Can you recommend a book or guide that tells me how to set my Nikon D50 SLR digital camera for specific scenes?

I am looking for a book or guide that tells me how to set my Nikon D50 SLR camera for specific scenes. The ideal book would show a photograph and the exact settings (shutter speed, aperture, etc) the camera used. I've read the manual, but it's a bit difficult to remember the various settings. I also want to avoid the "automatic" setting, in hopes of achieving a better shot. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Unlike P&S cameras there are no settings for specific scenes. The D50 is a fully adjustable camera and the f/stop and shutter speeds depends completely upon the effect you are attempting to archive.

You don't have to remember your settings. Just compose the shot and set the camera using the fine light meter on the camera, using the aperture to set the depth of field, or the shutter speed to either "freeze" the action or imply speed by panning at slow shutter speeds.

These are the things you will learn if you take a couple of classes in photography.

You may have noticed that the photographers you see shooting at professional sports games are not continually looking at notes to see how to shoot the next shot. They bring the camera up to their eye and then make any adjustments they need to make and then take the shot.
