hi all, thanks for the welcome's, i think i get the iso thingy now, ie. keep it to 100 in bright light and bump it up in dark or low light, i guess there is a lot more in the middle to know too, what i dont get yet is the f stops and the rest combining to get the results, all very confusing still, i would lie to take some photos of cars as i work with them so an ideal subject for me, i have seen the use of filters on the camera to block glare and show the true full colour of the paintwork without flashes or reflections more the case, any idea what filter does this and are cheap ones any good to start with?
