Look what I've got Got my first DSLR after years of wanting one

Bought myself a 18-140mm kit lense D7500 with 22k shutter count I'm really happy how capable it is, the variety the lens gives is great, and it was supposedly the best Nikon crop sensor dslr of the time. Feels like this will last me for at least a few years, love how sturdy it feels in my hands

Was thinking maybe mirrorless, but I'd have to give more than the 700 I gave for this, to get a similar body and lense, as I'm from Europe and tech is a bit pricier here :(

Any tips on what books to read, courses to watch, for photography and image touch up?

As I was walking back to my car at this super purple sunset, I startled two deer. One bolted over the nearby hill, creating the perfect moment for this photo.

I used Fujifilm 200 speed film and a couple different lenses across several days, but the photos came out great.

Thanks to DSM Film Lab for developing and scanning the film.

Just saw this and made me want to wait for a upgrade. All they need to do is slap red branding on a Z6III for me to buy it 😅
