I took a Photography class back in my high school years and learned to develop; which is useless unless you have all that equipment and a dark room, which I don't. I don't remember what 'f', shutter speed, aperture, etc, mean and I am wondering if anyone knows of a good DVD that I could order/rent/view that will teach me a little about this things.

I just purchased a Nikon D80 and even though the AUTO button works great, I am pretty sure I can get more out of my camera by manually adjusting most of the settings.

Sorry to sound newbie, but I feel that way.

There is a free photo course on the web. If you do not want to enroll, you can just read the lessons. I read a few of the lessons. They are as good or better than some books.

LMAO :D I know. It's just much faster to look at a DVD and learn than to read. It takes too long to read and I want to play!!
