I'm new to photography and still trying to get to grips with my Fujifilm S5800 camera that I've had for a while but only ever just used Auto mode. Ive just bought Digital Photography for Dummies book to try and get my head round using aperature,exposure etc. I love being outdoors be it Walking,cycling or occasionally fishing. I run two blogs for my walks and cycle adventures where I upload all my photos.But then I stumbled across this site and the pictures on here blew me away! So I'm hoping by reading the book and the forum I can improve and start some better pictures.
