[QUOTE="Tom Grove, post: 357308, member: 25730"] The 1st thing I did when I got my camera (D7000) is I pulled the camera out, put a battery in, read the manual and went back and forth between the manual and the camera. Took me three days to read and explore all the functions to a very basic degree... Next I took simple shots of flowers, or an occasional bug that landed nearby. Then I tried to shoot moving bugs and then close ups. Each time I would learn more about the camera, lighting, and shutter speed and how each affects the picture. I branched out to taking sports shots, skateboarders, surfers, my son's football team... sometimes just some dude riding their bike. Each time I would read up on how to improve for the next time... Books, magazines, message boards are all great places to get information... A couple people here even put up tutorials. Some video some written instructions. Everybody here is awesome to get info from. There's many photo clubs... See if there's one close to you that meets your schedule and give it a try. You will get better, I promise! Just look at my early photos and what I have done in the past 2 months... well some of it... I still make mistakes too... But that's part of the fun too... finding out what works. :D [/QUOTE]
