[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 569606, member: 22866"] It sound like you are where I was some months ago, with a lot of ambition to learn, but need a little basic knowledge on using SLRs. Check out this info on Canon's site that gives some good comprehensive info and lens recommendations. Click on "Enjoy digital SLR cameras" to get a bunch of great info on getting to know the camera, basic functions, and techniques for shooting great photos in a variety of ways. [url]http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=MultiMiscPageAct&key=Learning_Station&fcategoryid=2533[/url] There's also a couple of books I would recommend: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0817463003/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]"Understanding Exposure"[/URL]: A great book also discussing the controls of the camera and how to set up photos. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0817441816/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]"Learning to See Creatively"[/URL] helps you learn how to take interesting and expressive photos. Also, understand that photography with SLR cameras can become an expensive hobby. The cost of purchasing a body is nothing compared to the cost of accumulating a proper set of lenses, even if you get the cheaper brands. A good lens for you for now might be the Canon 70-200 F4L. I believe you can pick one up for ~$500. Also, an excellent forum to check out for tips and information is [url]http://photography-on-the.net[/url] Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
