Hi, I'm Nancy. I'm 65 yo and retired for 3 yrs. I've done photography for decades off and on as time and inclination allowed, but mostly off in my later years, though I have had a few bouts of intensity when I had subjects to inspire me.
Because of my bad back and a light case of fibromyalgia, I gave up heavy equipment years ago, though I have not yet parted with my old Minolta 101. Anyway, I tried a Canon Rebel XT for awhile but couldn't get into it, so I sold it. Recently I purchased a Sony DSC HX400V, and I find I like it, but need to learn better how to use a digital camera. I'm still programmed for manual setting, and it's been so long since I did much more than point and shoot that I have trouble controlling the exposure requirements.
So any help in translating old manual film control to the digital arena is welcome.
I'm going to try to attach a pic I took this past spring at a park beside the Shenandoah River. We'll see how that goes. :)
