Hi all, just got a D3100 and looking forward to digital slr live.

I have used 35mm slrs extensively, and must confess I used Canons!!!!!!!

Anyway I haven't had an slr for about ten years, lots of advances lots of questions hoping for lots of advice, speak to you all soon

Thanks

Hi cab, and once again welcome.

You have a crooked spire I keep meaning to photograph and never have the time! Last time I passed it was in a sunset but I was in a rush to get somewhere so I just admired it as I passed by.

Don't worry about Canons several here use them and any other make too. What counts is photography. Fire away with any questions, you are sure of a response, and don't hold back if you think it's basic, they can be the most important.

I have a D3100 myself, what lens do you have on it?

thanks all, I am looking forward to many hours of entertainment, learning to use it. It came with a 18-55 lens and taking it out of the box was shocked to see very little markings on the lens!! My first thought was, HOW DO I WORKOUT HYPERFOCAL DISTANCE? lucky for me I picked up a July edition of Amateur Photographer which had a feature on it. I have bought a 55-200 zoom off Ebay, just waiting for it to arrive.

have had a helping hand already reading about VR and filters all very helpful advice, thanks again

I think it's here, haven't read it all yet but it's definitely hyperfocal.
