I really like the bread one! And as said, the dog is hilarious! What lens were these taken with? If it was the kit lens then I'm very impressed!

Cat doesn't look too happy either !!

Yes, they were taken with the kit lens.....I've got a nice steep learning curve after years snapping cars with a compact, but I just know that this is about to take over my life!

And Smeggy the cat's 19yo in April....I was lucky to catch her actually awake!

Enjoy the new camera. it will take over your life, but it's loads of fun.

Cannot wait to see some of your shots when you do "get out there"

Good luck and have fun!!

Very nice pictures! Dog is ace, and DOF is nice. Kit lens is a wicked piece of kit. Enjoy the D40.
