New camera goodness!
Good luck with the new camera

As for this Cult of Lightspeed - eh I'd rather join the Foamy Squirrel Cult - but if you're going to go all cult like Groups - Photography Forum & Digital Photography Forum you can always use the groups

Hit up Lynda.com, there are a couple videos dedicated to the D3100. Should be able to search around and find a week, or few day trial membership, or just pony up a months dues and take advantage of the hundreds of videos they have.

Just throw my name in there for the mentors list.
If I'm good enough to be ousted from posting images in the beginners forum, I'm damn well good enough to teach someone else how.
And THAT is my resume.
If anyone disagrees with that, well then, I should be UN- OUSTED.
As to cults? Most of us know where the cult is here at the photo forum, and it AINT the LightSpeed cult.
hahahaha

LMAO
Found here. The LightSpeed Beginners forum - Photography Forum & Digital Photography Forum

I leave for nine days, and come back, and you have a d-slr??? What??

Awesome! Enjoy the new Nikon.

I swear I opened a thread on Angel getting her new toy... how the heck did we go from such a joyous occasion to a unrelated Light show?...

Not a bad start. A tip though for your pop up on camera flash for a cheap diffuser to help those shadows is to take a white styrafome cup or a coffee filter and put over your flash. Vwala instant diffuser and costs nothing. Happy shooting.

Yes kick Lightspeed out of beginner forum

Click to expand...

That already pretty much happened.
So now I'm on a quest to create 10 me's.

I'd be HAPPY to be a "mini-you," LightSpeed! Well...a female version, anyway. :lol:

You shoot a lot of the same things I want to do, only yours are Light Years better.
