Found CIC whilst looking for some tips for taking some nice shots with my new Bridge Camera (Samsung 5500). Hopefully when I learn something about aperture, shutter speeds and iso settings to get myself started I'll make some progress, which shouldn't be hard as I am a utter novice. But I can't expect to run before I walk so any tips or tricks would be very welcome indeed.So I'm ready to get started. Cheers Colin.

Hello Colin. You're very welcome.

You've found the right place to help you get up the learning curve. As well as the tutorials, please do fire in any questions that come into your head. There's no such thing as a dumb question on CiC.

I can't, Colin. That would make us Nikonistas envious of that. Originally Posted by Colin Southern

Nikonista's are always envious of "the other side" anyway, we just kinda get used to it and try not to let it go to our heads! Originally Posted by jiro

Re: Hi I'm Colin.
Hi Colin, Mark, or whoever you are
. If I call you, it'll probably be pretty early in the morning, as I'm just a jump across the ditch from you. But I can always set my clock for a good, long, kiwi lie-in, so you're probably pretty safe.
Oh, and welcome!!
