Thanks, I'll fool around with all this tomorrow in my backyard, appreciate the help. I've been trying to watch youtube videos to learn this stuff but I'm getting a real bad headache lol.
| Use mainstream photo sites. https://luminous-l...anding-histograms/http://m.dpreview.com/http://www.canon.c...ints_and_tips_eos/Lense blur charts to find the sharpest aperture setting for your lense. http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/index.phpIt can be complicated but it gets more fun as you learn more and progress. There's also WB cal, monitor cal, cam metering mod... practice first with the basics of developing an eye for good shots and getting the exposure right. What looks good to your eyes will not always look good as a image. Start with the basics of learning how to shoot with no tripod. It's actually hard at first especially without an IS lense/cam. Heavier cams/lens are easier to free shoot with; more inertia. Just like shooting a gun how you hold the cam, your position, breathing, and smooth shutter release are needed. Brace yourself on a wall, pole, etc. or better yet brace the cam (use a bush towel) on anything that's the right height. Otherwise take a wide stance, one foot slightly forward of the other, elbows in, take a breathe and hold it or slowly exhale before releasing the shutter. A smooth shutter release is imperative. If you think there's shake there probably is; take a breathe and shoot it again. Unfortunately cam shake is usually found only after the shoot. Too many who shoot will tripods don't get the ideal shooting height. Constantly shooting at eye level is a bore. You can't street or action shoot effectively in many cases with a tripod. Shooting with one where it's not needed waste time and energy. Tripods are useful for low light and repeat shots like for HDRs. Once you find a good subject, you need to be artistic and decide on the best shooting position, focal point, the 2/3rds rule, placing lines close to the corners, etc. This you need to read up on. Unless shooting for effect generally you want to square off your shots. This takes practice but once you understand the concept it's not so hard. The cam is square to it's subject. Not angled up or down, not pointing more left than right. The height of the cam is the height of the whatever the center of the lense is pointed at. Harder to do on uneven terrain but easy in a room. Of coarse sometimes you will be shooting an angle to the subject: at least try to square up one side and get the cam height correct.

| There's a lot more to it than I ever thought, still haven't even dived into lightroom or photoshop, or making videos. Thanks for the tips guys!
