Hello I'm Shane and this is going to be my Blog!
Hello,
I'm Shane, and I am 34 years old currently residing in New Orleans, La. I have begun to take some pictures with my Nikon D3300 I bought to get into photography as a hobby. I am a complete amateur with a fancy toy I only halfway understand how to use! I do not get much travel in, but end of March I will be heading to Japan and hopefully will have tons of beautiful pictures to remind me of finally getting to go on a big adventure! Otherwise most of my pictures will be local scenery, friends, and random things that catch my eye. If you like any of it enough to upvote you have my utmost gratitude as It would greatly stroke my tiny ego. So here is to a new place to share! Cheers! Thanks for looking and I hope to have an entertaining blog for others to enjoy.

I'm just a few years older than you, and used to live in New Orleans myself back before Katrina! Just hearing the name of that city takes me back! Thanks! Upped and Followed!

Welcome to Steemit, id like to ask you about the focus on your Nikon D3300 is it fast when it comes to close objects?
@bbkoopsta I have little to compare it to but I have taken a few close-ups of local flowers and depending how close you get affects the time it takes it seems to me. I use auto-focus all the time for now until I start practicing portraits and it can take several seconds for the camera to get spot on. The D3300 actually has a series of dots all over the screen that you can use to focus on something even if it isn't the center of the picture. I hope this helped any little bit.
Thanks for the reply actually it did help, i have a Canon 40D & sometimes i use my friends 600D sometimes they perform well on close objects and fast moving too! the reason why i asked you about the focus speed because i tried Nikon D3100 and noticed that it's kinda slow and sometimes inaccurate compared to Canon, and also i wanna buy a Nikon D5200.
Starting with the D3300, the performance of the Nikon is far superior to previous models, I did have the chance to play with a 3100 series and I'm almost sure my Samsung S7 phone is a superior camera.
