Most of the shots I have been taking are on the boat so I have to use sports mode with others I use mountain mode.

Alaska Pictures - dark cloudy conditions/moving

I took these pictures of the Juneau, Alaska bay we have been entering to get to port with my Nikon D40x. Conditions were heavily cloudy and our boat is constantly moving at around 10 kts so I finally figured out my best option was the "sports" position using the flash. I had it on manual focus. I want to learn how to take a very good picture, sharp, while a person maybe running without it blurring. This is a main goal. If you use an image please email me and link my blog to your website. Thank you.

the beginning to enlightment using the Nikon D40x

2007-12-25T04:53:00.000-08:00

So I'm really journaling all the knowledge I'm learning about my new Nikon D40x digital camera. I just recently bought it about only five days ago in a Victoria, B.C. Canada camera store. I'm pysched, speechless, and already searching on the internet to improve my use.

So far this is what I have come up with:

Nikon's D40x homepage for technical questions

Photo.Net Nikon D40x Lense & Optices Forum discussion board

Nikon D40x 10.5mm add on fisheye's and other photo discussion

Website of photo's taken by 10.5mm nikon fisheye

I will keep adding on websites relevant to the Nikon D40x and journal about my own experiences using, uploading photos, and blog posts and website that might help you learn more.
