RTM!
Read the manual.
How many photographers have read their users manual when purchasing that shiny new camera? I know I didn’t, not at first. I wanted to learn everything through use. Now I keep my manual in my backpack and refer to it as my cambible.
Todays second day of Photographic Inspirations once again comes from Photopreneur
2. Read the Manual
It’s not just Photoshop that can do all sorts of things that you don’t know about. Your camera probably has more settings and functions than you know… or know what to do with. You might find a lot of new ideas in the middle of your camera manual.
The following picture is totally OOC (out of camera). From reading my manual I was able to start taking pictures that turned out perfect totally OOC with absolutely no need for post processing, aka, no photoshop at all!

(ack, lime green's hard on the eyes!) Never ceases to amaze the number of people who cameras who've never read the manual; makes no sense to me
Ooooh ouch, lime green bad with pink vox! lol sorry Waterbaby, I have been crossposting to Vox from my website and well the lime green was very pretty on the black site hehe. But now the site is pink so hopefully the chocolate brown will be easier on the eyes
And about the manual…. yeah it is amazing. Even after holding a camera my whole life and taking classes for photography, I just didn't think that reading the little manual that came with it would be worth the time. I was wrong. There is always some little tid bit that you end up saying "OMG I would have never known that!" if not for reading the freakin manual! lol!!!
No, no, it's not the pink, it's the lime green on white … like starin' at the sun!
