Firstly, let me introduce myself. I'm super amateur in photography. Had the camera 6 months ago, all along using auto mode. No flash, no wide angle/macro lens, nothing at all! Just the basic kit. About a month ago, i read up on whats aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, depth of focus, basically the science of photography. Finally decided to venture into night photography first, then flash photography, and maybe macro shots.
I only have a D60 with its kit, thus it explains why I venture into night photography. Interesting though, what the Manual can do instead of Auto.
