[QUOTE="zx7dave, post: 1089, member: 257"] Hi Jessica - Your D5000 can do just about anything you want it to...photographers were taking incredible pictures for the last century with much less equipment when it comes to technology such as high ISO with minimal noise... The limitation you will have is lenses and lighting...learn about the ISO and the white balance and bracket shooting (I think the 5000 can do this). You should get familiar with how your camera reacts to light...take tons of pictures of anything and everything indoors and outdoors, sunrise, sunset, in shadows etc..so when you have to be ready and comfortable for that special shot you will be knowledgeable with your camera and ready to react quickly. The 35mm 1.8 lens that was previously mentioned is a great lens to keep on your camera for awhile to learn... Get a day when you have a training session..meaning you take pictures of nothing and everything (not a critical event like a party ow something) and tke your camera off automatic and play with the A, S, and M modes as well as manual focus...you are limited only by your imagination....
