Got new camera...

Just picked up a Canon SX110 IS today. I'm looking for some good websites that will teach me the ins and outs of digital photography.

I remember someone posting it here before but cant seem to locate it.

There are the Canon forums. You can do a lot of learning there!

Are you looking for instruction on your camera or just composition in general?

composition. i just got through reading the manual, so now i would like to know some advanced techniques.

I have learned a lot about photography on this site.

Cool, thanks for the link. Checking it out now.

There's an excellent book by Bryan Peterson. I believe it's called Learning to See Creatively. You can buy a used copy for a few bux...it's worth its weight in gold.

Nice camera. My Canon 400D EOS is a bit old now, but I'm still learning how to use it properly

There is a wonderful book for beginners - "Digital Photography Book" by Scott Kelby

Bryan Peterson's books are VERY helpful... especially Understanding Exposure and Understanding Shutter Speed.

Nice link I love POTN, it's where I learned pretty much everything.

Here's another great site KenRockwell.com This guy knows his stuff pretty darn well.

(OP)-If I get a chance in the next few days i'll pm you all the info I can find that really got me off on the right foot. Basically once you learn about your 3 major factors (Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO) you will really excel.

Best of luck and have a blast with your new camera!

^^ thanks in advance. look forward to learning new things. i've been taking just random pictures. i had my first encounter with a rattle snake, even snapped a shot of it too. standing 3-4 feet away from it will really have your heart racing.
