A few of us here at Mod-Blog are amateur photographers (technically one of us is a pro, since he got paid at least one time I am aware of) and owners of digital SLR cameras. If you don't know what an SLR camera is, this article probably is not for you. If you DO, then you might be interested in this posting from LifeHacker where they do a great job of explaining the basics of using the Manual Modes on a digital SLR camera. These modes allow you to directly control shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, and the article explains how to compensate each for best effect.
Actually, many "normal" digital cameras these days also have manual modes. So click on through anyway, if you want a chance to take better pictures.

Very informative. I have a basic digital camera, but this was useful to know for my film SLR.
I should have known all this stuff long ago... never looked it up:)
i'm assuming that the pro you're talking about is me, since i know that you know i get paid for my photos. it's a good rudimentary explanation of the items you want to take into consideration when using your DSLR.
i generally shoot in RAW format, so that if i do end up with a good photo that has too much or too little light i can compensate for it in post processing without losing much or any of the quality of the photo.
photos are all about light, learn to balance it in the right ways and you're 3/4 of the way to great photos.
Yup, you're the pro of which I spoke.
I am happier staying UNpaid for my photos to date. But I still enjoy taking them!
