I have just acquired my first DSLR camera (late October 2013) and am eager to learn how to use it!

Manuals? Ugh. I really ought to read them, but for now, I am just playing around to see what I can figure out on my own.

Any tips are always welcome!

If you share your photos publicly, thank you! I take a lot of inspiration from the photographic art of others.

I have created several galleries of photos that inspire, amuse, and/or awe me. I hope you'll take the time to check them out and move on to check out these artists' photostreams. You're in for a treat!
