    As far as the lens, i have the Nikor 18-55mm lens. Here are some pictures, like i said, i have a long way to go. I didnt have a tripod for any of the night/dusk ones, so i was limited to what i could do.

    Fire Hydrant, i know i cut the top off, but didnt know it till i got home, still needs cropping and enhancing


    Construction Site


    Some cars at my condo


    Working on the panning shots, not bad for night time and hanging over a fence.




    Thats it for now. I have a lot of work to do, but I will get there.

    No we own a condo in Destin Fl. The guy who owns basically all the liquor stores in NW FL lives at our condos, he likes to flaunt his money.

    ah gotcha

    quick question, when a lense says f4-5.6, is it telling you the maximum aperture is f4? or what exactly is that telling you?

    yes i believe so, but it seems like we are in the same boat, i still dont know what everything means. I am hoping to take some classes to get the best out of the camera.

    ahhh, thank you. so is there some point in the middle where it switches over? or does it gradually move the aperture minimum over the entire spectrum of 15-150?
