I've always thought I have the eye for photography, and my friends and people who see my pictures will tell me that from time to time. However, I feel that's only half of what I need. I am really baffled with all the technique and terms I see discussed on this forum.
I read threads about panning, HDR, aperture, shutter speed and all these weird numbers (1/40, 1/60, etc..). I feel really overwhelmed with all this and I know it will take time to learn but I want to know where to start. My question is: How can I get the basics down?? I have a brand new DSLR (Nikon D40x) and I was out in the desert the other day (in Saudi Arabia) and I couldn't capture one decent shot of my friends and I on ATV's (in terms of exposure, colors)
I am a student and live on a very tight budget and I noticed photography teaching books and lessons are costly, and I was wondering if the experienced photographers on this forum could help me as I am sure you all faced the same problem starting out.
Any advice will be much appreciated
