You'll pick up all the acronyms in time, glad you found us and welcome to nikonites.
Thanks Jeff and Bill, I started putting some on my gallery. There are so many great ones on here, it's almost intimidating. I'm just learning anyway.
I'd like to put one on the challenge this week. I went out tonight and snapped a few of the old barn across the road. I'll see if I can get something better later in the week.

Welcome to Nikonites, Lscha. Hope you enjoy your stay with us for many moons to come. 
Like Jeff said...take lots of pictures, read your manual, ask questions, and have fun while doing it.
Some more acronyms: DSLR = Digital Single Lens Reflex
DSC = Digital Still Camera
P&S = Point & Shoot (camera)
More to follow.

So I found out...the Michigan Sugar Company...makes all the sugar in Michigan with the help of about 1500 independent sugar beet farmers...they make a lot of molasses too! I thought they made sugar from sugar cane only...you know C&H Pure Cane Sugar but I guess not! I learn something new everyday...
Welcome Laura, from one someone who constantly learning from these guys. When I grow up (I'm already old) I want to be able to take pictures like they do.
Don't forget the most important acronym of all.
NAS
Nikon Acquisition Syndrome
The uncontrollable urge to buy new Nikon Camera equipment.

Nicely done. This is what you call a silhouette shot. Nice comp (composition) on this one.

Hello to you all. I have seen some beautiful photography here. I am new to photography and have a new Nikon D3100. I know ...... nothing. I'll be watching and learning. Still looking for the thread that explains all the acronyms.
You knew enough to come here, so that makes you pretty dang smart!
Another acronym.... FUBAR... Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition
my favorite!Thank you for the welcomes and comments. NAS: my husband is already really nervous. FUBAR: that is so funny! I have done this so many times to my 'point and shoot' photos trying to make them something they aren't!
Most of the photos I will post are all accidents. I have yet to slow down enough to gather info on the shots but I'm working on it. Not having to deal with film is so enabling when it comes to wild snapping!!

Yup, download a free EXIF viewer program called FxIF (spelled just like that). Do a Google on it and you'll see where to download it from. Install it, read the instructions, and away ya go!
Easy peasy. By the way...EXIF is an acronym for Exchange Information Format.
By the way...Laura...that pdf file is for the D300s....NOT the D3100. I don't believe you have 4 banks of settings to set up.
