[QUOTE="Lee, post: 149313, member: 8142"] Welcome :) It's the beginning of a very social, fun and addictive journey. (And a great camera you have too!!) Enjoy every moment of it, dont' be afraid to make mistakes, to share mistakes and then to come along and share your triumphs and achievements. Two things to start with: 1. Learn your camera inside out. Know how to feel your way around the menus and settings even in the dark. Take your time and read your manual and read it with your camera in your hand or within arm's reach. 2. Learn to understand the exposure triangle. A book that changed everything for me was Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure (another one to read with your camera in hand). 3. (Had to add one :p ) LOVE EVERY MINUTE! I started to see things so differently when i started looking at them through a viewfinder (as opposed to LCD screen) Oh and another guilty plea here for taking black photos when i forget to take the lens cap off, lol [/QUOTE]
