Hello Folks around the world.

I have spent the last few years as a visitor enjoying this fantastic site immensely and wanted to get into this hobby/passion myself. I knew nothing about photography and made the mistake of buying a point and shoot thinking it would cut the grade, but alas no. I'll keep it for parties.

I am now the proud owner of a 300D, and begging she who must be obeyed to buy a suitable zoom lens. I do however, have access to loan some lenses in the short term.

I have searched for info in the forums but couldn't find anything with the complete picture (pardon the pun) but would anyone know of a great internet site that will teach me all the facets of DSLR photography. I mean I'm talking the lot, that would be best suited for our type of photography.

I have realised that that the full auto or preset modes on the camera will not achieve the standard in aviation photography I desire and I will need to go manual and make all the settings myself. I just require the knowledge to make informed decisions on these settings.

I would really appreciate some help with this to avert too much more bumbling around.

Kind Regards To All.

Chris
