Hello from Tennessee!

Hello! My name is Teresa and I live outside Nashville, Tennessee. I have been reading this forum for about 6 months now, but I just now actually registered so that I am able to post. I have really enjoyed reading all of your posts and seeing the photos. I have owned a DSLR camera for about 10 years, but mostly just used the Auto function. I enrolled at a local community college so I can finally learn all about how to use it. My first semester, I fell and broke my arm about two weeks before school started, so I was unable to take Basic Photography, although I did take PhotoShop and Digital Technologies. I will finally be able to start the photography part in a couple of weeks when the new semester starts. The camera I have is a Nikon D5000, but I decided to use it to begin with and save money while I am learning so I will know more about what I want to purchase. I will also be taking B&W darkroom this semester. I love taking pictures of nature and wildlife.

2 D5000s as my fall back cameras. Excellent cameras. I do raw, single point focus, tri pod, aperture priority. Mostly shoot at 200 or 400 ISO. Trick I use for better colors is minus 1/3 ev setting. Kind of like when we use to underexpose slide film for better colors. It is a great little camera only replace it when you can not achieve your desired images. I still shoot it on a regular basis. Most of all have fun! Experiment!

Welcome, Teresa! The d5000 is a great camera. Actually it was my first digital. I still have it and use it quite often. Along with the d750, (2) d200, it adds variety. I hope you enjoy your time spent here.
