That's a lot of questions but it's late and I can't sleep, so here goes.
Q i bought me a digital slr nikon d80 ... it wont take pictures or quickly enough.
A The D80 is a great camera, as dpreview.com, Steve's Digicams, and any other reputable review site will confirm. To speed up the picture-to-picture time, you can put the D80 in continuous shooting mode. This way it will take 3 pictures per second, for as long as you keep the shutter button pressed down. Without the flash, that is. If you're using the flash, the flash itself requires several seconds to recharge. You can speed up the flash time by investing in an external flash - Nikon makes some really nice ones, but it will never be as fast as shooting without flash.
Q what is the best setting for portraits.
A Set the camera in aperture priority mode, with the aperture at around f/4. This will give a nice blurry background.
Q Also i bought some filters for the camera on ebay. these filters are softtone,diffuser,duto. the name brand ACE .i have taken pictures with these filters and still cant tell the difference , what am i doing wrong? or is it the filter itself?
A I personally own only two filters - a uv filter to protect the lens and a circular poleriser on bright sunny days. Everything else, including the effects that you SHOULD be getting with your filters, can be reproduced with image editing software. I suspect that the effects that your filters provide are too subtle to register at a glance. If you did some test shots with/ without the filters, using a tripod, shooting the same subjects with the same camera setings, and then if you compared the results at 100% magnification, you'd be able to see some differences. As for the brand ACE, never heard of them... but whoever made them, I'd expect the filters to WORK. On a side note, cheap filters can actually degrade image quality. And if the filters aren't properly coated (cheapies never are) they can introduce flare and ghosting, as well. All sorts of nasty stuff. Those 2 filters that I use set me back over 70 bucks each. That was for a massively expensive lens though, so I could rationalize the added expense.
Q do i need to set my camera on some kind of setting to make these pictures look right?
A Nope. Filters do not require special camera settings.
Q i take pictures without the flash i get this blurry picture. and it also looks yellow. what i do to help that?
A Without the flash, your shutter speed becomes a lot slower. Any handheld shot will become too jittery due to camera shake. Try using a tripod. Or if handheld, crank up the ISO setting - the image will become a bit grainy as a result, but grainy always beats blurred.
As for the yellow haze, that's caused by shooting in artificial light. Adjust the white balance setting on your camera to correct the issue. Alternatively, as in the days of film cameras, you could use a special filter to compensate. Or altenatively, alternatively, you could correct the image after the fact with image editing software. The white balance setting on the camera is by far the easyest option.
Please pardon any spelling mistakes - it's late and all, and my answer is too long for yahoo's built-in spell checker to work.
Oh, and i'm not a pro. just an avid amateur with a d200 and a lot of spare time.
