Well I'm a little late to the party, but welcome to the forum....I too live in Beaumont...where about in Beaumont do you live...can't be too far....Beaumont is a small town? I live in one of the senior communities known as Solera at Oak Valley Greens...are you familiar with that community?... I look forward to seeing your work and maybe do a little photo-shooting with you...I wait to hear from you. By the way you can email me directly at: lsjoel@verizon.net

Hi Lane,
I live in Four Seasons, and yes, I'm familiar with Solera. Once I get some decent photos I'll post some on here.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for all the recommended sources! That will keep me busy for a while. I will look for some of those books.

I see that you are in Corona - a neighbor! We moved to Beaumont from the La Sierra area of Riverside.

Welcome to the UHH.
Lots of help here. Lots of videos available on the net (YouTube).
Many good books, some favored by different people.
Basic photography:

Understanding Exposure – Bryan Peterson I have this one in e-book.

Tony Northrup's DSLR Book: How to Create Stunning Digital Photography My favorite, links to videos that are updated periodically in the e-book version

Learning to See Creatively, Third Edition: Design, Color, and Composition in Photography 3rd Revised ed. Edition - Bryan Peterson

The Art of Photography - Bruce Barnbaum I have this one.

Many others for beginners, intermediate advanced and specialty photography (nature, underwater, landscape, action/sports, birds, portraits etc).

I also have the National Geographic videos and booklets. And I have Peterson's book on flash photography.

Google and you will find many things to help with photography as a field.

Also get a book just on your camera: consider David Busch's Nikon D5500 Guide to Digital SLR Photography and many others including the For Dummies Series book on the D5500. I have the Dummies book on my Canon 6D - it is in plain english. Also consider Nikon D5500 Experience - The Still Photography Guide to Operation and Image Creation with the Nikon D5500 by Douglas Klostermann I have his books on both my 6D and 7DII.

If you can find one try a local photography club and/or classes at adult school or a local community college.

Then the next big step, picking and learning the editing software.

And remember to relax and have fun. (Right, after I just gave you a whole college course of stuff to read or watch.) The final exam is easy, it fact it doesn't exist.

Hi, I just purchased a Nikon D5500 with 18-55 and 70-300 lenses. Now I am looking forward to learning to use it for more than just point and shoot use.
