Introducing my Nikon D40

January 23rd, 2008

So it is with great pride I bring you this post in the category of science, and the newly created category of Nikon D40.
I say pride, for the technology that allows me with no previous Digital SLR experience to snap happy, in the many auto modes, or dabble with the settings in various programmable modes blows me away.

Just take a look at the beast.

I have had the camera since Christmas, taken loads of indoor, and garden snaps, trying out the auto settings to learn how the camera reacts to conditions when it chooses it’s own shutter speed, aperture size etc.
Still haven’t got my head around the interaction between aperture and shutter speed, but slowly I think an understanding is developing as I become more familiar with the controls menus and settings. Looking forward to better weather conditions and getting out and about to see what our combined efforts can achieve.

I plan to do a series of posts charting my progress, a list of useful resources as I find them and feature pics if I take any goodies.
I have often been frustrated in the past when viewing a scene with my eyes and not having the hardware to capture that image. With luck and practice, constant flipping through the manual I hope to get there.
