kajunkid,
Sorry for your loss. I know the best advice someone gave me after a loss was to stay busy and occupied. Well you've definitely chosen a hobby that will take care of that. Between getting your perfect shot and post processing, if need be, you'll most likely feel some comfort knowing this was something your husband enjoyed doing also. Remember, practice, practice, practice is the best way to achieve your goal of getting off manual. I'm sure you'll do just fine.
You'll see there are many helpful people her on the Hog. There's also a great search feature at the very top of the page, on the right hand side, which might be able to find answers to basic questions you might have. However you decide to look for answer to you needs is fine, we're here to help.
Good luck and happy shooting. I'm sure I'll see you around the forum.
Laura

Welcome to the club. So sorry about your loss.
You will find a lot of great information by club members.
My only advice on your new road is to practice, practice and practice some more. I have been shooting for over 40 years and I still practice learning my camera.
I am a Nikon shooter too.
Again welcome.

Welcome to the forum. As you well know by now, digital is much easier to learn than film. I take tons of pics. I have taken about a hundred pics of the TV in my computer room ... trying different settings, different ways to aim a flash ... different ISO settings ... fun to learn.
Out of about five thousand shots with my Nikon I saved about two hundred ... like someone has said take pictures of everything and learn how your camera works ... try manual, shutter and aperture priority to find what you like. It is a hobby, have fun with it. You have a great camera.

So sorry to hear about your husband passing. Welcome to the Nikon world. I shoot with the D810. You should really enjoy the D750, it is a wonderful camera and should last you for years

Welcome to UHH kajunkid, glad you joined us. Sorry you lost your husband. You have found an excellent forum to assist you along your photographic journey. Many knowledgeable and helpful members reside here. I take it from your user name that you may be located somewhere in Louisiana. I live in Slidell, La. I also had a D80 before upgrading to the D7100.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.
