Hi, I am new here. Photography was my big hobby long ago, when I was a teenager and after that, for many, many years I was just shooting occasionally some photos here and there, mostly with cameras set to full auto. And within last couple years most of them (photos) were taken with just a mobile phone.
Several months ago I decided to reconsider this situation and so I am trying to find out if my old hobby could become my big hobby again...
And so months ago I started "experimenting" with some digital cameras "found" at home (Samsung NX10 and Samsung NX1000 and recently I got a good lens for them-Samsung NX 12-24mm lens). Pretty quickly I realized some limitations and so couple days ago I bought Nikon D7200+Nikkor AF-P 18-55mm, both in excellent to like new condition. Nikon is totally new for me, I never used any Nikon camera before, so I have a lot to learn-and I found it very interesting to do that.
Currently I am learning and setting things how I like them (eg back button focus).
I just got stuck with trying to set Fn button to trigger automatic bracketing burst, with exposure delay mode, to take landscape/perhaps sometimes portrait in nature photos, with tripod. (I am generally not going to use bracketing without tripod).
I may ask some questions about that setting soon, if I can't work that out by myself and some other questions come to my mind...
Generally I am interested in landscape/nature photography (not so much wildlife) and I shoot everything RAW+jpeg.
Digital photo processing is also something new to me, also plenty to learn and I enjoy doing this. Several months ago I started with RAWTherapee (with rather limited success so far) but couple weeks ago I found On1 PhotoRAW 2025 (with first successes visible pretty quickly) and today I paid for it-this will be my main editor for at least several months or perhaps for long time...I do not know yet.
At the moment I do not have much knowledge to share so I will be mostly asking questions and I promise trying to limit silly ones ;-)
