Don’t give up, if you’re motivated enough that you’ll post in a forum in an attempt to learn, you’ll get it eventually. It’s good to see you’re at least trying to use your DSLR as a DSLR rather than a big point and shoot camera.
Lately I’ve seen all kinds of people dump piles of cash on DSLR cameras and expect that just because it’s big and expensive it will make stunning photographs a given. A guy I work with spent a few grand on DSLR gear and a few weeks later came to me bitching about how his camera is a piece of s&*t that won’t take good pictures, blah blah blah. I asked him to bring his camera into work so I could see it and within 30 seconds I determined it was set up to focus on the left most focus point, so any time he tried to focus on something in the center of his frame he was getting blurry shots. It’s not my place to judge where people spend their money, but I was a bit dumbfounded that he would spend thousands of dollars on the gear and not be able to figure this out on his own, after a few weeks of ownership. Perfect example of somebody who got duped by a salesman and should have just bought a $200 point and shoot camera.
