Sorry I don't come here just to hang out or troll like you do.

Yeah, sorry, KmH is hardly a troll. There are few, if any, people on this board who are more helpful to newbies than he is.

I come here for C&C's and whenever I need help because I am still pretty much a beginner.

That's great. It is a beginners forum after all. But the "beginner" excuse really can't be used when it comes to basic camera operation. That's just lazy. Just out of curiosity, I downloaded the D5000 manual, and including DL time (for the 20mb file) it took me less than 2 minutes to find the answer, and I have no idea what any of the Nikon autofocus modes are called.

That's great. I'm glad you're willing to help. Although, it's a bit of a contradiction to your first couple sentences...

When they ask basic questions that are clearly answered in the manual...you know, like how different autofocus modes work.

And 2... this IS a forum. Sometimes people want to know the different techniques people do, and have a good discussion about it, not read a dry manual.

Wow, I'm sorry you don't want to read a boring manual. You know, a boring manual that in reality can be used as a reference that will clearly, and concisely give you the answer you need. Besides, there are no opinions or discussions needed when talking about a simple mode on a camera. There is ONE answer. And the answer you get from a poster won't be any more exciting than the one in the manual.

I am here to learn, and because of my love of photography. I don't come here to battle with you or anyone else who thinks they are the most fantastic photographer to ever "grace" these boards...

Then accept the fact that you should have looked at the manual, and quit posting in the thread. As long as you keep trying (and failing) to defend yourself here, the more people will respond.

I will give you one tip, and I urge you to follow it. Do your own legwork before asking a question, especially if it's a straight forward answer. If you truly can't find the answer, go ahead and use the forum. If you want an opinion, critique, etc, go ahead and use the forum. I know, this is the age of entitlement, where the people who don't want to do the boring work, hang off the coattails of those that already did, or are doing the legwork. If you want to become a great photographer, you really should be doing your own research. Asking people for help on simple things is a crutch, and you won't learn nearly as quickly, or as well.

LOL @ you telling telling me what I should do, and not do, and what I should ask and not ask in a forum.... LOLOL
LOL @ you wasting your time picking apart my comments and responding to them like you personally know what I did/do or didn't/don't do.

I know i'm not the best, but I know i'm good I know there's ALWAYS room for improvement. Right now i'm just learning as I go... picking up new things every day. why? because im open to it, and open critiques... or else I wouldn't be here

 

[SabrinaO]

Actually, you're proving my point with this reply. I was a bit snarky, I admit, but I was trying to help you out. I was giving you advice on how not to piss people off. I was giving you advice on forum etiquette. Since that's obviously gone over your head (or maybe in one ear, and out the other, if you know what I mean) I simply won't try to help anymore. Now, I know if I see a thread by SabrinaO, I'll skip right over it. I know I'm not the only one. I might stick with this thread for a while longer though, it's getting fun.

I could never possibly do that.
