| Sweet! Congrats on the new toy ;) I would practice shooting outside first. Read about f-stops, exposures, etc. BTW, set your clock right ;) |

I pretty much started playing around with it. First it was snapshots of the dogs and our daughter. Then it was the sunset. Pretty much snapshots at first then I started getting into the technical stuff. I'm doing a lot of emotive portraits of my daughter, animals, still life here and there, scenery. Best thing I ever got to go with my camera was a tripod- hubby bought one for me for Christmas.
Read the manual, learn the settings ect. And just have fun! |
