Hello there fellow photographers!! Today i purchased my 1st camera ever I'm really excited! I was wondering if you guys had any pointers, comments, advice..... Like i said Im new to this, and i really want to learn how to edit photos on Photoshop make them look nice and crispy... thanks in advance!!!

 

Rule of 3rds, learn to shoot in manual mode, understand exposure and lighting....and most of all.... HAVE FUN!

Start out in auto mode. Learn how to frame an object. Read your manual! After you understand all the buttons on your camera switch over to manual and set your appreture and shutter speed yourself. I like my pix a little on teh dark side so manual is for me. Th e Nikons are a bit confusing but if you need anything let us know. Most of use are canon users but there are a few Nikonians. I just got a D300...

 

The manual and a book called Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson

That's how I first started

 

Pictures are about more than just the subject you're shooting. Background can make a world of difference.
