[QUOTE="skene, post: 299599, member: 13155"] Welcome. Great advice that people have already given you. Grab your manual, study it along with your camera. Join local clubs as they can help guide you through your adventure and give you a helping hand with learning how to compose shots. Watch videos on Youtube (very helpful), pick up a book on your camera. Sometimes the manual is not as descriptive with how to work the camera with the ideas on how someone that is used to shooting day in and day out. The manual will however give you that jump start. Ask questions. If you don't understand something, it's better to ask and look foolish, than be the fool that never asks. The quickest way of getting your feet wet, and my favorite is doing street photography. Just go out with the camera, take pictures and after several thousand you'll see how your skill progresses. Never be afraid of offering a different point of view in your shots. Most importantly.... Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
