[QUOTE="tomcatsgirl, post: 65939, member: 10137"] Good Morning, I am brand new to the forum and to photography. In 2007 before a trip to the Riveria Maya my husband bought us a new D40x. I did say I was going to take a class to learn my new camera and never did. Played with it a lot and took thousands of pictures nothing to write home about. Like I said I am new still even though I have had an slr for a few years. I am very into baking and taking pictures of what I have produced Cakes and Breads. Someday maybe a blog.
