Happy to help out!

When I started out there were no LCD screens, no Photoshop and limited flexibility regarding changing ISO settings. I would load a roll of 36 FUJI slides (ISO 100) and try to make every image count.

When I started out, first we discovered dirt. Then we found that if you could find a stick, and the end was sharp (no knives yet), you could scratch a picture in the dirt.

I am curious about your IQ with that kit. Also, how many fps in that mode?


50d, 70-200 2.8L IS, 24-70 2.8L, 85 1.8 USM, 17-85 IS EF-S, 50 1.8, 430EX.

"fps" in this case is Fumblings Per Season.

Somebody is supposed to say "You had STICKS? When *I* started out, we had to...."

Aloha!

...I'm new to this forum and new to taking any photos with my husband's 40D.

We have a newborn little girl and I've been taking some raw photos... nothing tricky, I'm as beginner as they come with the camera!

Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks?...

Here is an article by NYIP:
