Hi Eric and welcome to the Nikonites Community. Lots of friendly people here that love to talk photography and about their nikons. If you would please complete your profile with your camera, lens and any other equipment you are shooting with. The people here need this information in helping you with any questions you may have.
Hello Eric and welcome to Nikonites! You are not ever alone with a lot to learn, everytime I think I've got a good handle on something in photography, something else comes along for me to explore and master. You're in good company here and lots of folks willing to help you out.
