With this camera possibilities are limitless, light enters the lens and is reflected off a mirror in the camera body to the optical viewfinder, when you look through the viewfinder you are looking through the lens (TTL). What you see is what you will get in the final print.
A DSLR has all the usual exposure modes, Programed Mode, Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter Priority Mode and all the usual Situation Modes, Night Portraiture, Landscape Photography, Action-Sports Photography (etc) the fun really begins when you select Manual Exposure. You can decide what to do with the background in your picture, make it sharp or blur it.
The shutter speeds are unbelievable, up to 1/4000 of a second for fast action shots and as slow as 30 seconds for pictures of multiple bursts of lightning or fireworks plus some DSLR cameras have a bulb setting so you can leave the shutter open for several minutes.
You can take a picture by candlelight with no flash by manually selecting a wide aperture and slow shutter speed to capture low light situations, (Available Light Photography). If you take pictures of large groups of people your pop-up flash may not be adequate, most DSLR cameras have a hot shoe for accessory flash units so you can purchase a powerful flash unit , slip it into the hot shoe and light up the night.
Most DSLR cameras are upgradable, they have interchangeable lenses, you can buy longer lenses to photograph subjects in the distance or wider lenses for panorama landscape shots. There are many accessories available, lens hoods, remote shutter releases, filters, devices to enable off-camera Flash operation (etc), the most important thing is you will take amazing pictures.
