I bought a D5300 with 35mm 1.8G few days ago... really happy with the results im getting...

@nabeel1124 - I'd suggest you to also go for 35mm lens since it's a DX version. If you chose the 50mm, It'll multiply the focal length since 50mm is an FX lens. It would be too difficult to take shots indoor.

@opethian - dude I am absolutely impressed by the shots you've taken! Just saw ur flickr page and it's amazing... I've been trying to get picture of the milkyway (in the middle of Lahore lol) and barely getting anything... just few stars and mostly it's white... even after using LightRoom... I read you can take pic of Milkway even in a lit city but I'm not getting anything.. is it due to air pollution mixed with light pollution?

Anyway - here are a few of my shots that a friend uploaded through his flickr account...

Nikon 18-55mm VR II Kit Lens - Manual Mode D5300.

Hello everyone. I had been away from Pakgamers since quite some time therefore Babar asked me to introduce myself and share my portfolio here. I am a doctor, business entrepreneur. head instructor at Nikon/Olympus and a photographer by profession. I am not very active on 500px and Flickr but here is my Facebook page:

Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/akbarmistry
Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/akbar.a.mistry

I am lucky enough to have one of the largest collection of equipments in the country but let me tell you, equipments don't help unless you know how to use them to their maximum potential. Here are some of the pictures from my portfolio. I have downloaded these off my Facebook to save time therefore the quality is compromised.

This was taken using a D610 and 85mm 1.4G @ 1.4. Used some small leds to make the foreground while the chandelier on the bride's right served as a filler. And post processing in PS as needed. Everything done manually. No filters or plugins used.

We have been conducting classes at Nikon since more than a year now. The pictures on the page are either taken by me or my friend who's the co owner of this studio. I don't upload pictures taken by rest of the team members even though their work is pretty good. Most of our sessions are in fact free of cost. So let me know if you'd like to attend some. Believe me, we have been to Russia and Malaysia and the designer and models we met including the ones in Pakistan told us that they had never seen this kind of photography on the ramp, ever. Being a doctor I don't take a lot of projects. Only a few weddings and some fashion shoots. And you're right, a lot of page on Facebook are over rated and they charge a lot more than what their work is worth.

Wow buddy i have seen you around on PG but never knew you were into photography , what a gallery you have pure Master class work !
don't mind it i actually like your Ramp shoots more than wedding which is quite vice versa with other photographers i have come around
if you give Sessions for free don't you record it as well ?, if you do that then Do share with Pakgamers Community

They don't allow us to record our lectures. I would love to make tutorials at home but have been very very busy lately. I am a doctor too besides being a photographer and I hardly get time to sleep. That's the reason I disappear from PG every now and then.

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

  • L LegacyGamerGuy:
    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
