Today was the first day that I have shot 100% manual with my D80... I had a lot of photos that didnt turn out... and I had a few that did. I couldn't be happier because I MADE these photos... not the camera. Anyhow... I just had to share.

Im on top of the world :jump:

Kevin, it's excellent. You might want to post it over in the Flora forum for more feedback.

Congrats on your milestone, Kevin. You can also make your camera do what you want it to using Av (aperture priority) or Tv (shutter priority), with a bit of exposure compensation.

Nice picture.

Thanks,

Cant post in flora yet.... I have another shot that I took over there already. As to the Av.... I tried on a couple of shots but they were all washed out... I wanted a base line to see what I could do vs. what the camera would do.

I cant give John Shaw's books enough praise.... Im learning so much from them and then experimenting with my camera at the same time.
