My question is this really the same as B (I heart B).... what do you use the manual settings on the top for? Do they make a huge difference over the auto's??? And I know you like Lighthouse, where'd you get it????? ignore Bambi she’s forgotten her medication again!

Will you still like me? Also, I need to know how you decide when to do a super close up and when to get the whole shot. I need your eye. I might come at you with a spoon (not an axe). Is that scary? Sorry. I need wine. Or a nap. Or a snack. Maybe just wine. And damn it all to hell why wont my gravatar work? It's G rated. I hate this thing. Why are you torturing me??? I have to use Hubs’ Cannon.

ISO i have down and it's not that. it's something to do with that little square with the +/- symbol on it (i'm sure that's the technical term for it - ha!) and the little dial-y things. problem is i never know which direction to go.

You'll be a great teacher and I hope you make this a regular feature. My question: I want to start playing with the different manual settings in my camera (A, M, S, P) but I'm not sure when to use which. Thanks! I’m really looking forward to this!

But something I'd really love to know is how you manage to turn out such beautiful shots with such frequency with not one but two small boys to contend with. How on earth do you juggle all that kit while wrangling them? I'm also in awe of your time-management if ever you fancy passing on any advice about that...

And all I have is a Canon point and shoot powershot thing. Am I beyond hope?

Brilliant idea this posting camera ideas! I love my Nikon D60 but have had so little practice with settings and lenses. The manual is so boring...learning from you will be a blast!
