Hi and welcome, John!

Here's the best place to start off reading:

Digital Photography Tips and Tutorials

Also, you may want to look into picking up the book "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson.

Congrats on your new purchase and can't wait to see some of your photographs!

Hi and welcome,
Best thing we could tell you here is always listen to me. And only me. And it would have been better if I thought you were a hot young woman.. now I have no drive to help you!

Kidding aside, seriously welcome to DPS.. we're like a family .. a dysfunctional one that is, but a fam none the less.

Ya know, Al...it's just ever since the image of Luke in a kilt was burned into my brain for all of eternity, that's pretty much all I can think about him....
