    I used to have a small photography business (portraits). :) I gave it up to focus on my son, and because most photographers in my area charge way too little to compete with (but that's another story lol).

    I shoot with a Nikon D700, but shot Canon for a while too.

    I'm surprised there isn't a board on here dedicated to photography. Do we just post in this thread?

    Probably so thick I wont be able to understand them lol My dad had to teach me how to do an indoor shot the other day. There are still functions I didnt know existed on my camera. I want to take more pics with blurred back grounds.

    A good lens for that is 50mm 1.8.
    If you learn about using aperture priority mode too you can control how much is in focus etc a lot better than auto modes. :thumbup:

    The Internet is a great teacher! I also highly recommend the 'for dummies' books - I keep mine close when figuring out something new with the camera. They do one tailored to most makes/models.

    I hate suggesting the "for dummies" books in case people get offended :dohh:, but I swear by mine. Plain English explanations of just about everything you could want to know. Perfect!

    I completely agree.... the 50mm 1.8 is great and only just over $100!

    The shallow depth of field really makes portraits pop!

    I use my 50mm all the time, especially in the studio! We should have a theme, maybe we could have a competition type thing, so the first week could be open theme, then we all vote, and the winner of that chooses the next theme!?
