[QUOTE="Bourbon Neat, post: 456543, member: 37727"] Hey Stan, welcome to the forum. "So many variables", you hit that right on the head. Your camera, the D5500, is a lil sweetie for sure, and has many good qualities. I too scored one for re-entry to this hobby. The memories I have of using film was way simple, check the film speed, guess at metering, set shutter and aperture, compose, squeeze and drop the film for processing. That worked fine for documenting the children through their growth and achievements, in my opinion anyway. Have to admit that I took processing for granted and had no clue how someone was making my stuff look better than I had contributed. Now that we are doing our own processing, we must learn all of those variables included in the dslr's. Getting them tuned in correctly makes a world of difference in the post processing that you will be doing in whatever software you feel comfortable with. The capture at the correct settings is the beginning, the post processing takes the image to whatever heights possible, by a competent artist. You will see my failings for sure. There is a wealth of free information and many good advisors at this site, you will gain much here. If you progress with your photography, you will find a weakness in the D5500 that it cannot fine tune to each individual lens. Another downer is having just one control wheel. On the up side it does 60fps video, have not used that feature yet. [/QUOTE]
