Name is BillS. I live in Healdsburg, CA.. the heart of the best wines in the world. I retired in 98 and do mostly woodcarving. I was active in photography back in the mid to late 50's. I worked for a camera repair shop in Baton Rouge while in HS. Learned to do some camera repair on everything from Kodak box cameras (Hawkeye) to Crown Grap press type cameras. When I came to Calif after HS, I didn't do much until about Y2K when I got my first digi PNS. I've had a couple of them doing little other than family shots and some pictures of my woodcarvings.
That changed a week ago when I broke down and bought Canon 50D with a Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM. Now, the big problem.. learning how to use this wonderful beast. For an old guy like me.. this will be a chore. I did purchase book to help me. "Canon EOS 50D Digital Field Guide" by Lowrie. I hope it will help. While I haven't gotten too far in the book.. My hope is it will take one thing at a time.. get me used to it.. and then add another feature..
If anyone has a recommendation for a most excellent book for a guy that is more a visual learner than a reader.. pass it on to me.. not the book..just the title
