>>3058040>do you guys ever use the automatic mode of taking pictures?No lol. Aperture priority is best for dynamic settings. Manual if you're doing landscapes or long exposure crap.
>the selection of lenses is quite overwhelming and I don't know what to look for. How do you guys choose the lens depending on the type of photos you want to take?A google search will get you many blog posts about choosing your first few lenses, if you have none. If your camera came with some kit lenses, use those until you figure out what you want to do, then buy lenses specific to your needs. Don't spend money you don't need to.
>do you keep your dslr with you at all times? If not, do you specifically take some time each week to go out just to look for good places for photos?I usually keep mine in my car in case of impromptu trips to interesting places. Otherwise, I try to schedule trips with one or two photog friends a few times a month.
