froknowsphoto.com In this 5 Min Portrait video I use the most standard of digital camera gear. I use the Nikon D3100 with the 18-55 VR Kit Lens. If you have a Nikon DSLR from the final number of many years from the D3000, D5000, D5100, D7000 and up this video will show you you can get fantastic photos with anything. The very same retains accurate if you have any Canon DSLRs from the T1i, T2i, T3i and 60d Be confident to examine out the other 5 min portrait video clips.

@vuilbaard101 Oh, OK. It does focus on the D90 and if you say there isn’t much of a difference, then I guess it would be a waste of money. Which zoom lens would you recommend for me, if not the 18-135mm? Thank you for the advice!
@JaredPolin Why you sound so gay when you say “Fro Knows Photo” ???

@TheAbsurdity101 What you have seen on video was I a very small room with the only source of light… window. Adam was being photographed from the angle 90° as opposed to light coming from the window… so not frontally lit. ISO400 or 200 wouldn’t be sufficient to even use 1/30 aperture time. Not to mention ISO100.
@swagonmystep2345 Go Nikon, Go RAW, Go Manual
@openenso I had the same accident months ago! Jared the culprit
I love my D3100 and the kit lens too. Yesterday I got me a Tamron 70-300 Di LD, ultracheap (I’m poor). Gonna be another challenge due to absence of VC
@handsomelok I have exactly the same habit. I’m able to half-press the button even up to 10 times before taking the photo. It’s not a fear of not getting the focus right. It’s sort of like when the golf player moves the bat backward and forward dozens of times before smashing the ball. Mental concentration or maybe a sheer addiction, dunno. I just like doing it. Many of us do
i liked this one
I need a tip please. I am thinking of getting a Canon 7d or a Sony a77. What should I get.
Hey Fro, This is a good video. Showing what you can do with a kit lens my man! Great Job!
“It’s tough in this position for me.” Hehe.
How come you have such high iso settings?
do you use auto focus?
@JaredPolin I agree, @KrazyFuckinCrackers1 get the 18-105 VR kit lens which is quite a good starter glass!
5 Min Portrait = 14 Min =-)
@handsomelok because I want to make sure that im locked in where I want it and that its tack sharp. If he moves or I move I want to get the focus right.
Fro, you focus a lot of times before pressing the shutter, why?
I think the shots around the window gave the most to the pictures. Looking at the raw for this week, I was kind of disappointed to see that every bit of the sketch on it had been blown out. I think seeing that against the image to the left would have been a cool contrast for the shot.
jared, you should teach adam about time lapse photography, because it would be nice to watch the way he paints.
good
@TheHipsterguy: You Can see that under the Pictures he was mostly at 3,5 i guess there was much less light than you might tell from the Video. I recently learned that pushing the ISO is not a such bad idea as it might seem. Glad to see that the Fro does that too
