***Photo Tech: Techniques and Important Information***
+1, I've used his settings for a long time. I think they key to reading his site is common sense. It seems like he interjects sensational and outrageous sentences and paragraphs just to draw attention. His site gets a lot of traffic, and I think it's because of the outlandish claims he makes.
I need to look over my D200 settings again and compare them with his.
Here's a site with some humorous lines about Ken Rockwell. Here's an example:
"Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker."

First Off, I'd like to give props to budakinns for posting all of the Basic Composition for Photography information on the front of this stickied post.
Very informative to me so-far!!!
I do have one question for all of you..... that I haven't been able to find yet in this Sub-forum.
What Kind/brand of 52mm lens Filters should I keep an eye out for?
Is there a difference or preference on what all of you are using?
I hear Hoya is a good brand to use, Is this true?
Thanx

What sorta filters are you looking for specifically? For the most part, buy a circular polarizer and don't bother with any others. Tiffen and Hoya are generally accepted to be good.

I'm looking for 1 UV & 1 Polarized filter to purchase right now, Then I'm flirting with the idea of buying a 5pce. set of Colored Lenses in the future.
All color filters can be replicated in photoshop very easily, and it's way more convenient than screwing on/off filters. Color filters are remnants from the film era IMO, if you're shooting digital then you're wasting your time.
Also, stacking filters can introduce ghosting and flare. If you're using a UV filter for "protection" then you're not aware of how hard and scratch resistant modern lens glass is. Keep your lens caps on when the lenses aren't in use and don't worry about it.
All that being said, opinions vary around here. Someone's gonna chime in and say I'm wrong.

so basically from what i have read shutter speed has to do with lighting and not just how fast and slow the shutter closes? correct?

Hope that answers your question. Wikipedia has a decent article about Shutter speed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

oh ok i understand now. so its how long the shutter stays open for the amount of exposure desired.
so say like for a rolling shot with panning it will help get that blurred background affect but keeping the image of the car sharp.
