Hi all

My names Dave from Nuneaton Midlands.

I have just bought a second hand DSLR kit (Nikon D40 18-55 & 55-200) which i am really happy with so far.I am a total beginner to DSLR photography so just getting used to the basics of the camera first, then i hope to progress and move away from Auto and point and shoot so i hope to get some good advice and tips as i go along

I look forward to chatting to you all soon.

Dave

good start - I got same kit last November
when i bought my D40 - the owners manual was rubbish....printed in grey text :shake:!
have a look at "Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide (Paperback)" at Amazon Books <£10...well worth it ..............

2 good books from Amazon ..........
"Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson
"Creative Nature and Outdoor Photography" (Paperback)

I had my mind set on a new D90 originally as my first camera, so i bought the idiots guide to the D90 off Amazon while i was looking at cameras. i changed my mind and opted for the D40 as a starter :bonk: glad i did cos the techy stuff is very confusing at the moment..

I will take a look at the books thanks for the tips..
