So, I've picked up David Busch's Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography, a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor 35mm/1.8g lens. After about the second chapter, the book lost me.
I'm new to DSLR photography and photography in general. I've done a little research via google about ISO, aperature, shutter speed, etc. and have a very minimal understanding of it all.
As of right now, I could use help with my lightbox and getting the best possible settings with my D7000. I understand that ISO should be as low as possible for the least amount of noise. I'm sure I could use a tripod, but I like to get in there and take pictures at odd angles. I like to set my products apart with unique photos (ebay) and a tripod limits what I can do.
How should I go about this? I take pictures of vintage metal razors primarily.
Does anyone have any good reading material / complete idiots guide to DSLR photography that I can read online somewhere? Maybe tutorials on different camera settings that produce cool effects?
