hi my name is stacey. Im new to this site. It looks really cool. I hope I can get alot of use out of it. Well i own a Nikon D50 for about a year now and love it. NOw i want to take it the next level. I love taking pictures of my girls and what ever i can get my hands on ill take a picture of it. One day i would love a job in photography. I am wanting a new lens for my camera im looking for a wide angle lens and 55-200mm lens. the one i have right now is 18-55mm. But Im also glad i found this place to help me better my pictures. My mom says they are really great but it will be nice to get other opinons about my photos how i can perfect them. so i look forward getting to know alot of people. thank stacey

Hello Stacey,
"Welcome" to a great site and fantastic community, I hope you enjoy your time here. I am sure there are many folks here would will tell you everything you might want to know but remember "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" so what some might like others might not, so remember it's all about what you like in your images and how you want them to be perceived by others is all that matter.
Have to say Paul is right, get to know your camera inside and out, play around with all the settings and experiment with different types of setting and image concepts. I really look forward to seeing some of your images on here soon. Have fun and remember to just get stuck in.
David
