Default Tutorial DVDs

I am trying to teach myself as I go along can anyone suggest some good tutorial dvds that use simpler jargon. I'm not into the techie stuff and don't really care about "how" the camera works I just want to learn how to use it. I have a Nikon D60.

Thanks Dawna

Default Tutorials

Don't have any DVD's, but I have found Scott Kelby's book series on digital photography to be really good. Not technical...as he describes it, the book is written as if you and he were out shooting some photos together and you were to ask him, "Hey, how do I (insert your question here)?" He then answers it with minimal (or no technological stuff) and just tells you how to get the shot. And the books are small enough to fit in my case so I can take them with me in the field!

Dawna, have you seen these? I have the ones for my D40 and found them to be very helpful. Plus it's free ---

I got the set for Christmas! I had actually checked out his first book at the Library. They are really great books for the technically challenged (ME). I've already highlighted underlined and made notes!!

D60 | Digitutor | Global Site | Nikon Imaging....... I have checked those out before maybe a refresher course is needed though! Thanks for the reminder!!
