I am an old school photo guy. I used Minolta camera with film for many years. I just started using DSLR nikon d3100 7 months ago. I am loving all advice I am receiving on this website. I am now in the process of getting a D7100.
This is a wonderful website! Thank you !

D7100 is next on my list too, Mike. Unless it's replacement is compelling. Still enjoying my D5200 to the max. Don't we have a great hobby? Glad you're getting something out of the Hog. It's a great place and has really helped me...

The d7100 is another body . I have bought a few lenses that are old school ( manual ). I have been shooting mostly aperture priority in the beginning. I got a few tips from a prof fellow that has a d700 and he said I should try shooting in manual mode. I have been shooting in manual mode now. The 24 mm 2.8 nikon lens is a manual mode lens anyway. My prime lens is a 50 mm 1.4.

Welcome to the Force...

You have entered an addictive land of truths, myths, fantasies, ghosts, goblins and good old fashioned advice (whether you want it or not)...

Seriously though - the folks here have lots of good advice and a couple of days of experience and are willing share what they can - don't hesitate to ask detailed questions, in fact, the more details, the more accurate the answer ;)

A couple of links to help you navigate the forum and some resources to hopefully answer your questions or guide you in your quest...

Looking forward to seeing some of your photos.
