with it. I love being able to capture the smiles and outgoing personalities that differ so greatly between individuals. Here's a show down of some of my favorites! Above is a picture of Hannah rocking the summer heat deep in the woods. The tress were so green and beautiful creating the most perfect background for a simple shot.  This next picture of Hannah is a more casual picture that suits her personality perfectly. She loves the outdoors and the freedom it gives her to throw on a cap and explore. Cameron was so fun to photograph! He was always smiling and laughing, which truly brought out is outgoing personality and glowing smile. My favorite part about this photo and this session as a whole, was his contagious laugh! The bright sky and bold greens ...
