Hi everyone! It's been nearly 4 years but I'm back and I'm excited to start talking about Nikon photography again! And wow - 22K followers!

I just picked up the new D5500 so I plan to share the things I learn about it along with my other Nikon gear.

Also been doing a lot of smartphone photography over the last year so I may cover a bit of that too but only if you guys are interested

Oh and I grabbed the amazing new 18-300. Awesome travel lens! See what Ken Rockwell said about it kenrockwell.com/nikon/18-300mm…

Haha - saw this on The Photo Brigade thephotobrigade.com #SpeedDating

@AdorkableEllyn yes, and I've never felt confident saying that about a camera. I'm finding it hard to come up with any complaints. A rarity.

planning to order the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens for my D7000 when it ships in June. What's your next lens? http://is.gd/fMe615

@MUGABIKER best I can find is "June".

@crichardsphoto I have one. Great studio lens on a FX sensor. Don't find myself using it on my D7000 much though. It's in a dead zone 4 me.

@MUGABIKER I stopped using Flickr a long time ago. I think my account expired.

@MUGABIKER as it says on my profile page, I don't work for Nikon. So I'm getting my info from the same places you are. ;)

@KristyOPhoto smart lady! Make sure you invest the time to learn it inside and out. It's a magnificently complex camera (in a good way).

oh sweet - I can pre-order the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S lens on Amazon. Done! http://amzn.to/lZK4LR

Relatively recent firmware upgrade (1.02) for the Nikon D7000. Make sure you update! http://is.gd/XiLfKL

@parchedboyfrien I love doing black & white but I prefer to shoot RAW and do it in Adobe Lightroom & Ps. Better results from software.
