Start at the beginning

I’ve been a fan of your magazine for more than a year (since I had my first camera), I am a beginner, and during this time, I have learned a lot from your great stories. However, I have not seen many articles about the 3000- or 5000-series Nikon DSLRS. I think there is still a lot to teach people who have this type of camera. I have decided to share my best pictures I have taken with my D3500 – I will surely improve! If there are other amateurs like me with this type of camera, I would like to show them that, with a good eye and patience, they can take extraordinary photographs. Erick Miranda Márquez

We kicked off our beginnerfocused Nikon Know-how series last issue in our Nikopedia section, and it continues this issue with an in-depth explanation of autofocus – though we’d bet even seasoned readers could pick up a thing or two!

Thanks for sharing your stunning sunset. We tend to feature the cameras we use everyday in our articles, though much of what we cover can be applied to cameras all across the

Nikon range.

Erick is rightfully proud of his sunset shot taken with his D3500, illustrating that this entry-level Nikon is a very capable camera.
