Hi Bill
After trying to read the manual that came with my Canon 5D and ruining
some layout shots at a BASS meeting, I bought a training CD from Blue
Crane Digital from a camera shop. It was much better explaining the
camera functions that parts of the book. They have specific CDs for
the different cameras. Lighting can be a bear when you can't be sure
of the shot so try to learn bracketing. This helped when riding the
rails recently in and out of different light.
I agree with Bob that sometimes I miss my old Nikons. I had to keep
two cameras with my though, one for color and one for black and
white. Now with digital, you get both in one so I can decide if train
looks better in color or black and white on the computer.
