My Backyard
Okay, so I am just starting out and I took these today. They are not original. I edited them in Picasa. Let me know what you think and PLEASE tell me if I am doing something wrong. I know NOTHING about photography yet and I am here to LEARN.
Thanks.

Take off, Hoser!

kmc212, You are an unbelievable artist. These picture are pure gold. Way to go. You want to share them in a thread that more people will see. I am not up on how to do this, but put a good title to your artwork so it will catch the attention of many.


WOW, thank you! You're just trying to make me feel good, aren't you? Well, it worked. Haha.
I may post them there, but I hate having to come up with titles. I am not good at that. Those were all redone in Picasa. They didn't look that good when I took them. :(

HOW did you do that? Thank you, Meives. I think I know how you did the one of Willow...but the date stamp...I thought that would be impossible. I like it. I appreciate you helping me. I cannot afford Photoshop. All I have on my computer is Picasa.


Most photo software allows a clone tool. Like a styles that copies one area and pastes or paints the other area. You can set the brush from 1 pixel to many. If you zoom in on your date you just copy areas near the yellow area. It's pure fun for me. Good luck.

Thank you, Meives. I have been playing around a lil, in Picasa. There are some pretty cool things you can do. :)

but see? I appreciate the info but is everything except HOW to do it.


I also have a D3100. Just got it. I am having the exact same problems. You are NOT alone. I also would like to know "how" to go into bulb mode. Been trying it for a couple days and cannot figure it out.

Good luck. :)

Welcome! I also have a D3100 an really like it. Outside of the normal lens I use a 70-300 VR for wildlife etc. I would recommend printing out the reference manual, it is much more helpful that the
user guide. Just go out and experiment with different settings and enjoy your camera, you will get better the more you shoot.


Everyone keeps telling me to read the user guide, but there isn't much in there, lol. Maybe Nikon thinks that people who buy the D3100 already know all this.
I am going to buy a book. probably the D3100 for Dummies.

I just received a brand new Nikon D3100 for Christmas and have NO CLUE how to work the thing. I am here to learn about aperture, ISO, composition, and all that fancy stuff. I also need help knowing which lenses are compatible, etc.

Any and all help will be appreciated. :)

Feels good to finally jump in.


Nice Avatar. Welcome to the HOG. I often say "shoot on automatic and then check the readings" It will tell you the ISO, the Apature, and speed of shutter". Later you can play with manual settings. Post some of your artwork and we can see what your doing.

Thanks. My Avatar was taken with a point and shoot at Baker Lake in Washington. Love the pic but hate the date stamp. I will start posting some pics. My only problem is that I don't get out much, so most photos have been taken inside. They're pretty boring, lol.

Nice pictures of Willow. The middle picture is a bit off color. The one in snow is nice, but snow turns blue if not handled with PP. Date stamp is very easily cloned out. If you include a download, I can get rid of it for you. Much of the software will show your date and time and ISO, aperature, speed of shutter.

Thanks foir the critique, Meives. I am going to need a LOT of help. Here is my Baker Lake photo. I would love it if you took out the date stamp.

Which would be best, the field guide or the D3100 for Dummies? I want a book that goes through EVERYTHING.

Thanks

Welcome from another Washingtonian! Congrats on your new camera. The first thing you should do is sit down with your camera and the manual. Study the parts of the camera and learn all the names. Then you can go page by page until you have an idea of what you want to ask about. The time you spend now will be important so don't try to skim the pages. As you cover new topics, try them out on your camera. As much of what you want to know has been covered, go to Search in the taskbar and read. Lots of knowledgeable folks have put in a lot of time making sure questions can be answered. Then come back with a specific question or two. If you don't do your homework, the answers won't make much sense. Most of all, do approach this with joy as it is a joyous and marvelous event when you create a picture that you absolutely love and, in your mind at least, should be hanging in a world class museum!

Thank you Forbescat. Yes, I have been stalking, like I said, so that I would not come on here looking like a TOTAL idiot. lol. I am just amazed at all the photos on here and how beautiful they are. I know a lot of them have been shot with more than just a 18-55mm lens. That's one problem I do have is trying to figure out what "cheap" lens would be best for a beginner. I LOVE the shots of the moon. I didn't even know those were possible to take without a telescope. ;P
Anyhow, I hope to learn a lot in here and have some fun!
