[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 418377, member: 24285"] I hate those 'for dummies' books - so 'dumb'. There is so much information out there for beginners. Many websites, youtubes, CD's and of course good old books. Many of the magazines include sections for learning. I'm a facebook user and have "liked" more than a couple of photography FB groups. Some of these daily post tips of the day and I think I tend to learn best in little pieces. Spoon feed me a tip daily and I can digest that better than reading chapter after chapter (although I do that and it has been helpful. Depending on how up-to-date your local library is there may be books there. I find that these tend to be the read once and put on the shelf books so library may be a good option. Libraries also may have periodicals with may have "new to SLR" articles. Your local camera store probably has a selection of resources too. But in today the web is the way and it is free. Challenge is to weed out the wheat from the chaff. A lot of what is out there is really "info-mercials" designed to sell you stuff. Here are a few I follow Facebook pages Nikon (of course they have their own FB page - pedestrian but good source of official information) N-Photo Magazine ( tries to get you to subscribe but does post lots of good stuff) Digital Photography School - good daily tips - wants to sell your their programs Adorama - this reseller has some great learning video's on their Youtube channel The Photography Podcast - learn while you drive if that's your way Photography Life - "[COLOR=#141823][FONT=Helvetica]Photography Life provides various digital photography reviews, articles, tips, tutorials and guides to photographers of all levels" [/FONT][/COLOR]Digital SLR Photography Magazine - good one[COLOR=#141823][FONT=Helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR]There are many more.
