Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

I am a total neophyte, with respect to anything beyond POINT AND SHOOT. I am very tech savvy and build computers and write programs for them, but when it comes to photography, I am a moron. But I guess I have good taste when it comes to cameras. Anyway, I just got my 350D with the EF 18-55 lens, and so far so good, but one major disappointment, I did not know that I can't use the LCD screen as a viewfinder, but I can get over that. What I am hoping some of you nice people would help me out with, is any tricks, tips and other useful info for a moron like me.

Also, I am going to an indoor dinner party tonight and I am very excited to use my new camera. I expect the light conditions to be somewhat dim. What is the best setup to use in that situation? Should I just auto? I'd rather get the best possible shot, even if it's complicated. I am a quick learner, so feel free to fire the tough stuff at me.


Your help, suggestion, ideas and welcome is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
