yay!!!!!!!!

hey Karen,

how are you? apart from grinning ear to ear :)

hahaha your going to have to come out photo hunting with me one weekend it's so cool what you can do with a DSLR, i've been sooooo hooked on mine in the last week or so, really getting into and learning the creative modes.

if you haven't got a tripod ( i got a Monfrotto 055XPROB tripod with a Monfrotto 804RC2 head, it's a little bulky but probably best cause i'm doing macro work)that's the first thing i suggest you get, i feel this was the best investment i made since purchasing my camera but also helping to learn about the functions properly to, cause you can set up a scene then take as many photos to practice and switch creative settings until you get the desired result!!

hahah i'm so stoked for you. did you get the twin lens kit??

i have been reding heaps of blogs this is the main one

http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/

and make sure you read all the beginer stuff it's relly helpful

http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/digital-photography-tips-for-beginners/

learn how to get your histograms up when you display a photo so can see whether it's too dark/light and make adjustments and so forth, i won't rable on anymore about it just have a read of those sites :)

Hope all's well, have lots of fun with your camera and make sure you take lots of photos cause the more you take the better you get, the more good shots you have and you will start to look at the world in another light or should i say veiwfinder just like cameras should be!! Take care all the best snapping.
