I could, but that would require me to actually DO something......and that's just not going to happen.

Can any of you photogs recommend a photography book? I have a D5000 and am mediocre at shooting with it. SOmeone mentioned the Magic Lantern books. Also, any books/resources for the SB600 flash?

Like I said, I do OK with the camera/flash, but feel like there is a lot more I could do. With offspring #1 due in September, I'd like to get a little better at it.

Spend some times on photog forums. Take everything with a grain of salt, as each person will think their style is best, but everyone should have their own way of tweaking technique. That being said, it's not a bad place to learn some things.

Also, check out this list: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/books.htm

and

You will learn the most about photography by shooting and shooting a lot. I mean, every day, as much as your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/dog/pet will let you. Nothing will teach you more about photography, in my opinion, than just going out and shooting. Make mistakes, if you aren't making mistakes you aren't pushing your work to higher levels.

It is funny, I love books and have more than I can count but when I read about photography I do it on the web. I've read a number of good photography books but the place I learn the most about photography is on the web.

My number one place right now is http://pixoto.com. If you spend time studying, really studying the kind of photography you find there, you will become a better photographer.

other good websites I frequent:
http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/ (great site about off-camera small flash, Nikon shooter perspective)
http://www.confessionsofatraveljunkie.com/
http://www.stuckincustoms.com/
http://www.sylarena.com/ (another great site about off camera small flash, Canon shooter)
http://www.aphotoeditor.com/
http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/
http://www.pixelatedimage.com/blog/
http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/ (another great site about off-camera small flash, Nikon shooter)

books:
The Hot Shoe Diaries, Joe McNally
Within the Frame, David DuChemin

I realize I may have just had a soap box moment there, you'll excuse me I hope.

Our town does a Community Days celebration every year around this time. They have a pageant to select a young lady to represent our town all year. My daughter decided to participate this year. She didn't win but I was sure proud of how well she did. This is one of the pics I took before the contest. Messing around in LightRoom, thought this looked pretty cool.

Thanks Mark

It's a green leaf bug of one kind or another, not really sure. He was on the railing when I got home from work the other day.

Think your right Justin. I was Googling some images and appears to be a green wing leafhopper (of some variety)...

It was cool. I noticed it when I got home. He stayed there for me. I went inside took off my uniform, put on shorts, grapped the camera gear, went out and set up camera and tripod and he just sat there patiently for me :tu

Great site! Clean, fast, professional.

Did you contract out for site creation/maintenance? DIY?
I'm impressed - not just the galleries, but the interface to retail is smooth, too.

Well I have a new P&S coming in as a backup to my D90. Went with the Canon SX260HS. Going to a big cat sanctuary on Friday evening if the weather stays ok, hope to have some pix up this weekend.
