Took the plunge and brought a DSLR

[foadbear]

Finally, took the plunge and brought a DSLR.

Nikon D5300.

Plan is to click most of Lucknow before New Year.

Read most of the threads here and I must say, peepal are quite experienced.

Is there any beginners course in photography that anyone can recommend here?

Free of course, pocket still burning from the plunge

Congrats for Nikon D5300 !

Read Manual first casually.
Start experimenting 1 by 1.
use Automode first specially in day time. For night use flash.
After getting comfortable experiment with few combinations.

Rest experts can tell.

Thanks, I came across your post of 25 steps to buying a camera. It was quite intuitive.

Will try to cover everything you have mentioned here.

The photographs are clicked on auto mode. I just did point, zoom and shoot. Nothing else.

He will be the subject of most my photographs.

He probably got bored of the photo-shoot.
