Play around with your new camera

For a 30th birthday present to myself earlier in the year. I decided to buy a new camera. A digital SLR to be precise. It is something I have always wanted and after playing with many Tourists' cameras over the last few months and seeing their awesome photos, I finally took the plunge and purchased my own. Now I had and still really have no idea how to use this camera. I have turned to a couple of friends for some help and their advice has just been to play around with the settings until I like what I see. Seemed simple enough.

So here are a few of my favourite photos from my new camera. Enjoy!

    I really like the Sacred Coeur shot - a great angle and you got a nice blue sky! The roofs at Riomaggiore are my other favourite. Oh, and the boats too!

    I like your pics! I got a digital SLR earlier this year and have played around off and on to get to know it better. I found this website http://improvephotography.com/category/beginning-photography-tips/ (on pinterest i think) and got hooked learning about the beginner stuff. i still don't understand all the lingo, but it got me past the basic settings!
