Just received a Nikon 3000D for Christmas. And I must say I love the SLR camera. I was use to point and shot and have some pretty good shots but nothing compares. Would any of you experts have any advice for me to get started? Here is the first picture I snapped on NYE.

Any of you guys in this post live in Los Angeles/Hollywood? A lot of the pics in this thread are outstanding
I need a couple for a project I'm working on, and I don't own any cameras like you guys have

Shot with a D60 35mm f/1.8... looking for a D7000 upgrade. I hear it is ridiculous(ly) good in low light.

uh oh, I read this some where beforei'm at a roadblock now..
but anything is BETTER than what I have now.........what makes the cannon T2i better?
I still might roll with the nikon 3100...i really think they are a good camera company.
I have that D3100, got it for Christmas. Only reason why we got that instead of the T21 is because the D3100 came with 2 lenses and a bag.
It's nice though, I'm still trying to get the hang of it. All I'm really doing now is point and shoot.
upload some pics you've took when you get time.

Adobe Lightroom is the best free program on the net.
Didn't know the exact name of what this was, but they do it the first of every year. I called it "The Wishing Wall" you write your wish for the year on a posted note.

Could anyone help me out here? I'm using a Nikon D3100.
I read somewhere that in some situations that it's better to not use flash. When I do that the picture comes out a bit dark
What could I do to improve it? Here's just a photo of my new HSF, I was shocked at how big it is

Hey guys, so i've had my Nikon D7000 for about 3 weeks now and am very happy with my purchase. The other camera i was looking at before buying this Nikon was the Canon 60d.
I have not invested in lenses in either brand, only have the D7000's kit 18-105 lens and am borrowing someone's 50 1.8 lens so that isn't a problem.
What I'm pretty much asking for here is if i made the right choice in choosing the D7000? I mostly shoot stills but [might] look into getting more into video. I was wondering if in your guys' opinion i made the right choice in choosing the D7000 or if I should get the 60d instead. I have a month if i want to return the camera so i have about a week to do so if i make the choice. Do you guys thing the 60D is a better camera than the D7000? Thanks in advance.

In your opinion do you think the Canon 60D is an overall better camera than the Nikon D7000?

Alright everyone, i know this is the best place to ask, I have been shooting for quiet sometime now,
but ive always shot trial and error and i know what im doing,
but really cannot explain it that well
now ive been asked to teach an autistic kid,
so i need actual terms and things like that,
are there any good beginer books that give you basically an overview on shooting with DSLR's maybe something with pictures and tutorials stuff? maybe even something on pshop too.
thanks in advance. any help is greatly appreciated, i want to be able to help this kid out as much as possible since its something in his interest
dslr's for dummies lol
btw i shoot with a canon t2i right now
and a quick shot i messed around with earlier today

The video on the D7000 isn't horrible and the only thing you really can't do is slo-mo shots due to the framerate being lower then the canon. But if you are doing simple edits and putting them up on youtube, the D7000 should be good. Just like shooting photos, it all depends on how you shoot the video that makes an interesting shot. And I just don't think the 60D would have been any better. If there is an upgrade that you are looking for that would be better then the D7000, then it is the Canon 7D.

Get the Nikon Nikon 50 mm - f/1.8 D-AF - Nikon F. Cheapest lens with decent bokeh but it's narrow as hell. If you have the money, you can get the Nikon 35mm 1.8G but I find that the bokeh is not as good. All up to you though.
Speaking of video, my friend did this edit with the Canon Mark2 and some dollies and steady cam gear:
