[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 654194, member: 26505"] I was going to say same thing. Focus and exposure. Also, some cameras have a setting that won't let you shoot if there is no card in the slot. Usually, when my camera won't fire, it is because my exposure is too low. Welcome to Nikonites. I you want to "focus" (ha ha) your shooting, you could use a 52 project list and pick a subject or technique each week just to give you a goal. Or you can look at the threads on here for inspiration. Sometimes you see something cool, and it will be a new technique to try. It is important to learn the basics of exposure, but if you don't shoot, you won't ever get to where you want to be. I finally figured that out. I was busy reading and not shooting. I improved when I started shooting and posting images. I got lots of feedback and still do. Start an image thread, you will be surprised at how much you will improve with some suggestions from the group. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
