Got my wife this camera for a graduation present

Your post changed like magic. :) Thanks for the suggestions Scrum.

Yeah, I posted my message without reading carefully and realizing you bought a camera already. :)

The secret to photography is light. You've got to understand how to use it. The first step is understanding the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO. That's what the book Understanding Exposure will teach her.

She already has it and loves it. She is kind of big into photography but never had a camera like this, so her passion for it will probably increase now.

Just curious of any pointers for someone learning how to use the camera in the image I attached.

Get her three things


1. A book called Understanding Exposure.

2. A copy of Light room.

3. A book on how to use Lightroom.

Then, its practice.

Oh yeah, get her a good flash. A 430 EXii costs less than 200 used, probably 250 new. It's an absolute must for indoor photography.

Beast or scrum are the people to ask.

Any quick tips for her?
