Dont have a clue about filters and lenses... DSLR Newbie

12 January 2015 - 11:31 AM

Im getting d3200 soon (birthday gift so not sure when)... here are some accessories Im getting with it..

  1. Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
  2. 52mm 2X Professional Telephoto Lens
  3. High Def 52mm wide angle lens

 

filters

  • UV filter absorbs ultraviolet rays to produce crisp, clear photographs
  • Polarizing filter eliminates reflections from non-metallic surfaces, and increases contrast and color saturation

FLD filter helps balance light in outdoor situations or where fluorescent lights are used

 

Never used anything past compact camera I am wondering if i have enough lenses /right kind to get a good start with taking wide range of photos?  also wondering about filters (my compact has built in ones for art etc..)  Im definitely clueless about buying any additional filter lenses etc...  I will have tripod and camera case slave flash etc...    

 

 

I am wanting to do more in my hobby so any ideas feedback are all welcome..  suggestions on what to buy ??

Hi I'm new here  I've been using a compact camera with nice features and done some pretty decent photography and sent out nice photo gifts for Christmas not expecting anything in return. To my surprise my father loved the photo book I had made for him so much he said He wants to buy me an upgrade! I am so happy because I've been planning to save for a d3200 as my next step in my hobby so he is getting me one with accessories as an early birthday gift... At my age i don't expect any big deal over my birthday but my dad insists lol!  He said for me to pick it out because I would know what I want as far as upgrade. I had done plenty of research, read and watched reviews and found this would be my perfect step up. I love nature photography taking photos of my children and grandchildren, and some of moving objects such as trains, but still not good with inanimate objects.  I have plenty to learn and I know there are people on here with plenty of experience and helpful tips, as well I look forward to interacting with you all. ,
