This page offers a collection of my favorite How To's and Tricks for the Nikon D5100 like: shooting in black & white, adding timestamp to your images, including yourself in group shots and increasing color saturation for more vivid photos...plus more on the way, so stay tuned!

  1. Portrait Lenses, Tips & Tricks – This guide will give you some insight towards capturing beautiful portraits and candids with your Nikon D5100 using scene modes, in-camera settings and other tricks you won’t find in the manual. I’ll also shed some light on recommended lenses and gear to help you take eye-popping portraits.
  2. Shooting in Black and White – Learn how to capture and convert photos to black and white using the D5100.
  3. Pump up the color – Learn how to enable Vivid picture control to get brighter colors.
  4. Include yourself in the photo using the Self-Timer – In situations where you’re using a tripod to shoot self portraits, group shots (including yourself) or even scenes in low light, you can use the self-timer to automatically trigger the shutter. Other than the convenience factor, the self-timer can also help eliminate camera shake in low light situations. Yes, even the simple act of pressing the shutter button (on a tripod) can lead to image blur in low light.
  5. Add Time & Date (Time stamp) to your photos – Learn how to enable the Time-stamp feature inside the Nikon D5100.
P.S. You can reward me by using your shutter clicking skills on the Google +1 button. In return, I'll cook up more tips and tricks to share with you. Thanks for your support! :)
