Id say its amazing for portrait close ups. Have you posted any shots of closeups with people using the 85mm f1.4?
 
Its hard to find good images online

I was somewhat familiar with using a Nikon D3000 so i decided on buying my very first DSLR: Nikon D3200.

I will admit i was kind of new with the terminology like ISO, F-stop, exposure time, metering, etc.
dedicated myself to study up and so far i have taken a few photos i feel are worthy.

decided on taking a walk out on the cloudy, post-moist Coastal Virginian weather


(taken with a D3000, just showing the D3200)


F/7.1
1/8 sec
ISO 800


F/6.3
1/640 sec
ISO 400


I think the stratus clouds are fantastic
F/7.1
1/800 sec
ISO 200


F/7.1
1/160 sec
ISO 800

Tips, advice, constructive criticism, and suggestions are very appreciated.
I am quite new to the hobby, but i am very aspiring to get better at various styles of photography.

Camera: Nikon D3200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm (essentially the included kit lens)


I do have some ideas for recording/ shooting some Airsoft sports action.
And i am thinking of saving for a telephoto lens for sports and insect/bird photography.

D-SLR photography has made a slight change to how i see the world around me now.
I may look at a tree, building, or even a sign and ponder the idea if i may take a photo of it.

That new way of seeing is exciting, isn't it! My only advice is to think about *making* pictures instead of *taking* them. HOW you photograph something can be more important than WHAT you photograph.

just toying around with settings on a dark-outside
April 9, 2014 7:45pm

wanted to see the effect i could make if i made the illusion that the outside was lighter
F-stop: f/5
Exposure Time: 1/5 sec
ISO 3200 (i probably should have gone 1600 due to noise)

and i've grown to using Manual focus alot more.

I apologize if this makes anyone hungry for fresh off-the-assembly Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Just toying with Shallow DOF, which is slightly intricate to achieve with the DX AF-S 18-55mm kit lens



Today was my sister's birthday and she really wanted some Krispy Kreme doughnuts; truly, it was our first time to ever eat fresh krispy kreme doughnuts so the experience was great.



f/5.6
1/40 sec exposure
ISO-400
Nikon D3200
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens



f/5.6
1/20 sec exposure
ISO-400
Nikon D3200
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens


I'll have LOTS of fun once i buy myself a nice 50mm Prime lens.

Are you using auto white balance? Those could be a bit better color wise.
