Our First Nikon Camera

I've been thinking of doing some phototgraphy for a while now, but haven't had the time to do any. I think I should tell you a little about me. Last year my husband got our first Nikon camera; a D3100 series, and I can't tell you how much better the photos have been. So much more clearer than our Sanyo point and shoot camera. Then one day our Nikon stopped working so we ended up sending it in. We just couldn't seem to be without our camera for a month or so. So we went out and bought another Nikon and of course a 200mm zoom lens! We now both have our own cameras and now he wants a 300mm zoom lens. Which is good because I am starting to want a bigger lens than the 55mm that it came with. I'm also craving a macro lens but not sure what the cons and pros are between the two lens. I'll be uploading some of our better pictures and please remember that we are just beginners. He's gotten quiet good at the manual focus, while I still need some practice. Wish me luck.
