    Congratulations NM, very good choice
    I like the images
    Also I like that you are not use the program Auto in the camera
    Are you going to shoot in NEF? I hope that it is the case.
    You will have heaps of more control and be able to correct many images that will be impossible to rescue them if they are on jpg.
    Now get Nikon Capture NX2, it have the advanyage over Adobe Camera Raw that reads the setting on the camera.
    The colors are perfect and you will never look back
    ACR discard them.
    After do the necessary adjustments witn NX then save the image in tiff and if you wish work on Photoshop

    If you have Photoshop just try the follow:
    Open your first image go to Adjustments/Curves and select linear contrast.
    Use the default settings and click Ok. You will see a very good improvement.
    Another tip is after working on Adobe RGB always save the images in sRGB profile for the web, The colors have more punch

    It will be in the shooting menu settings.

    Go to Nikon Support - D80 Manual and download the PDF version so you can search for things.

    Also I'd recommend getting either the Peter Inova or Thom Hogan eBook and work through it. The Inova is probably less technical but both are very good.


    Hay - Nice shots!

    Does not say default settings, what I try to say is that when you select "lienar contrast, Photoshop have a deafult setting (there is a curve already which is the default) and you just use it without change.
    Sorry about my spanglish

    Both eBooks I mentioned are DVD's. I take it you mean the video based tutorials. I haven't used or looked at any of them.

    yep, videos.. have read the books and watched the videos... the best places to learn things are on photographers blogs, then go and practice, nothing beats pressing the shutter button !!

    Couldn't agree more. I found the eBooks extremely useful in helping me understand what I needed to, but in the end its the practice that is essential to learning the camera and the controls.

    NM I hate eBooks too! The beauty of the digital photography ones though is that they provide you with real examples of shots and can give you roll over image changes to see what the differences can be before you actually use the camera so you can see how it should act. The Inova D200 guide was the first eBook I ever actually fully managed to read and I was very impressed by it.

    I learned photoshop from Digital Camera Monthly Magazine. The CD each month includes step by step video instructions and the before and after images. I found it easy to follow it.

    The best thing is I have a laptop to play the video on and the desktop to edit my image with at the same time, that way I can see both at the same time.

    Cheers, Steve
