Thanks for providing this site. It has already answered a few of my questions. I am new to Nikon, but have been a snapshot junky for years. Ha! After looking at many of the photos posted here, I am very much a beginner. How you guys can see what you do in objects, etc and capture them in great photos is beyond me. I find myself just looking everywhere I go to see if I can see something that would be that special view to look at (even without a camera in hand). I just practice looking. Ha! In the film days, I liked to experiment, but the cost of developing many "dud" pictures was discouraging and hard on the pocket book. Ha! With digital it will be more fun to play, I think. I hope to be able to pick up on the multitude of expertise found here. I have the D5300 and a couple of lenses. I have used Gimp and as I learn it, I like what it can do. I have not played with shooting RAW yet, but that will be in the near future. Thanks.
