Looks like a Spanish Matador! You have a very talented eye.

Have you got a fast 50mm Jessie?
Nikon make some pretty bloody good ones that won't break the bank.

I have a slow one, lol.
When I bought my camera, I bought the "beginner" kit. The 18-55 w/vibration reduction and the cheap zoom.
I love photography. But I love looking at everyone else's almost as much as I like creating. Since I am just learning...I probably should put money towards taking a class. Who the hell knows?
If, no when, I get a new lens I was looking at getting one from Sigma or Tamron. Of course, Nikkor seem to be the "best". But, as of right now, my life is too much and looking into it is requiring time and effort I am not willing to expend.

You want a fast prime to go with your kit lenses when you want sharpness and better abillity to shoot in low light.
This is the one that I'd buy as it mirrors the natural human field of view on your cam.[link]

How do you know what my niceness is usually wrapped in?
I've never been nice to you before have I?
Anyhoo, everything should be researched properly, even $200 lenses, and Theres other stuff you should check out.
I don't think it has very good bokeh for instance.
This guy knows his stuff and tends to tell it like it is [link]

Wow. Do you actually get winter in July then? I don't ever recall you mentioning it snowing?

I am interested in the backdrop here. Is it blue sky breaking through branches?

I shoot Raw these days so there's never any camera artifacts.
Much better for post production.
