Hi all,
I have always liked photography, but my skills were good enough to point and shoot with mobile built-in camera :). I have treated myself to buy a Nikon d3200, with a Nikon AF-S DX nikkor 18-105mm lens for my birthday last year, because I foolishly thought that a decent dslr camera= cool pictures. To my despair I learned that I have no clue how to handle that camera. Manual wasnt much helpful, and after about 10 pages, discouraged, I put that away, and only used my nikon on rare trips outside of the city to shoot couple of pics on autofocus.
However, my new years resolution was to get on with my hobbies, photography included. To make a long story short, I went on a full day photography workshop to get to know my camera and to stop being intimidated by it. And that was the moment when I felt that it "kicked in", and all theory with aperture, and shutter speeds and iso started making sense. One may call me foolish, but I really had problem to figure out connection in between those. I am really excited to learn to unlock all of my camera potential.
I really enjoy portrait photography and some nice macro close ups, landscapes, and since my boyfriend is a motorcyclist, motorsport photography.
I am looking forward to learning from experienced users, and getting to know you :)

Hello and welcome, you'll get lots of info. here. Some of it correct ! :)
 
Hi Paulina, And welcome aboard TP, looking forward to hearing from you and maybe seeing some of your images on the various forums. "Enjoy".
 
Welcome, lots of good advice on here, especially on the beginners forum, where there's no such thing as a silly question. So stiles you just need to have it explained something differently so you understand.
 
Welcome Paulina and it is good to hear you are finally getting to know the camera.
 
Manual wasnt much helpful, and after about 10 pages, discouraged, I put that away
Camera manuals are written by Japanese geeks, then translated into English by Russian Orthodox monks.
When you know all about your camera the manuals are great for confirming it, but little use as a 'how to'.
Good luck with your photo progress.
 
welcome to the wonderful & complicated world of Photography- Oh and welcome to the forum too
