Are any of you guys into photography? I purchased a camera last year and would love any tips or advice you guys may have

cowboy, one place I tell people to start out doing (just above an amateur here) is use the aperture priority mode. Point at a subject, take a bunch of pictures while adjusting the aperture so you can see what that does to "depth of field".
Composition is key with any picture and that's where the good photographers show their stuff. Remember, a great photographer can produce a great picture regardless of the camera being used. That, I learned, the hard way...
Night time may require a tripod. for some night time shooting, i typically switch over to shutter priority. the longer the shutter is open, the more movement you can get, like seeing a cars taillights leave a line behind...cowboypack02 said:
I've done some pictures with people, but I enjoy taking landscape pictures. I have seen some night time pictures that were awesome and i'd love to try my hand at that, but haven't really had the time
so do i. full manual is past my capabilities on the fly...Civilized said:pineknollshoresking said:

Agree. I still shoot in aperture priority mode more than any other mode. I like being able to focus on composition and depth of field.
Yep. I care about learning about photography. I care even more about making sure I get the shot.pineknollshoresking said:so do i. full manual is past my capabilities on the fly...Civilized said:pineknollshoresking said:
