Shawn Swaner 2009-10-14T04:26:13Z 2010-03-07T09:30:21Z <p>I have a Nikon D40 that has worked really well for the past year, but with the new D5000 down to around I think it might be time to upgrade. The D5000 has twice the pixels and twice the ISO range. For casual, non-professional photography am I going to notice a big difference? I also noticed that the framing rate is better on the D5000 (4 fps vs. 2.5). Is there enough of a difference to upgrade, or should I wait another year and see what they have next year? The D40 works great, but the D5000 looks like twice the camera for $600. </p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/84/best-place-to-use-a-fish-eye-lens Best place to use a fish eye lens? kcdog22 2009-10-15T06:42:43Z 2010-03-07T04:24:04Z <p>I'm planning on getting my first fish eye lens, and wonder if there is a best way to use it and create a great composition.</p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/120/how-do-you-get-around-the-ownership-photographers-feel-over-location How do you get around the ownership photographers feel over location? Kim Nevels photography 2009-10-16T06:36:28Z 2010-03-07T01:25:38Z <p>I know this is similar to a question I've asked already, but I'm trying to figure out how to ask it. What I'm looking for is what you in regards to location to shoot at a location another photographer uses without causing issues. Photographers seem to feel an ownership to a location when they have found a lush green location. Living in Arizona, there are so few lush, green places you can photograph, especially without paying for the location. So how do you go to a place someone else obviously uses without burning bridges with them? Or do you just do it and if they are offended then you look for other photographers to get help from?</p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/106/how-do-you-take-pictures-similar-to-others-without-offending-other-photographers How do you take pictures similar to others without offending other photographers? Kim Nevels photography 2009-10-16T03:46:25Z 2010-03-06T09:31:07Z <p>I look at other photographers stuff all the time. I like what some do, or I like where they shoot. How do I merge the balance between seeing what they do and copying it, while I build my confidence in myself without having others feel like I'm just trying to copy them and steal their business? </p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/126/your-best-photo-from-a-camera-with-only-one-button-iphone-phone-disposable-cam Your best photo from a camera with only one button (iPhone, phone, disposable camera, etc) Shawn Swaner 2009-10-17T05:08:17Z 2010-03-06T09:31:07Z <p>Similar to <a href="http://fotoanswers.com/questions/18/post-your-best-photo" rel="nofollow">Post your best photo</a>, but this time post your best picture taken with a basic camera such as a phone, disposable camera, science project camera etc. </p> <p>Please vote for a favorite and give feedback.</p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/10/automatic-or-manual-camera Automatic or Manual Camera? kcdog22 2009-10-11T06:02:25Z 2010-03-05T10:29:51Z <p>I'm new to photography, should I use the Automatic setting or start with manual from the beginning?

Kim Nevels photography 2009-10-15T02:26:20Z 2010-03-04T13:26:56Z <p>I am just a amateur so I don't feel comfortable charging a lot at this point. So I can't go to places that charge me to shoot there. So I am struggling to find places to shoot where I can have someone meet me and not feel like we are about to get into trouble, yet when I see great places that someone has taken photos at, they don't want to let me know where it is. I understand photographers don't want "their" spot over run, but where do I go???</p> http://fotoanswers.com/questions/11/what-is-the-best-photography-school-or-classes What is the best photography school or classes?
