| Camera tips on nikon slr's? Does anyone have tips on using an nikon slr camera at wdw? I bought my first one a month ago and am practicing with it. I love it but needs tips on taking photos at night? Over the 4th I was able to capture some fireworks but my camera wouldn't take them quick enough. Not sure if I am doing something wrong. I have the nikon d40. |

| I haven't been to WDW since I got my Nikon D40 - but I'm anxiously waiting to use it in November! My DH just bought the D40/D40x Digital Field Guide book and I've been reading through it. It has sections on how to shoot fireworks, low light/no light situation (hmmm, rides!), etc. I have lots to learn before November. But this might be a place you can find all of your answers too!

| Where did you get that guidebook? I might have to check into it. I shot pictures over the 4th and some of them came out, but my shutter release was really slow. I need to work with the settings I think. The book that comes with the camera doens't go that much into depth with it. |

| We ordered from amazon. It seems to take you step by step through all of the settings. I just need to sit and read it with my camera in hand - the visual learner in me!

| If you need help... please feel free to PM me and we'll talk over e-mail off the board. I shoot all Nikon and can help you with some of your questions that are specific to your camera. A lot of what you posted here is less camera specific though and more general photography knowledge type of questions. But I can help you with the general concepts specific to your individual camera.
