Welcome to the wonderful world of Nikon D70. :) I had the same reaction when I first started taking pics with my D70.

I currently borrow (on some weekends) a Nikon D70 from where I work. Sadly i'm nowhere near being able to afford to buy my own.. nor am I anywhere near skilled enough to understand all the techniques required to get the best out of it! But it is a phenominal camera and it does take spectacular photo's.. but i've found my friends Canon EOS 300D to be equally impressive.. and thats quite a lot cheaper!

Does anyone have any links to a good online guide to help me out with exposure times and all the other stuff on the D70 to help me get the most out of it? I feel like I have in my hands a 50 function swiss army knife, but am currently only able to get out the toothpick.

Well I had a Coolpix 5400 before getting a D70 so I knew some minor little manual settings here and there. I never really got too much into it until I got the D70. I learned almost everything I know about cameras just by playing around with it and experimenting. Dont be afraid to experiment. Its a digital camera, you waste no money by playing around with it. There are times I needed to search online though for some answers. Use google for questions like what apeture is, and what ISO levels are. Theres tons of sites out there that if you put them all together, you get a lot of knowledge of how things work.

Yeah, experimentation helps. Also, getting your hands on an all manual camera, if possible (I had an old Nikon FG for a while) teaches you a lot about what needs to be set where to achieve a specific effect, as well as how to work exposure times and f-stops/aperature settings. If not, hit up Google and try to find some articles.

Here are some shots from my garden, they may not be very interesting to some people but i like them, and they have been helping me get the hang of my camera.

Please comment if you have any tips or anything to say really, except 'choose something other than plants to photo'. Thanks alot.

:D

MMike6: You should photoshop out the lamp post in the pic of the victoria building, it's a very nice shot.

Strange time to read this thread considering i've just been doing that very thing in Photoshop.

All I do is select around everything I don't want to be in colour using the selection tool in Photoshop, and then just desaturate those areas. Job done.

Quick example:

its actually quite easy with photoshop, just switch to CMYK image mode (IMPORTANT!!), then select whatever you want to color (i use the polygonal lasso tool), make it a quickmask and apply a very light gaussian blur to smooth your edges a bit, then un-quickmask it.  then go image>adjustment>curves and modify the line to create the color you want.

quite simple, just save each of your selections so you can go back and change the color again if you dislike it later

wow you both do alot of work for that.

Thanks.

Yours is nice but if you use a slower shutter maybe it would be more dramatic? But heck, what do i know. :D
