Mastering the Nikon D5000 by Darrell Young is a comprehensive guide for of the owners of this newest, budget-friendly generation of Nikon digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. The smaller, more lightweight Nikon D5000 mixes generous portions of user-controlled manual photography features with the latest technological innovations, allowing fully automatic point and shoot simplicity.

Darrells approach in helping the reader to master this camera avoids the purely instructional technique, favoring a more friendly and advisory tone. He blends his decades of Nikon camera experience with an intuitive understanding of the readers most likely questions regarding specific camera functions and features. Rather than just list all options for the myriad of camera settings and adjustments, he explains the background behind each setting and shares his personal recommendations.

Darrell understands that many owners of the D5000 may be just entering the world of DSLRs, and he takes...

About the Author

Darrell Young - Author

Darrell Young ( DigitalDarrell ) is an information technology engineer by trade and has been an avid photographer for over 35 years. He has a rather large family, with his wife and five children, so he has a constantly interesting flow of photographic opportunities. In fact, his entire family uses Nikon cameras to pursue what has become a cohesive family hobby.

Darrell delights in using Nikons newest digital cameras but if pressed, he will admit to being a closet film user too. Living next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has given him a real concern for, and interest in, nature photography. Darrell loves to write, as you can see in the Resources area of the Nikonians. org community. He joined the community in the year 2000, and his literary contributions led to his invitation to become a Founding Member of the Nikonians Writers Guild.

Foreword
Nikonian Darrell Young known to us for many years as Digital Darrell has - photo 2

Nikonian Darrell Young, known to us for many years as Digital Darrell, has consistently been a source of instructional wisdom delivered with a touch of friendly humor. His extensive collection of informative articles has been a valuable resource in the articles knowledge base, Resources at Nikonians.

This work represents yet another progression in the rapid growth of our international community of photographers from all walks of life, recently exceeding 200,000 members from nearly 150 countries, and is a way to further confirm our Nikonians vocation in education, reopening an additional communication channelbooksto our more than 80 existing interactive forums including The Nikonian eZine, Nikonians Academy Workshops, Nikonians News Blog, Nikonians podcasts, etc.

Nikonians has earned a reputation as a friendly, reliable, informative, and passionate Nikon users community thanks in great measure to members like our own Digital Darrell, who have taken the time to share the results of their experiences with Nikon imaging equipment, despite the pressures of their day jobs.

The Nikonians community has long been known as a welcoming, worldwide home for Nikon users, and Darrells specialty in his writing is the ability to share his knowledge in the spirit of a friendly uncle in the comfort of your own living room.

Darrells easy and friendly approach is appreciated by the increasing number of our community members who have been fortunate enough to acquire the Nikon D5000 DSLR. This camera represents a new step in bridging the gap between prosumer and professional DSLRs, and Darrell helps to explain some of the complex engineering that makes this all possible. As with his previous books on Nikon DSLRs, his goal is always to help readers understand not only the camera, but also the wealth of photographic advantages it can deliver thanks to the ingenuity of Nikon engineering.

We would like to congratulate Darrell for his work on this project, and special thanks goes to Tom Bon, Nikonians Chief Editor who has helped in streamlining the publication process in this, the fifth in the series of the NikoniansPress books, in association with Rocky Nook.

Preface

I grew up looking at pictures.

Ever since I was a baby my mother took hundreds of photographs of our family life, capturing small pieces of time frozen in little negative squares. Today, I can still look back at those images and they awaken memories that would otherwise be forgotten.

In 1968, my dear Mom gave me my first Brownie Hawkeye camera, and that little camera ignited a fire in me for taking pictures. I remember my mothers words of instruction, Load the film in a dark place, never open the film door until after you rewind, and keep the sun behind you when you shoot.

From that day forward I often carried a camera with me. I took the fuzzy pictures of a 13-year-old as I hiked up the Roosevelt Mountain in Rockwood, Tennessee, USA, with my brother Steven and my friend named Scott. Every major event of my life has a few frames attached.

As an adult, I began photographing my own family, and to this day Ive been documenting the growth of my five children. From my earliest memories, photography has been a part of my life, and Ill keep on shooting as long as I am able.

The year 1980 was a milestone for me; thats when I got my first Nikon camera. It was a nearly new Nikon FM, and I reveled in its incredible build, and the unbelievable images it produced. Before then, I had been shooting with Kodak 110 and 126 cameras, and although those images have priceless personal value, they would win no contests. I graduated from negatives to transparencies in 1981, as I realized that even sharper and less grainy images could be created in those delightful little two-inch squares. I loved film, and shot a lot of it. I wanted to shoot even more, but the cost of raising kids took precedence over the cost of film and processing.
