    Len for D90

    I am about to buy Nikon D90 Kit (with 18-105mm) for my online store. Right now I am using Sony T200 to take pictures for my online store. Just wonders if I am going to get D90 with a stock len(18-105), would I get better picture, and to take picture that close to the object which len do you recommend. Please see my online store at http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/g...e-Canopy-Store The size of the canopy is a bit smaller than Harley gas tank. As you can see from here http://www.helifreak.com/showthread....t=neak+designs The third posted from the bottom(posted by joco), seem the pictures are better than mine. Any recommendation to make my pictures look better.

    Best Regards,

    I think the 18-105 should work fine.
    The main reason Joco's pics are better is because of time of day that he took them.
    Either the morning or evening golden hour which is just after sunrise or just before sunset when the light isn't so harsh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_hour_(photography)
    In a couple of your shots the ends of your canopys are cut off so try to avoid that.
    Machines look pretty cool!
    Keep Shooting!

    I second the vote on the Nikon 18-105mm lens. It's a great range and Nikon's AF-S VR lenses usually have excellent optics. Technique is usually a bigger issue when comparing photos. It's only when you look really, really closely (or when lenses are really terrible) that the lens makes a huge difference.
