Hi :wave:

Already posted twice so thought i'd better introduce myself. My names Nicola, I am 24 and live in East Sussex. I am a complete and utter newbie to photography, I enjoyed taking 'snaps' on my compact so started to run before I can walk and jumped in and bought a DSLR (Nikon D40X with the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses) and so far I haven't a clue what I am doing with it. I have some nice views round here and some great places to go for good landscapes, I know how I want the photos to look I just need to work out how to get the camera to do it :lol:

So hello and please excuse my obvious newbie questions :)
 
hello :)

Keep reading the forums and the mists will start to clear :)
 
Thanks.

I have bought 'The Digital field guide Nikon D40/D40X' by David D Busch. that seems like it will explain alot as well as how the camera works.
I also have also ordered 'Understanding exposure: How to shoot great photographs' by Bryan Peterson which I have seen recommended.

So those should help in the fight to shift the fog :)
 
Welcome, looks like youe have done exactly what I have, same kit (and dare I say it same book) however it is simpley a case of shoot and see!! The more the better!! Good luck. One thing I will say is learn how to find all of the photo details i.e. shutter speed aperture ISO and this will give you a good idea what settings to use on Manual mode and how they effect the picture.
