Hi all! I am new to this forum and pretty new to photography. I have had my Nikon D5100 for a few years now but have never really gotten into it. Lately I have picked it back up and bought some new lenses. I have the kit lens (18-55), Tamron 70-300, and I just picked up a 35mm. I am bringing them all to Vegas with me and couldn't be more excited to see what kind of photos I will be able to take. I pulled the 35mm out of the box yesterday and started to play around with it. I noticed that when I was really close to a subject that it would try to AF and then when it couldn't I wasn't able to snap a picture. Like I said I am extremely new and especially new to play around in manual mode. I had my camera setting as follows, F1.8, ISO 2500 and shutter at 1/2000. I'm going to be completely honest and say I'm not 100% sure what these settings do or how they make the camera react. Could someone please school me or show me some literature to help me better understand. I took some nice photos of my fiance's sisters horses. I will have to post a few for everyone to view. Thanks in advanced for any help!!
