Might be fun to pick one idea every two weeks or so and have a photo posting for that. Such as the freezing the action picture....everyone has two weeks to post a picture like that (settings they used) and compare notes.

Tim-- I like your idea and would be willing to participate or even set it up.

Do it. I would participate.

Feel a small bit of guilt for having an idea and not having the knowledge to set it up. If you are willing......yaeh-am-not-durnk.png

Cocry , Dont know your experience level with DSLR but here is what I did.. Our Comm College has 4 hour weekend non credit classes on DSLR and even some 2 hour evening classes dedicated to digital photography. Teaches you in actual practice how to use each setting.. I am finishing up my 3rd class soon & can't tell you the mass improvemnet of my photos.. AND I had alot of fun in class too !

Not to distract from fishing- but you will find that bringing that camera along with you when your on the boat can have some big rewards..

Disclaimer: I use a cheaper digital point & shoot for my fish pics as I wouldn't want fish slime on my big Nikon.. AND in the right hands some newer point & shoot -ike my Olympus rivals some 35mm DSLRs..

I have the D5000 . (maybe yours is similar) the P (program mode -different than Auto) will let you over ride the exposure which is very easy to do once you read how (or watch a youtube video). The rest the camera will take care of the rest of the settings. This was the FIRST thing we learned in class & that helped my pics well beyond the Auto mode. I bought a DVD for my specidic camera model- I watch it alot for reference.

I wish I could have gone back & reshot the thousands of pics I took in Auto.. Ther are ok, but lack in "pop" ...

Good luck & have fun- have a thick skin for critque- we all keep on learning.. Looking fwd to your pics.
