I had taken the photograph from afar (distance being the basic glitch in our relationship), using my Nikon and zoom lens while hiding behind a fake marble pillar. I was hiding because if he knew I'd been secretly photographing him for all these months he would think I was immature, neurotic and obsessive. I'm not. I'm an artist. Artists are always misunderstood.(Thwonk)

Don’t,” he said in a voice that was soft but adamant. His troubled expression reminded me that I was not the calming force in his life. I was the exact opposite. Moving the bulky camera aside, I asked, “Don’t..?” “Don’t look too close.” Lowering the Nikon, I touched the stubble on his jaw. “What are you afraid I’ll see?” Without touching any part of my naked body, he still managed to slay me. “Everything I’ve become.
Ella Frank (Veiled Innocence)
Guys don't understand great art. They don't care that sometimes the camera has power beyond the photographer to record emotion that only the heart can see. They're threatened when the camera jumps ahead of me. Todd Kovich was pissed when I brought my Nikon to the prom, but I'd missed too many transcendent shots over the years to ever take a chance of missing one again. A prom, I told him, had a boundless supply of photogenic bozos who could be counted on to do something base.
Joan Bauer (Thwonk)
It is not I who mix the colors but your own vision,' he answered. 'I only place them next to one another on the wall in their natural state; it is the observer who mixes the colors in his own eye, like porridge. Therein lies the secret. The better the porridge, the better the painting, but you cannot make good porridge from bad buckwheat. Therefore, faith in seeing, listening, and reading is more important than faith in painting, singing, or writing.' He took blue and red and placed them next to each other, painting the eyes of an angel. And I saw the angel's eyes turn violet. 'I work with something like a dictionary of colors,' Nikon added, 'and from it the observer composes sentences and books, in other words, images. You could do the same with writing. Why shouldn't someone create a dictionary of words that make up one book and let the reader himself assemble the words into a whole?
Milorad Pavić (Dictionary of the Khazars: A Lexicon Novel)
I’m gathering Kylie thinks that all it takes to capture an image is to point and shoot. That’s what everyone thinks. But there’s a lot more to it. It’s taken me years to frame things correctly. People assume you can’t take good pictures on an iPhone, but they’re wrong. Some of my best shots are on the phone. They’re raw and simple, and most of the time no one knows you’re taking a picture. It’s much better than the thousand-dollar Nikon my dad got me for Christmas. I don’t think I’ve used it in months.
Valerie Thomas (From What I Remember...)
The less gear you use, the more you grow as a photographer. Although there are fewer options available, you'll find more creative ways to capture what you feel! In a way, all your technical options before turn into creative solutions that improve your photography even more.
Marius Vieth
When he stepped into the shower, the hot water scalded him. He let it run over his face, burning his eyelids. He put up with the pain, his jaw clenched and his muscles taut, suppressing the urge to howl with loneliness in the suffocating steam. For four years, one month, and twelve days, Nikon always got into the shower with him after they made love and soaped his back slowly, interminably. And often she put her arms around him, like a little girl in the rain. One day I'll leave without ever really knowing you. You'll remember my big, dark eyes. The reproachful silences. The moans of anxiety as I slept. The nightmares you couldn't save me from. You'll remember all this when I'm gone.
Arturo Pérez-Reverte (The Club Dumas)
Always try to choose quality over quantity

I'm not saying I was scared. Okay, I was scared. He had an MP5. I had a Nikon.
Joel C. Rosenberg (The First Hostage (J. B. Collins, #2))
It's one thing to put on your nation's uniform to give your life for your country. But to dress up in black-market khakis and head into battle in a borrowed bush hat, armed only with a Nikon camera, 10 rolls of film and notebook, is definitely another thing.
Peter Arnett (Flash! The Associated Press Covers the World)
Ne adamlar var! Bana soruyorlar. 'Sen ne marka makineyle fotoğraf çekersin?' diye. Fotoğraf makineyle mi çekilir! Şimdi en iyi, en gelişmiş daktilo bende olsa en büyük yazar ben mi olurum! Roman daktiloyla mı yazılır! Arkadaş, fotoğraf burayla, burayla çekilir. Ben Singer dikiş makinesiyle bile fotoğraf çekerim. Şunlara bak. Alıyorlar Leica'yı, Canon'u, Nikon'u ellerine, yola düşüyorlar. Bir köylü mü gördüler. Dur! İki şipşak, tamam... Koyun sürüsü mü gördüler. Dur! İki şipşak, tamam... Çadır mı gördüler. Dur! İki şipşak, tamam... Ben bir çobanın fotoğrafını çekeceksem, onunla oturmalıyım, birlikte yemek yemeliyim, gece çadırında kalmalıyım... Onu tanımalıyım. Fotoğrafını ancak ondan sonra çekebilirim.

Adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. This step is critical; if you don't set the viewfinder to your eyesight, subjects that appear out of focus in the viewfinder might actually be in focus, and vice versa. If you wear glasses while shooting, adjust the viewfinder with your glasses on — and don't forget to reset the viewfinder focus if you take off your glasses or your prescription changes.

It pulled at her, as such scenes often did, and she found herself leaving the scent of coffee, grabbing her Nikon, and rushing out barefoot into the chilly night to photograph the deserted street. It soothed her as nothing else could. With a camera in her hand and an image in her mind, she could forget everything else.
Nora Roberts (Sanctuary)
Still doing divorces?” Al Garcia asked. “Here and there.” Keyes hated to admit it, but that’s what covered the rent: he’d gotten damn good at staking out nooner motels with his three-hundred-millimeter Nikon. That was another reason for Al García’s affability. Last year he had hired Brian Keyes to get the goods on his new son-in-law. García despised the kid, and was on the verge of outright murdering him when he called Keyes for help. Keyes had done a hell of a job, too. Tracked the little stud to a VD clinic in Homestead. García’s daughter wasn’t thrilled by the news, but Al was. The divorce went through in four weeks, a new Dade County record. Now Brian Keyes had a friend for life.
Carl Hiaasen (Tourist Season)
Nikon was a stern enforcer of discipline on both laity and clergy.
Robert K. Massie (Peter the Great: His Life and World)
Nikon—than any tsar before or since.
Robert K. Massie (Peter the Great: His Life and World)
And my mother always knew that, hence her Nikon raised high and pointed right into the mirror. She sensed that by documenting her own body, she was preserving her history. Beautifully. Nakedly. Imperfectly. Her private experiment made way for my public one.
Lena Dunham (Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned")
Renee lifted her trusty Nikon and snapped a few shots of the car and the plate as it flew into the garage. The camera’s sturdy black housing was dinged and scratched from countless operations around the Mideast, but it was still as functional as it had been the day she bought it. It was her safety blanket and one of her only real possessions. She checked the images on the digital display just as a Chevy Malibu crept down the street and pulled into the target location. Renee knew she had to move or risk missing the meeting.
Joshua Hood (Clear by Fire (Search and Destroy, #1))
Paulin est un costaud à la barbe entortillée dont la conversation achoppe rapidement sur les monosyllabes. Cinq jours par semaine, il est photographe numérique à Paris : il joue des épaules lors de shootings de stars ou de conférences de presse ministérielles, et loge dans un hôtel pouilleux qui finira de passe. Le vendredi soir, il monte dans une longue Citroën CX mangée par la rouille pour rejoindre l’arrière-campagne où il se retranche chaque week-end. Trois cents bornes plus tard, des lapins font rebondir leur queue blanche dans le faisceau des phares. Des ornières longent un bosquet de pommiers jusqu’à une masure paysanne en pierre volcanique. Paulin pousse la porte en bois percée d’une chatière. Des poutres de deux empans traversent la pièce basse, et on cuirait tout un cochon de lait dans la cheminée. Quand l’orage fouette le toit d’ardoise, ployant la cime des arbres, la maison évoque le refuge d’un gardien de phare à jamais éteint. Le samedi et le dimanche, après le déjeuner, Paulin remonte son pré jusqu’aux pommiers. Il emporte le minimum : un vieux reflex Nikon, deux pellicules 100 et 200 iso, un objectif 50 mm, un 300 mm, et deux cannettes de bière. Son chat gris grimpe à un arbre et se couche sur une branche basse. Paulin s’allonge sur le dos, ferme l’œil gauche, colle le droit au viseur, pointe l’objectif vers le ciel et s’adonne en argentique à la pêche aux nuages. Pour lui les cumulus dessinent des hommes du palais et de la rue, des animaux ordinaires, légendaires ou disparus. S’il fait chaud, Paulin rampe sous le bosquet. Parfois il sent un vaisseau battre dans la paupière de son œil clos, puis celui du viseur se ferme à son tour et, petit à petit, l’objectif de l’appareil rejoint l’oseille sauvage et les coquelicots.

Fabien Maréchal (Dernier avis avant démolition)
Land was not surprised by digital photography. He’d argued for that loonshot in front of the president of the United States. He did so before anyone else was even in the game. In a 1988 ceremony honoring Land, the director of the CIA, William Webster, declared, “The contributions Dr. Land has made to national security are innumerable, and the influence he has had on our present intelligence capabilities is unequaled.” So what happened with Polaroid? Why didn’t Land jump on digital for his own company, exploit the head start from his national intelligence connections, and use those advantages to beat Sony, Canon, and Nikon to the punch?

Whether you have an Iphone, Android, Canon, Nikon, or Panasonic, it won't matter if you don't have it on you. My point is, bring your camera with you. At the very least have your phone. The quality of most phone cameras has improved drastically and will be better than nothing.

The Nikon D5100 is clearly an advanced digital SLR, and offers the potential to capture professional quality images in most any situation you wish to use it.
