Hi folks,
Back in the '80's I used to have an entry level film SLR (automated light metering if I remember rightly) but it was stolen when my house was broken into. I had some good pictures though. In 2003 my second hubby COWASAKI bought me a Canon EOS 300V film camera but I never really got to grips with it apart from "point and shoot" mode as I'd forgotten all I'd learned about setting up a shot. Because of the costs of developing film we decided to go digital. As you know, he has just bought the Nikon D200 and wanted to share his new hobby with wifee so he also bought me a Nikon D40X. I am determined to learn how to get the best out of this camera and get creative with it rather than just using its "point and shoot" mode. Any advice you can give on the best approach to learning photography would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
