Hi everyone, I'm new to taking pictures. I had a cannon SI1200 little hand held that I was tired of and wanted something I could afford and take better pictures, so I had bought about a year ago a Nikon D3100. Thus far I really take pics of anything that sparks my eye. I would love to learn more of the technical aspsects of taking a great picture. yeah I can change my settings on the camera based off what I learned on the screen but I don't really truly know why i'm doing it. I hope to learn and also get some nice pointers :) thus far seems to be a great place.

Thanks CrispColors. I have the default lenses the 18-55mm. I am looking though to get the 70-200mm one. I'm not sure yet that's another thing I'm researching. It seems the D3100 has the motor off the body so the lensed for autofocus have to be in the lenses something like that.


Before deciding on your next lens, think first what type pictures you want to take. But your lens according to your type photography needs. Not only the lens but also the fstop will be very important in what you plan to do. The faster lenses are great but usually the most expensive .
