I'm Tiffany from Phoenix, where the daytime temps this time of year are, oh, about 110.
A couple of years ago I bought my husband a Nikon D5000 DSLR but since then he's used it mostly as a point-and-shoot, so this year I decided to learn how it's supposed to work before our summer vacation. I am a complete newbie with basic knowledge of "the big three" so I'm hoping the forum can help me develop into a more polished hobbyist photographer.
BTW--my father was, for a while, a successful professional photographer (1970's, film). When we got this one, I'd never used an SLR. I took it to him and said "show me how to use this". He looked at me like I had three heads. LOL! Little did I know then just how complex photography can be!!!
I'm especially interested in going beyond the standard lens and learning to use macro and tele lenses, as well as tips on buying them.
