Hey all,

Found this website from a google search on a few dSLR things I was pondering about.

Very very new to all this, I know the camera ain't the best but I had a good deal on a brand new 350D with the standard 18-55 lens.

Hopefully one day I'll understand how to use the manual options, instead of relying on the auto ones ;)

I'm 21 from County Durham (Little town called Newton Aycliffe by the way)

... That's me, go easy please :p
 
Hi Stephen and welcome to TP.

Yes, kick off with the auto options until you get comfortable with your camera then you can get a bit more adventurous..
 
hi and welcome stephen

using manual will get your finger out and learn the relationships with speed and aperture
then if you use other modes you will be aware of which to use
A or S

i use P and fiddle with exposure compensation

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
I've been messing around with the P setting mostly, adjusting what I can and kind of understanding it (failing badly but trying lol)

Gumbo / Terri - It's a small world! I live at Woodham Village, you?
If you could PM me some spots it would be great as I'm a little unsure where to venture haha. The burn is only a walk down the path for me really, although I haven't been down there since I was a kid (biking down the dirt jumps).
 
Stephen,

the burn is great the sping is coming..so there is thatdown there.. you are the other end of town from me. but still not that far.

we have the nautre park near the blue bridge as well now there is work going on there at the moment but it still a good place.

now on the other side of things i have always wanted do our town????

i car't pm you yet uless i have been too slow doing this .. but when i can i will
 
Ah I didn't know they had a nature park there!

How you mean always wanted to do the town, like photograph the entire town? Would be a good idea from angles.

Yeah I can't PM you neither, must need a certain ammount of posts I guess.
