[QUOTE="dfarmer03, post: 18769, member: 5914"] Hi everyone, I picked up a D3100 about two weeks ago and it's my first digital SLR. I took an intro to photography class in college a few years ago and used a 35mm canon rebel. Since then I've wanted a digital SLR and finally got one! For the past two weeks I've been reading up on things and experimenting with the camera -- trying to get familiar with it and all of it's capabilities. On my lunch break today I went to barns and noble and bought a digital SLR magazine where I saw a few twilight photos that really inspired me to try it! I researched it for a bit today and went out right before sunset, headed not far up the road to Vermont's Circumferential Highway. I climbed a ledge and setup the tripod. Using my 50-200mm lens in the lower range with a UV filter. I set to manual mode and experimented with several settings. The picture below is at f/8, 30 sec exposure, and ISO-100. Let me know what you truely think -- you won't hurt my feelings. I'm here to learn! I'd be intersted to hear what you may have done differently or any tips you have for shooting at twilight. Thanks in advance! -Derrick [/QUOTE]
