i like this chat thread idea
i also have questions (noob to dslr's)
what settings in M-mode do you shoot:
1) very sunny days
2) cloudy days
3) nights
i ask this because i find myself shooting the first pic in auto to see what the cam selects for settings and then i tweak them a bit on M-mode.
ill appreciate all your guys' help, and im really hungry to learn more.
