Newbie - be nice!

Hi all!

I have been lurking on the edges of this site for a while and after nearly 2 years Sandy Feet has finally managed to get me to register (plus I am the proud new owner of a D40 - my first SLR). As a previous P&S user I have a lot of learning to do!
I'm looking forward to improving my photography and learning from the forum.

Cheers, Elena :D

Hi, and welcome.

Which D40 did you get? The D40, or sthe the D40x?

It's a great step up from a PHD cam, and one which will see you on a learning curve that you thought you left behind in high school, but it can be very rewarding, and a whole lot of fun.

And remember - if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right.

Thanks for the welcome!
My camera is a D40, not a D40x - I had waited long enough already to buy one. Currently I have the kit twin lens pack but will no doubt get caught in lens-lust soon (as soon as the finances recover ... )

Cheers, Elena :D
