Hey all!
I've had my Canon EOS T6 for about a year and haven't really done much with it. I tend to have a short attention span after the shiny object novelty wears off of a new purchase. 😒 I'm hoping to break that habit. Besides, given where I live, I've got a gazillion opportunities for spectacular landscape shots practically in my backyard. Well, now that I think about it, my backyard is no slouch, either. Hoping to learn a lot from you folks!

Welcome to UHH Joe. Read your camera's manual and become familiar with the operation of your camera, learning its controls and what the different settings do and how they affect the pictures you take. A good book to read is Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure". Then just go out and shoot, and shoot, and shoot some more. The good thing about digital is you can shoot all you want and it doesn't cost anything. The more you shoot, the better of an understanding you will have of your camera, its controls, and how the different settings affect your image.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
