My names Larry. I picked up a Nikon d3000 2 weeks ago. I'm loving this thing but have a lot to learn.
@ Essence of Imagery. I also am an hour north of that bridge. In the Town of Windsor.
I will work on the profile soon.
I have the kit lens. I also have a Sigma 70-300 DG Macro. It's not the best lens but it will work for now.
Thank You for the very kind offer. I will take you up on it down the road. For now, I just want to get used to it and learn how to shoot in other modes besides automatic.Well, I'm pretty sure you know where Sebastopol is, then. We should meet up sometime and go shooting. You can borrow some of my lenses while we're shooting to see if there's a particular one you find you need.

Once you get comfortable with changing your ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture, then you'll be amazed at what you can produce.
Just like the "fire triangle" of heat, fuel and oxygen - the process of taking a picture has a triangle.
ISO - how sensitive your "film"(sensor) is to light - the lower the number, the lower the sensitivity.
Aperture - how much light the lens lets in. - the lower the number, the more light it lets in.
Shutter Speed - how LONG the light gets in. Usually measured in fractions of a second (1/xxxx) the lower "xxxx" is, the slower the shutter speed.
How you assemble your triangle determines how the image turns out.
Very well put. I have the basic concept somewhat figured out. What I don't have figured out is how much or little of each to apply to get the desired affect I'm looking for. I have spent hours in my back yard in different light changing settings to get an idea of what each change does.Once you get comfortable with changing your ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture, then you'll be amazed at what you can produce.
