Also, if you desire to pursue the basics of photography, then have a read of my night photography tutorial. The link is in my signature. LightWorks Portfolio

Trvlr323 Goldmember  3,318 posts Likes: 1091 Joined Apr 2007 More info | Ranger - the best advice that has been given to you here is to learn the camera. When I first got into SLR I took a 40 hour course at a local college. It was a great experience and really allowed me the best possible experience with my SLR. With the explosion in DSLR sales it won't be hard to find a course somewhere, be it at a school, community center, camera store or on-line. You won't regret it. Sometimes not taking a photograph can be as problematic as taking one. - Alex Webb
