The Big Apple Circus Produces Flexible Images

The Big Apple Circus came to town and it was a great time for for the family.  There were some interesting visuals at the circus and I have posted a few of the shots for you to see.  Bello is the main clown and he had some serious clown skills.  Luckily my seats were front and center so snapping shots with the Nikon D300s glassed up with a 50mm f1.4 produced spectacular colors.  Get Gearshift...Jim Folliard.

What Kind of Digital SLR Camera Should I Buy?

There are a lot of good cameras on the market, in fact most digital slr cameras will be able to produce a great image. With that said, I would focus on getting different lenses. Lens variety is the key to developing great photographs and my first recommendation is to get a 50mm 1.4f lens. This image was shot with a Nikon D80 in natural light with the 50mm 1.4f lens.
