Hey camera people.
I'm getting a tripod for Christmas…and I don't have a job yet for after I graduate, so I'm gonna try and learn a bit about photography. (no...i'm not gonna try and do anything professionally....I think thats silly for amateurs)
I took a photography class in middle school and learned all about aperture, f-stop, etc, but i've forgotten most/all of it. Also, that was all on film SLR.
Long story short, I'm looking for a few resources that might be a good primer for me to learn how to shoot on something other than auto. I'm probably gonna dabble in both macro and landscape shots, so some resource with some variety would be good too. I've got a Canon t3i with an 18-55mm lens.
All suggestions welcome

Got my Sony A7r, so a few samples from the A7r and the CV 35/1.2
How do you like it? Which lenses do you have? How well does it shoot in low light?

I have a bunch of weird lenses, but so far I've been using a tamron adaptall 17/3,5, cosina voigtlander 35/1.2, minolta rokkor 58/1.2 and contax-g zeiss 90/2.8 mostly. And I must say that it is really impressive in low light imo. I could shoot a few test frames tomorrow and show you how it is!

Thoughts on the Sony so far?

I have to admit that I really like it so far. Solid little tool. It isn't the fastest of cameras (if you want to do a lot of sports), but for landscapes, portraits and street photography, I find it quite nice.

Lucifer, thanks very much for posting the links to those large a7r images.
I'm really impressed. The noise looks similar to film grain when viewed on my monitor at a resolution of about 1660 x 1100. That camera could be just the thing to drag me into 21st century digital photography.
