Wow already on page 2... lol. Good I can ask my n00b photography questions here. As a short start on my noobness, if I'm trying to get good Bokeh (I think thats what you call it) on a photo of something such as a flower, I don't want to zoom with my 18-55 kit lens right? From what I understand, as you zoom in, you cant adjust the aperture as far? This whole aperture/shutter speed/iso is a little complex, but I'm slowly getting it.

This site might help you out.

Take the time to actually read each part/section. Its set up pretty nice so that a person just getting into photography can understand. Good luck. Also, I recommend you joining POTN to learn more about your camera.

most simply...you can have a blurred background either with a large aperture (small number) or by increasing the distance from the subject to the background. this is way over-simplified so its easy to remember.

i would personally use the 55mm end at f/5.6

ok noobs, help me out...

i want a new memory card for my camera, to obviously fit more **** on it, haha.

right now i just have this...

im thinking of going up to a 1gig size. i saw on amazon there was a used one for like $19.99+ship. new they were like $50 or something.

the number on the back of it is sdmsv-256. if you guys know of anywhere i could get the 1gig, or even bigger, for cheaper would be great.

Jesus that's pricey. I just bought a 2 gig CompactFlash for 16 bucks, and you can get 2 gig SD cards for around the same... why is that so much more?

 

[Sketch o5]

cuz its amazon, thats why i was asking haha

 

[TheHunter]

Well best I can tell from that picture that's a memory stick pro, and on newegg, a brand new 4 gig Pro Duo is 23 bucks... I'm not positive if they're the same though.
