Anyone know about PHOTOGRAPHY?

hello! I love taking pictures, and i recently upgraded my little point and shoot to a Nikon D3000 D-SLR

I got a standard 18-55mm lens with it, and a Tamron 70-300mm Lens too which is all good and im figuring out how to do bits and bobs.

the thing is, i cant find a simple online resource for tips and advice. it would be great to have some info on what other lenses i might need and what they would specifically be good for, and how to get certain effects such as a focused subject and a really out-of-focus background

anyone have any good websites, or tips even?

cheers

Nikon itself has some good tips and suggestions

Check here:

Also, if you want to take it up a notch, they actually have an online school (not cheap but I have friends who have done it, who said it was worth it)

Hope this helps...

it's digital. go shoot a couple of shots, write down what your settings were for those shots. rinse and repeat.

Yeah man....that's when you have a girl with self-esteem issues or maybe seeks attention no matter the cost and you mix her with a guy (or guys) with a large wang and no performance anxiety flaws, give them a script with some really cheesy and embarrassing dialogue, and afterwards, they have hot, butt naked sex on film.

No wait....you said PHOTOgraphy.

Judging by your profile pic, you need to adjust the blue filter.

take a course ... there are only so many things you can adjust while actually taking a picture ... understand all those things and you are well on your way ...
