Tinkering with the SLR

It took forever to break in my new camera, Nikon D40, because Amazon was slower than molasses in shipping my memory card. But finally it arrived and I had time to read the manual while I waited. Yesterday, I took my first photos. Flowers in the yard are always a good subject.












Not too shabby for my first go, I spot the flaws now I need to learn how to fix them. I'm so used the P & S I found myself getting impatient. My second biggest issue was holding steady. With any luck I learn the settings and how to hold still fairly quickly.
