Re lenses: This very basic intro of mine may help.

Re Using your camera: Have a look at this:

Or this one of mine, even though I was using a Canon camera the principals are the same.

Default I would like to see more video tutorials

I just seem to get a faster and better understanding by visualizing rather than reading it 50 times. Loved the video about metering modes!

I've seen a lot of questions in the forums about printing digital photos -- dpi and ppi, color differences between monitor and print, best file formats -- so I'm trying to gauge interest in a tutorial that would cover the basics of prepping files for print. I don't want to go to the trouble and post it if there's no interest or if it's already been covered.

I think a "basic overview" of what is required to send out for print and to print yourself would be very beneficial. Especially if you addressed color management basics, calibration basics, and what DPI means (we see a lot of that here).

I've been hoping for some sort of tutorial on doing self shots, or self-portraits. Often times I do not have a model or other person present or willing, and sometimes if I wish for a certain shot.. I need to do it myself, in every way.

I am not sure whether or not such a tutorial exists, or if it's a silly idea, but I just wanted to put it out there. Thanks!

ETA: It occured to me... Is there also a tutorial on lens filters? I've always been interested, but there are so many different kinds out there. What would one use for what situation? What is most helpful? Etc.
