That's pretty much the best way to go about it, yeah. There are plenty of websites around that will help you learn, check out the "photography sites" sticky thread.Did most of you simply take pictures until you learn enough about your camera?
I'd say it's time to become intimately familiar with the exposure triangle; know all of the pros and cons to each of the following: Shutter speed / Aperture / ISO. Know how tweaking one will affect the other and when/why you should prioritize one over the other two.I feel like I'm missing some really good shots due to inexperience. For example, I've made a couple trips to the city zoo, including a visit on the 4th of July. The zoo had tons of really cool stuff, like feeding a grizzly bear 5 tilapia or giving some squirrel monkeys some small piñatas. Anyways, I take my camera and try to set the correct fstop and iso and aperture, which I'm getting better at. But sometimes photos come out as really shaky and out of focus, or the focus is not on the subject that I wanted. Even trying to use manual focus, I've noticed that sometimes I focus on the wrong item (due to the viewfinder being small, not the lcd).
Any suggestions for getting better?
So question. I've recently gotten into photography. I've got a Canon DSLR Rebel XSi with a couple lenses. I'm really enjoying myself and have had a blast taking pictures, but I haven't figured out the settings yet.

I am an extreme noob but the first thing I did was google beginners guide to aperature, shutter speed, ISO and beginner photo tips. I made a little cheat sheet to keep with my camera bag to help me memorize what the settings do. From what I have seen, its best to understand your camera as soon as you can and get off of auto.So question. I've recently gotten into photography.

I like it. My tip for a beginner would be to always shoot RAW so you have more control over your final photo. Also, don't get discouraged if you take 400 shots and only 10 of them are keepers. Also, shoot in continuous mode (holding down the shutter release to take several photos of the same subject) so that when you get home, you can pick out the sharpest, most interesting one.Ive never done photography but I just made my first DSLR camera purchase, been doing some reading online about aperature, shutter speed and ISO, took my camera out for a run. It can be somewhat frustrating but I think I took a few ok shots, is this decent?

Some really nice stuff there Volume.
Thanks so much, guys The shots that look like they're from a display/exhibit are from House on the Rock in Wisconsin. Pretty cool place to visit if you're a photographer!^^ Agreed! Love pretty much all of those, Volume! Great night-shots, and several I assume were in a museum or haunted house or something... very cool looking stuff, and loads of personality in the lighting and PP. Very nice!

Thanks. Light editing, but the colors really were very vibrant to start with. There is a reason to get up before dawn! This is one I took at the same spot, same time, different angle, last summer:
very nice shots Volume. I like your editing, too. Keep up the good work. .snip
Awesome shot of a crazy looking butterfly! Where is that?Here's a few from my hiking trips this past weekend.
