Re: Nothing like a new camera to make you feel smart as a box of rocks!
I completely understand! I am very tech minded and I just got a new cam too. I was trying to take videos and I couldn't figure out how until I watched a you tube video!

Thanks...that was her finally giving up and realizing I wasn't going to let her escape from the big black eye that kept staring her down. She really hates cameras!

The pics aren't that bad!! New cameras always take a little bit of practice. I would definitely like to see some more photos of BPs LOL, and you get to practice even more!

The flash on the camera works, but if you can get the flash off camera. ( dont want to get in trouble. The flash on the camera now does not come off) You will be amazed an the difference. Nikon makes a cool little flash the sb400 its cheap, you will have to buy a cable to get the flash off your camera. Not sure if it comes with a defuser or not, but they are cheap too. I hardly ever use the flash, I like the natural light thing myself.

Yeah, I prefer natural light as well. I've always hated the effects I got with the flash on my old camera. When at all possible, I will try to work with what light I have or find ways to add light before using the flash. Once I get all these other basics down, I'll look into an external flash. (And don't worry, I won't try to yank the onboard flash off the camera! )

Judy I'm glad you got your camera. I know how excited you were about it. I would reccomend using your flash until you are more familiar with the cameras functions.

Just remember smaller aperture will give you more detailed shots and the higher shutter speed will help with blurring though you will have to sacrifice one somewhat to gain the other. I would recomend trying to mess around with it on manual settings so you can get a better feel for it.
Did you figure out how to use the auto focus points yet? If not look that up in your manual this will help you out on those shots where the body is in focus but not the head.
