Hi everyone!
I have been following this website for a while now as I was planning to buy myself a camera and had no idea where to begin. Santa was really good to me this year and delivered a Nikon D3000 to me I am totally at a loss as to how to use it, so thought I'd try out this weekly challenge mostly so I can learn the basic functions of my new toy.
The main reason I wanted this camera is that I like to travel, so my camera will be used for photographing places and things I see along the way. For this reason, my main aim is to get a decent photograph without having to use photoshop or anything, and this is what I hope to learn by taking part in this challenge. I am happy to do a little editing on all photos, but will be aiming to keep it to a minimum. If anyone is able to help me out in achieving this, I'd appreciate it greatly
So, here goes!
As I was saying, I like to travel a lot. Its all I ever think about! So when I saw the theme for week 1 was 'direction', it felt very fitting! So I got out my collection of travel guides from the places I have visited over the years. These books helped me no end on my backpacking trips, guiding me in the right (and occasionally wrong) direction through these countries.

So, any advice? This is my very first try, be gentle
