New to the D3100, looking for some feedback

[AperturePriority]

After years of messing with wet proccesing, I am so lazy to do PP now. (I did B&W, color negative, and Kodakchrome as well). I take photos both in RAW and JPEG for fun, but use most of them OOC even with the red flowers and in hash sunlight. Here are some:

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm going to go out this evening and see if I can get some decent pictures of the apple blossoms in my backyard. They're a nice pink/red color. I didn't even think about the RAW + JPEG option in my camera, I saw it initially but didn't give it much thought afterwards. Silly me. lol

I always leave Active -D lighting on. I think it helps

Buy this book. Everything you wanted to know about the D3100.

Amazon.com: David Busch's Nikon D3100 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (9781435459403): David D. Busch: Books

I was totally looking at this book today on B&N.com before I saw your post! I will for sure be getting it now.

raw is basically a digi negative so size wise is alot larger hence finer.i shoot family events in jpeg but raw if its a must have shot due to the manipulatability of raw. when shooting jpeg the camera determines "best "pic qualities.but in raw your pc (which has a much larger processor does the work)not to mention if you use view nx that came with the camera for processing you can variably change the settings for best quality
