Not up to the usual standards seen on here, but just starting out.
That's a great start Peter !!!

Yep, I started out with Jerry Lodriguss' tuts.
One minor change I would suggest is not to use Auto WB
Even though the WB setting doesn't really affect the RAW frames when processing, they do affect the jpgs and what's viewed on the preview screen.

Using AWB could/will result in changes between frames as the camera may decide to switch to a different WB for whatever reason.

I always set my WB to Daylight (Sunny), which would be the closest to natural daylight and gives me consistent jpgs, (I always save both the RAW and jpg files).
As I said it doesn't alter the RAWs for processing.

Of course, if it's a modded camera then custom WB will be best for viewing the jpgs but again, won't affect the Raws.
