#34421 Hi From The SF Bay Area

Posted by daveward on 11 November 2015 - 02:28 PM

Hi everyone.  I'm a San Francisco Bay Area native.  I am new to photography in this sense:  I just acquired a used but pristine D90...thus I am trying my hardest to move my brain into the digital age.  My prior experience was in the 80's with a Mamiya Sekor 500 tl.  Since then, family and work moved photography waaaaay down the list of priorities.

 

I describe the D90 as a computer that takes pictures....and like my experiences with computers...they are not intuitive to my way of thinking.  But, as I suggest, I am willing and eager to learn/move the process ahead.

 

Just so you understand my dilemma:  Up til I acquired the D90 I din't have a computerized camera nor a smart phone.  All my phone does is let me make/take calls.  That's all I need.  Yes...one day  I will get a smart phone so that I can squash my nose in the viewer and be like others...I'm really hoping I can receive all my emails right there on my phone.  (Not really).

 

I will likely be asking a bunch of newbie questions.  Thanks in Advance for everyone's assistance!
